As far as macpac tents go, they are very bombproof, and they have just dropped the latest new and improved version of the olympus and minaret (named v2). I would say Minaret is great if you are...

Given your likely rifle choice - 708 or 308, then 500yds is realistic max hunting range imo. Some might argue 400. Anyhooo a 10x, 12x or 15x will do the job. So definitely include the Swaro Z5...

Shoot fibre wad loads. They shoot at least a point looser than plastic cup wads, and you'll feel better leaving them scattered all over the place.

Today was the day I took the Lupo to the range to see what it could. I used 3 rounds to get the scope roughly sighted in, then ran a couple of wet patches through the bore, wiped it out and fired a...

I have a mineret and only recommend it as a 1 person tent. The 1 end door which is also the vestibule is ok by myself but a pain in the arse with 2 people. Even worse in bad weather when you have 2...

Kuiu Mountain or Storm star. Exterior poles are so good, especially if pitching in bad weather.

Just thought I would do a follow up post for anyone interested. So I've shot 3 animals (1 private fallow in bush, 2 public Kaimai bush reds) since this thread and implemented 2 changes: 1....

Really though you may need to be more selective about placement. How much effort are you putting into looking for the animal after the shot? Are you tracking?

Yep. I wore out a 270 barrel solely using the 130gr Corelokt. Performance wise on game its what I still judge every projectile I try by.

Olympus is pretty hard to beat, The Kuiu stormstar would be another one to look at (2 man) The macpac Aspiring would be worth looking at being a 3 man, but is heavier than what you're talking...
