    Photos Lockdown Drone Purchase (DJI Mavic Mini)

    Hope everyone is doing ok through these strange times. Like most people I guess, I have had my annual hunting trip delayed by a year. I normally only get back to NZ once a year in Autumn / Fall but missed out. Bored out of my tree I bought a drone with the money I would've spent on the trip...

    Rifle Scopes Optika 6 4.5-27x50 MRAD opinions

    Anyone with real world experience? Not been able to find any YouTube videos with a review on them other than a quick “the glass is great” comment. After a more substantial review if anyone has a link or cares to share. I did see the review on the 5-30x56 saying the eye box was tight and a bit...

    Rifle Scopes Delta Stryker HD 4.5-30x56 - Tikka Ring height

    Rifle Scopes Delta Stryker HD 4.5-30x56

    Just after some real world opinions on this optic. I have the chance to buy one but can't view it as it will be an online purchase from another state. I have read the report from Ilya and that excites me but was after some opinions on long range (over 600) use in the field and the parallax...

    Rifle Scopes NXS or ETR

    Just wondering what has the better eye box at full power? It’s going to be used mostly at full power for gongs and long range medium sized game. I know the NSX is sfp but still interested in opinions on the eye box.

    Seems like they are listening. Anyone else had any time with the new turret? Love to know if it's an interchangeable part because I would be all over one if so.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell HDMR ii

    Please help me understand the difference between the HDMR and the DMR? I'm also keen to hear your opinion on the glass against the Nightforce NXS. I had an old NXS without zero stop that had decent glass. I hear and read that the DMR is a step up in glass quality, I know it's a matter of...

    6.5 Help

    I'm looking for anyone who knows about or has used 6.5 Projectiles that like being seated deep in the case. I'm currently building a 6.5/284 on a Short Action. I know that a long action would be better but I have gone ahead with the build... The Wyatts extended mag box and PTG Canoe bottom...

    .260 build underway.

    A mate of mine and I were in the process of building twin 6.5-06 rifles for some mild kicking long range goodness. We were going to use Vulcan Barrels but their button broke so we rang the Shilen suppliers and they had 1 barrel only so that was used to build the 6.5-06 which has proved to be...

    6.5X06 Build progress

    So after a few years of being teased by a mate.... I have decided to build a longer range rig. I sold my savage 22-250 that I built up for some funds and bought a Remmy 700 .270 and Shilen 6.5 Barrel. We decided to build 2 of them and played with the idea of 6.5 SAUM and the 284 version...
