Sounds like a fantastic hunt Barnard and you didnt need to fly to NZ to get that 14 pointer :thumbsup:

very possible for push feed actions, with the control round feed action you have to eject the case before you can pick up the next
the reason why dangerous game shooters want the control round feed

"you didnt need to fly to NZ to get that 14 pointer"

there are a few 14 or more pointers getting around here in Vic Bill, l have seen them as well as know a few farmers with the trophies on their walls
what l have seen is that once these guys get a really good one they dont chase the stags any more and its kept quiet when a good one is around

Yeah marksman they certainly are around, rarely seen, Ive got access to some prime Red country just the otherside of the sandstone range. Hinds are thick as but the Stags are super slippery.

this is the old boy on the block, going backward with his youth well behind, got pics of his offspring too, both showing ridiculous potential too :drinks:
