If I understand correctly from talking to a mate near there, Duncan rd is the new popular spot. The Farm is on Hunting HQ and quite a few people have been thinking of avoiding the fees. If that bit...

I’m a very novice hunter myself and just bought my first rifle in the last 6 weeks - a Howa 1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor. Having lost my job in the last month I’ve had plenty of time to use it too! I...

A lot of people buying their first rifle said they’d never want to shoot over 400 yards… :-). Once you work out how capable modern rifles are you might change your mind. With that in mind I’d go...

Either way, I'm very bias towards the 243, lower recoil, and wider ammo selection. But the 6.5 CM might future proof you for longer range shooting or hunting. I like Howa rifles a lot, and you won't...

Local dude has both 6.5CM and 6.5PRC. He says his CM is his main walkabout rifle. I know. He sends lotsa fotos of dead deer and pigs. Uses the PRC for long range stuff.

The creed is a great caliber mine is 19" and shoots a 143 eldx at 2770fps. I think 18 to 20" is a perfect length for most calibers with similar case length. There is a very nice Howa Alpine 6.5 on...

Get what ever you can get a good supply of good supply of ammo with. I use the factory hornady 143 eldx in my 6.5cm and it slays. Sent from my SM-S928B using Tapatalk

There is often escapees on the way in also as the place is surrounded by deer farms. Dont even think about getting a rifle out until you hit the point you have marked on the map.
