    Suppressors 338 can on 308/300wm

    Re: 338 can on 308/300wm Nice rig Rob. Crazy mixed up rules, over here in NZ (bottom of the world) suppressors are easy to get, kids can buy them. But try buying an AR15 or high capacity magazine (even for 10/22's) and it's a mountain of paperwork. Getting a silencer fitted end of the...

    Rifle Scopes How far can I go?

    Re: How far can I go? Agreed, we all dial so at some stage we will move from the best part of the lens to parts less so. However, many of us while hunting will not adjust and simply use our point blank range, and it's having the best glass used most of the time. I would rather use the best...

    Rifle Scopes 34mm rings ?

    Re: 34mm rings ? Not that I'm aware of, best bet would be to flick them an email - they may have built some as a special order. Or at least you're letting them know there is a demand (who knows how many emails asking the same thing they've received).

    McMillian G30 Actions

    Re: McMillian G30 Actions If you're looking for an action which isn't common, take a look also at Barnard Precision over here in NZ. I don't have one, but hear very good things about them, particularly in the F Class area (they also do magazine fed receivers, conforming to the Remington 700...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Rings

    Re: Scope Rings I've just ordered some Burris Extreme 30mm rings, also putting on a 50mm objective lens scope. I chose low because with only a 50mm objective, the objective is only 10mm above and below the actual scope tube. This will be going on a Remington 700 with a one piece zero cant...

    Rifle Scopes What magnifications do you prefer to use?

    Re: What magnifications do you prefer to use? Ditto, highest for paper punching, but lowest for walking around on the hunt. Started off with a 6-24*44 Tasco, and apart from the glass it was just too much magnification for quickly locating an animal - great for the range though. Went to the...

    Rifle Scopes How far can I go?

    Re: How far can I go? As Lindy mentioned above, your current setup will get you very close. Working on a manufacturers (PMC) drop chart for a 180gn Sierra SPBT projectile in 308 zeroed at 200 yards: Muzzle -1.5 inches 100 Yards +2.17 inches 200 Yards 0.00 (zero) 300 Yards -8.89 inches 400...

    Rifle Scopes Quick question on Leupold Mark 4 Scope

    Hi all, I've recently purchased a Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14*40, with the Target Turrets and MilDot reticle. Unfortunately the material that I received with the scope does not elaborate on the correct magnification for the MilDot. Does anyone here know what magnification is correct when using the...

    Re: Mini Red Dot for my AR I've been looking at the same option, however the target turrets on the Mark 4 count them all out. Other option for close up work is a red/green laser?

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Conquest or Burris XTR

    Re: Zeiss Conquest or Burris XTR It all comes down to what you want to do with the scope, put the most important elements of a scope in order according to your hunting, and go from there - within any budget the choices get relatively fewer according to your preference: Quality of glass...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Conquest or Burris XTR

    Re: Zeiss Conquest or Burris XTR Regardless of the glass (to a point) if you can't reach out and touch someone through lack of adjustment then whats the point? I faced the same question, so I decided to go with a Mark 4, all the adjustment I could ever want.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone have experience with Leupold Tactical Binos

    Hi all, New member, but like many I've been an unregistered viewer for some time now. Hoping to tap into the knowledge of the Hide. I'm looking at purchasing a pair of Leupold Tactial Binos in 10*50, unfortunately over here in NZ no one stocks them, so they would be brought in for me - so no...
