All of mine are buried in the dunes at Otamarakau. It's a special place for both myself and the dogs. It's the first place I ever saw a pointing dog in action. It's also the training ground that...

Sorry to hear of your loss Trig. He looks like the type of dog who would be very tuned into your mood and needs. Great choice on his ashes. I managed to put a paw print of my old boy and girl into...

Always buried mine where we were living when they departed. That was their home that they knew, feel that's where they were happy. An odd one is in the bush if that was where their life ended.

Greetings Kiwiazonic, If you are getting more velocity than Hornady then you are getting more pressure. I assume that with an eight inch twist it is not a factory barrel. If so this could account...

Hi Team, I'm in need of some wisdom from the forum. I have worked up a load for my 7RM that can shoot the hair off the nut of a fly at 100y (exaggerating a bit). However the load is a lot...

Nathanfish - it does seem really well made stuff, very tough. I think all wet weather gear is noisy, even the Hunter Element stuff I was looking at, Oxide I think it was called, was not quiet. I...

Had to put my loyal lab cross Ruger down 2 days ago. After a very short and aggressive battle with lymphoma. We've decided to cremate him and put some ashes into a solid bronze mould of his paws to...

The Swarovski X5s are heavy at around 900 grams. Hopefully Ginga will report back on how his Z5 performs, I also think Ginga will be chuffed.

Ok got one this morning at Rivers to Ranges. Thanks Jeremy! On 260carbonlight it clears the barrel by 2mm so all good there. At 2.4 power looks to be spot on for bush hunting and at 12 power...

20 inch for me. I found near on 3000fps in a 3.3kg rig too light to punch the 147s. I reckon 3.6 to 4 kg would be mint! Still reserved on the 6.5 as I have only shot 7 or 9 deer and 40 odd goats...

My wife has the Z3 4-12x50mm ballistic turret mounted to her bolt action 250 AI and it has been a very good scope. It gathers a little more light than the Z5 3.5-18x44mm and the ballistic turret...
