   My 2 cents, The 308 family (243, 260, 7M08 and 308 and the CM's ) with correct bullet selection will work out to 500 mtr. But you do need the higher BC bullets (definitely in the 6 and 6.5mm sizes)...

   ShortStuff liked post by ZQLewis On thread : Scope ideas?

   I have a Burris veracity 2-10x42 which I use on my lever gun, really great looking into the dark spots around the bush margins in poor light and easily enough scope for my 300mtr limit on that gun. ...

   Thanks trapperjohn, i missed that thread. I did a forum search on the hut name not on the road. Thanks guy's, 4wd Ute but I'm conservative with where i go as I don't have recovery gear or winch. Z

   243 with factory ammo would be fine for anything in the north island out to 300 mtr. If you get one with the new fast twist barrels and hand load then you are good to 500mtr. Again bullet...

   Hi, Can't comment on a Howa specific but in general a 243 is a 243 and they are generally not a picky caliber to work with. I'm assuming its the typical 1:9 or 1:10 twist. Noting that this...

    For North island hunting anything from 223 to up would be fine. If you are focusing on the smaller game wallabies fallow etc then 222, 223, 220, 22-250, 243, 6mm, Also range is part of it as well. ...

    With the 1:8 the Hornady ELD in 108gr or 103gr could be on the table as well. I use the 108gr ELD-M's in mine. Z
