@camstocky2019 definitely wasn't us with the toilet paper etc! I bury deep and those other lads have been hunting for 20+ years. It's a very nice area. I hope I've kept it from being recognized, found 2 stags without heads and an old merino without head too. Looked like it already had a bit of attention by time we got there. Doesn't help with the R22 scouting around in the avos!

@camstocky2019 yes I think the sweet spot is using it on the end of an already very good sound suppressor (most ones that are 6" forward) if you add one to the shorter ones you can get a little bit of a ringing in the ears which isn't ideal!!!

Cheers. Got all the supressors and 30 cal waiting for weather to clear!

@@ChasetheWildNZ Awesome, that's exciting! Brutal southerly wind out there at the moment. We're getting slammed, the house is shaking 😆

@@spoonheadmusic same!!!

Good choice!

Another in chamber, just in case.. sometimes shot placement isn't ideal but this time was spot on

It sure is

Yes its great glass. Especially for the price!

Yes its a solid option. Great tracking and can be easily used for hunting or competition

Thank you. Lots of practice before engaging animals

Thanks!

It is indeed, government killed 20k of them

Thanks!! I mainly use the Eld-ms, heavy for calibre. Most of the ones in this vid were the 180gr 7mm from a rem mag. Or the 162gr eldm from 7m08

@ChasetheWildNZ awesome. Will be from a 300 prc so maybe the 208 or 225 would go well. I'll give them a go. Appreciate it 👍

@@timbarbara2935 both hit like hammers!!

Cheers! Even filmed that one and shot it myself!

Like lamb! No fat though

@@ChasetheWildNZ Thanks mate - appreciate the answer.

Thanks! Lots and lots of practice goes into that

It is indeed!! Can't wait to get into the snow again

Thanks. Yeah the gun has been humming for It's whole life. Love it. Good to see that even with different ppl behind the trigger it consistently hits the mark

@@ChasetheWildNZ I missed it I think but it that a RUM? What ammo used?

@@derekmcmurry 7mm rem mag. Hand load 180gr eldms at around 2900fps

@@ChasetheWildNZ Excellent. Love my 7RemMags. My custom is shooting 168 Berger VLDs over Retumbo at 3000fps. 26" Krieger barrel, Jewel trigger at 1 pound, McMillan stock, Stiller Predator action. I have 2 Tikkas in 7RemMag with 150 Barnes TTSX in one and 140 TSX in the other. I did kill a couple whitetail deer with one of my new 7PRCs using factory Hornady ELDM 180 ammo. Worked fine.

@derekmcmurry4263 nice set ups. Yeah I use retumbo for the 180s. They work well. Check out the my vids. Must be 100 one shot kills with that gun easy

Mostly 7mm rem mag or 6.5 creedmoor. All using the Hornady eldms or eldxs

Thanks lad. You'll be coming along when your kids grow a little and time frees up!

The rifle is indeed mine.. I'd call it sharing an adventure rather than guiding!

Although I have been shooting a long time (mainly shotguns), 22Lrs I've used a lot, but only went centrefire about four years ago and loving it. I joined the NZDA about the same time and get onto a few club shoots but too many young guns go and get to the best spots first. I've shot red spikers, half a dozen fallow (but one good buck with a patched round ball rifle). I have been dropping hints in the club to get me out onto a good Tahr and / or chamois, but no one has picked on my hints lol. While I am 70 and fitter than most my age, it's getting harder to get into the hills. It was part of the reason I moved from muzzle loading rifles to mt .243!

@richardt.4224 I know a half decent spot that's 1.5hrs from the car. Gimme an email. (In my YT profile)Love to take you for a tahr

2 days to get to him! Kept getting distracted with other opportunities!! The lack of water was touch an go!

Thanks!!

Hehe sorry

Haha I do love them. For the 7mm Rem Mag I use the 180gr eldms. Hope you watched Part 1!

@@ChasetheWildNZ i see, may i ask why eldm over eldx? Because i am new to the reloading world, so much to learn,and btw i watched almost all your videos, awesome channel 🙌🏼👌🏼,would love too talk to you personally, how can i contact you ? And if you guys wanna hunt sindh ibex, here to help out !

@syednoori3799 The eldx is also a great bullet but harder to get here and slightly tougher so the longer range wounding isn't quite as reliable. My email is in my channel description. Feel free. Or through Instagram @chase_the_wild_nz

Haha thank you!! Just slow and steady is the key

It's indeed a m700 and a NZ made trueflite barrel. Nz made precision platform carbon stock. Element optics nexus scope. Absolutely love this gun

Correct. Some of my later vids actually catch the bullet using a spotting scope and lots of frames a second!

My pleasure

Thanks mate. It was a great hunt

Cheers foster.. not the Poulter but not far off

Yeah, the "Poulter herd" is these days spread over a wide swath of territory comprising several big watersheds . . . . But by the looks of that head it's retaining its genetic characteristics still, I have a very similar head here taken from the Esk Head area.

@@fosterprice5690 interesting. Saw lots with very similar heads..

See if you can find a copy of Bruce Banwell's book on the Poulter herd red stags. . . . .

Yes, off hand at 40m. Nice and close so the big 180gr pill dumped most of the energy into the bank! Both exit holes were size of your fist but still.it didn't put it straight down. A smaller pill would of helped here.

Thank you

Thanks for watching

Thanks! Much appreciated

I've started the editing!

Cheers. Yeah same!! Editing takes so much time but it's worth it for the end result

Exactly!!! Lifetime of memories from the mountains

This is a great point, a lot of people try to do the cross arm technique and get straight behind rifle in the mountains and it doesn't go well for them. I always have one hand over the scope when using bipod. And I get off to one side with a knee up to let myself breathe and able to adjust to the terrain. Off the pack is great as it's always the same shooting platform but it does need practice to setup quickly. Definitely practice controlling the gun well. Steep uphill shots when using cross arm cause high jumps which you see in the slow motion shots on red stag hunters club etc. Check out Nathan fosters guides to holding the foreend at www.ballisticstudies.com

Hey man. My pick are the tier One tactical bipod from stagersports. Or a genuine Harris. Both are around 9-13" adjustable. You need the length. The tier1 is wider and more stable and slightly lighter

@@ChasetheWildNZ how do you find the javelin bipod?

@callumdunn6070 I'd steer clear of the super light weight stuff. They lack stability for consistent performance. Also the quick release spigot has a lot of slack in it. A quick release pic rail work well

Cheers

I will endeavor to walk up mountains with no pain
