That's interesting to hear mate. I've been looking at at a Rem 700 in 308 or 300 mag. Which areas do you think Remington are falling behind in?

Spot & Stalk, That's pretty much bread and butter hunting down here in New Zealand. In the area your hunting , apart from thick bush, a smart hunter will walk for ten minutes and glass for twenty. An old hunter once told me that "For every deer you see, there was three you missed.":)

No I have not had the chance to hunt pheasants or such here in Canterbury. I know they are about in small pockets, manly on private property. Many years ago as a young lad of about 10, I remember going out with my dad and a group of local farmers with there young boys to shot 2 or 3 farms in...

I would say angled, as at the bench I can spot for myself. In the field I must admit I have not ever used a spotting scope, just my Leupold Binoculars. :)

Thanks SpencerSS, I love the Rem 510. It keeps me honest, Cause if I miss, I know it wasn't the rifles fault. At $100, pound for pound on a level playing field, it would match my $1200 varmint Ruger 10/22 for grouping. Most of us have our pet calibers we like and love to argue (in good...

HI Center Punch, Just to clear thing up a bit. The 3 round group I shot was at an indoor small-bore range, off a competition rest, using Remington Competition match ammo and I was having the Best Day EVER!!!! gun). The CCI subs are for round the house or chicken coop on our friends farm...

Hay Guys, There are sum real works of art on this thread. I'm new to the centerfire game as I have only recently bought myself a medium cal centerfire in 6.5x55 (Will have to post sum snaps of it when it come back from my smithy). Most of my shooting has been .22 rimfire, so I have become adept...

I'm only just getting into reloading since I bought a 2nd hand bench gun (The guy said that the barrel was shot out and wouldn't group tight enough anymore @ 500 for club shoots) based on a Husqvarna 6.5x55 swede action, 26 inch heavy barrel, Timney Trigger, Fixed x15 Scope and a very nice...

DM is the way to go. Out in the field you need to be flexible and able to shoot to the conditions. A 225gr HPBT with a MV of 3000fps is not what you need if (on your first day of a 3 day hunt) you crest a ridge and your target only 300mts away. :D

Only hunted them one season, when I was 16. There where about 30 birds that would move around the valley on my friends farm. We both only had .22 rimfires, so that's what we used(Oooops). Longest shot, Tom@62yrds base of the neck and he's in the bag. gun)
