    Mathias liked post by Tahr On thread : Rifle Cleaning Day Today
    I have just put 250 odd shots through my .223 over a week and cleaning apart from a swipe with a bore snake hasn't entered my head. I do a deep clean every few months whether it needs it or not :)

    Have hunted by myself mostly forever. In the days when meat was part of my living and I had a young family I taught myself to make good decisions under stressful conditions. I learned to be calm....

    There’s definitely positives for going solo - you can do everything on your schedule, and I think I get more animals by myself too. I guess it comes down to individual risk tolerance at the end of...

    To answer OP, no carry on business as usual. This is what a PLB is for. As with anything, any risk you take should be calculated. You only live once, don't live in regret for not having checked the...

    I shot these 2 with the 74 grn Targex at 3k. About 100 yards. They work pretty well - like the 73 ELDM I expect. Have shot quite a few deer with them - loaded a few hundred for wallaby and once I...

    Formed a few more 8.6 Blackout cases ready to go. 247933 Neck turning an absolute necessity because of how thick the necks come out. Time consuming. But pretty.

    Shot this spiker on last day of seven day trip, right on the main divide in South Westland. Thought my stag from the same area in 2022 was going to be hard to beat. Think this is his brother or...

    First Pureoras stag for me today on the eastern side. No monster trophy but always good fun stalking in when it is roaring well. Shot at 10m. Was a hard choice to chase reds or sika on a last minute...

    Mathias liked post by cambo On thread : Hilux Timing Belt - Change Or Not?
