I agree whole heartedly!! I use his techniques, bedding compound and his advice all the time. He is a great guy who knows his stuff

Cheers. I love chasing bulls in the mountains.. humbling and amazing

Thanks mate. would of been much easier with you along!!

@@ChasetheWildNZ Ha I remember that hill climb! Not for the faint hearted.

Certainly.. thank you. We are very lucky here to be able to hunt these year round. Although best in winter when their coats are epic

Thanks. Yes we are truely blessed here with hunting opportunities

Haha I did look decidedly second hand

1-8.5 but have used the 180gr with factory sendero barrel was 1:9.25. worked fine. Mild loads get 2850-2900 and hot node around 2940-2970. Very similar to PRC . We finding PRC a bit faster so can go shorter barrels but very similar really

One basin over from DOC land but private.

Thanks mate.. I'd say April I'd ideal for both. Red deer roar and the Tahr will be getting into their winter coats

You could do it!! Slowly slowly.. one foot in front of the next.. no rush!

Yeah it's a great option. Very good BC and hits HARD. The 30cals do kill very well too but the BC let's them down until they are high gr . Over 208gr they start to catch up to the 7mms ballistics

I am think about it being my son's first deer rifle. Your thoughts

@@waylove04 I think something like a 7mm08 or 284 or 280 would be perfect. Are we talking smaller deer or big reds? Do you hand load?

I don't reload and this will be our first Deer season hunting for whitetail.

@@waylove04 a 7mm08 using the factory 139gr American white tail will be perfect. Especially if you can supress it or a brake on it for the young fella. I've used that ammo on fallow deer and pigs to 350y easy. If you need to shot further then the expedition hunter ammo will do well to 500-600y without issue
