Bugger all goats in Canterbury, Kaikoura or West Coast will be your best bet.

I bought a pair of 7X40 Leupold binos in 1986 which stayed as clear as, but lost a bit of focus after I dropped them about 2000. Leupold in Oregon said send them back and they were back and fixed in...

I'm sure Gimp says above that he has shot deer out to 420m, which is about 460 yards, with them. Tahr stated he is most comfy out to 300 with maximum shots out to 375 yards. Big difference between...

To understand experienced or likely terminal results, we can take predictive (speculative) approaches, or empirical observational approaches using data from actual performance. On the latter, the...

150g federal blue box has shot well in all my .308 S over the years.

As said above if only shooting out to 200m any lead tip will be more than effective. I’d just go with a box of 150gr of whatever’s reasonably priced. Always practice out further than you want to...

308s aren't picky. Grab a box of Sako, Federal, Remington, Norma, Hornady, Winchester with 150gn projectiles. I doubt you'll be able to tell the difference between any of them in accuracy nor...

Not to turn this into a discussion on velocity consistency, but I'll round my thoughts off by noting that hunters shouldn't be terrible concerned about it (at all). At ranges out to 400 metres,...

Thanks for the info, I think in reality I'll need to try and stalk into 300yds where I am very confident in a killing shot. Cheers!

With 70-80 grn bullets I use 1,800 fps as a max range as far as penetration and expansion goes and then factor in wind and other variables, and my ability. It usually means 350/375 yds pulls me up....

Yes it's not the cost of producing the scope that they worry about when giving a new one out for free, it is the lost sale. But in Leupolds case, the extra sales generated by consumers faith in...

Smart move by Leupold, Burris too. if they go the extra mile for you they gain a return customer and by reputation, maybe a few more. Their actual cost price to supply a new scope would probably...

Marty Henry I don't know much about the K-Hornet, other than it has an angled shoulder to stop the cases stretching, a bigger powder capacity and therefore higher velocity (and presumably higher...
