    Got-ya liked post by Shearer On thread : Best 3-9x40 scope under $800?
    [QUOTE=Sarvo;1058456] My understanding is that hunting in Europe is a bit different than bush bashing in NZ. A 56mm objective is great for sitting in a tree stand at last light but it does mean...

    Got-ya liked post by Gamehunter On thread : Whitebaiting
    I never heard about undersized fish or net mesh. I started whitebaiting at 13 and it was super competitive but fair on Devonport wharf. If your net was in position on the wharf you had to be on the...

    I'd go either 17wsm in semi, or better a Browning BLR in 223 in lever. Next step would be a bolt action with 10 round mags.

    Great guns, a lot of fun factor to be had working the action, bloody hopeless for shooting from a low prone postion. Unlike Rushy I have no problem with a scope on them, in fact I think they look...

    Got-ya liked post by canross On thread : Why semiautos
    I found many semis generally far better built and designed than commercial firearms. Many are easy to strip and clean with a minimum of tools, few spare parts to be lost, etc. I used to hunt with a...

    I have been fortunate to have used several good scopes over my hunting and shooting years. Started with a little Bushnell 2 1/2 fixed power post and crosshair on a 303. Shot plenty of deer, pigs,...

    Got-ya liked post by nowool On thread : 14.5" BLR on trademe
    BLR's use detachable mag and 10 round mags aplenty.....so price goes up at least till the labour govt figures out they fire as fast as a pump.

    I have to admire your tenacity! That is lot of work without a milling slide, buggerizing around with packers and a dial gauge before you can make a cut! It just goes to show what can be done on a...

    Got-ya liked post by 7.62 On thread : 8x42 v 10x42 Binos
    10x is more popular but I prefer 8x, simply due to the wider field of view. I’ve also found 8x to be more than adequate when glassing at longer ranges, provided the glass is up to the task. I’ve used...
