Nice work Blair. That's some serious scope you got on that rifle, or perhaps it's just the angle of the picture.

It's a VX1 4-12x40, bit of an overkill for bush hunting, open sights would have been overkill at the range I took him at though, under 8m. 
It's got some rubber tubes over the ends to keep rain off the lenses probably makes it look longer and the angle the rifle is on doesn't help? 

That rifle is off to be chopped and suppressed tonight, I might get a 2-7x33 before it comes back. 

Brilliant! But yea I hear what your saying about over kill.  I have a VX1 3-9x40 and shoot deer 5m away with it.

Thankfully the idiots tend to stay fairly close to their cars. I think the rain kept allot of people at home too, I came home on ANZAC day. I don't think many hunters were hunting, they were all sitting beside their cars out of the rain Wacko

I spent almost two weeks in the Kaimanawa FP, rained most of every day, roar action was slow to non-existant. Saw 6 stags and 15 hinds, plus this fella I shot on the last day while looking for a meat animal to take home.

Four days in from Wairata over last weekend. Successful but hardest year in 20+ for us. Was difficult to get them riled and they would just move the hinds away into difficult country. Too much foot and dog traffic over summer in our area making them wary.]]> Wed, 16 Apr 2014 09:32:18 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=100383&PID=1438501&title=roar-reports#1438501 <![CDATA[Roar reports : Well done , 3 x 8 pretty good...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=100383&PID=1438414&title=roar-reports#1438414 Author: tjm
