    Ultralight Custom Break Action Rifle

    I've got a lightweight g2 contender and you will never get it really light. Not compared to the single shot ar build without going fully custom with handmade components. Ie a custom pencil barrel at minimum length and a carbon handguard system. A custom rear stock which you'd have to make to...

    RokStok

    😄 My user names to do with my Nickname not the Stockys stock company my bad for any confusion. If I was the Kimber would be much higher on the priority list as I have 3 hunters that id like replacement stocks for.

    If say it's very much on the backburner. Probably not worth asking until the 150 days wait time on the OG reduces. It makes no sense financially to chase another product when one you already have up and running its outselling supply.

    Ultralight Custom Break Action Rifle

    Locking mechanism is typically weaker or complex to make. So you either give up performance or cost. Can build bloody light off a Contender. But if you wanted a truly light rifle a barrel locking system such as a Blaser K95 would be best so you can utilize aluminum outside of the locking area.

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    Reticle is not as good as the Maven (to much fine dont need 10 mils of windage marks it would be much better with say 5 mils and and 5-8 for elevation atleast in the clean version) if it passes drop evals i will try get Roksliders onto emailing them about fixing the reticle or atleast adding a...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    The nzd price is the aud price with Gst removed. I didn't pay gst on the last one as I believe customs look at the website and see it says includes gst 😅

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    Just to rub it in to the Americans. I ordered a new one in Mil last night 😆 it feels great for once not to be the ones unable to get things.

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    Interesting it's subtensions on the page appear to have the same reticle thickness as the Maven except the black bars come on closer to the reticle on the USO and the post is lower. I'd have thought being a higher base mag that the USO would be near as visible. Doesn't sounds promising.

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    For sure. I'm going to test the Element Helix at some stage however the reticles Definitely not as useful as the RS1.2 or even the US optics MHR. The last on in the classified sold for like $320 so it's s relatively affordable option to test.

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/us-optics-ts-12x.365471/ If these worked they appear to have a decent reticle and are a fair weight and price. Surely a few people could put in to get one sent to form. Be ideal if we could get some crowd funding for specific high demand scopes. Only takes a...

    Sold US Optics TS-12x

    UM Tikka Bubble Level

    Does it even matter? As long as you level that bubble then level the reticle to that the tiny cant will make little to no measurable difference. Its been awhile but with a scope 2" above bore you would have to be off like 10 degrees to get the scope about 0.36" off centre (around 0.1mil if you...

    Lightweight Scope

    Warranty for purchases from the US often wont be honored by most NZ distributors and return shipping is usually $80NZD each way. Just buy it in NZ unless its not available. Also you might find people on here aren't huge fans of many lightweight optics and a focus on zero retention has been a...

    Mammut Taiss Mid Gtx

    Have you been to NZ? A bare minimum we start a hunt with is 2500 feet of gain to head straight into the alpine. From about June to August there's a good chance I'm carrying crampons (semis not microspikes) and an ice axe. Our issue is year round use and tough country. When you can hit the...

    Mammut Taiss Mid Gtx

    I don't doubt it but having worn out 3 sets of Scarpa Ribelles (both waterproof and inside liner), and 2 sets of Mammut Taiss lights (waterproofing on both and upper on one pair). It was consistent. No doubt it's the same tech but application of it matters it how its attached etc as well as the...

    What to do with the meat foreign hunter in Wyoming, Idaho and Colorado. Need meat cutters and places to donate

    Yes the wording definitely makes it sound worse. I remember the first report you shot a young bull then a nice solid mature bull 👌 you did however follow up by shooting 2 more young bulls that clearly were sub mature (easy to tell after your older bull) because you picked the biggest one in the...

    Mammut Taiss Mid Gtx

    I know an old thread but figured I'd add some info. I've worn out the upper (peeled/chipped rand torn in the fake leather portion, hole in the soft squishy material in the side) on 1 pair in 12 months of NZ south island hunting (probably about 100 odd days) but by about the 4th trip they...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    Yeh I get that but definitely want to test a few scopes I own as well as some other bits and pieces. Happy to risk a scope in controlled conditions like you say. Lots of soft green grass here in NZ. Spend a lot of effort getting into the mountains here chasing "the one" and want to make sure...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    Hey @Formidilosus was going to setup a rifle to do a preliminary drop test on scopes before I break my hunting setups down. Do you have a preferred setup ie chassis, rails and rings etc. Was thinking the rokslide standard 223 etc but wondered if the factory stock would potentially induce a...
