Yep, that's a Vudoo. Both those rifles have been through a bit of an update since last year now.

Oh, that'll be there too. Just on another stage... 🤣

Hi Jan, Personally and for open class, I would recommend a First Focal Plane (FFP) scope with a modern mil-hash type reticle in it. Magnification wise I would recommend a 4-12x or 3-18x - so something with a good wide field of view at the low end for those really close targets and something with a practical high end magnification for small targets at distances out to 200m. The scope should have a usable internal adjustment of about 13MIL or 40MOA to be able to easily adjust from a 50m zero right out to 200m. Ideally the scope should have a parallax adjustment right down to 25m. Parallax adjustment down to 50m is ok but you will find at the higher magnifications you will struggle to get the target to focus at the closer distances. That maybe what I recommend but open class can be successfully competed with a 3-9x Second Focal Plane (SFP) scope with a MilDot reticle and a bit of preparation… Hunter class can be competed with a simple fixed 4x scope, a 50m zero and a bit of preparation to work out the holds at different distances…

sgil045 Thank you, this is very helpful information.

Its a 260Rem shooting the 130gr Berger AR Hybrids

Just good position, a light recoiling rifle, and some magazine capacity... ~6000 rounds of practice with this rifle helps as well :)

Yep should be a fun match in May. Got a couple of new stages planned amongst some older favorites!

Thanks! I was out at the property today and i am thinking this stage will be back! :)

To each their own on the 6.5mm calibre options - they also come in 300WinMag and 338Lapua. Also after market barrels can be manufactured for them. Also the shooter will make more difference than the difference between a 6.5mm and a 6mm, or a .308Win. The M10s are a super nice rifle - possibly the nicest setup i have had the pleasure to have a play with. BUT this rifle is not mine - unfortunately i don't have sufficient disposable income to own one of these awesome rifles.

sgil045 thanks!

@@roman_filippov You only need 3 center fire cartridges: 223, 308 and 338lm. Everything else is just being hip

@@tiputipu777 300 win mag is not bad, too

I believe it is an older T3 Terminator design.

Thanks Mac. been a little while in production this video. We are still learning how to get good videos and it is seriously hard to do on the day! Every year the sponsors get behind this event better and better. Bring on 2018!

Cheers very much. I'll have a think about an equipment video. I think i have enough little bits of video to explain a few things about the gear i have and some gear good to get started with.

sgil045 thanks and happy shooting

Thanks Mac, only managed 6 hits though. There was two out of 30 competitors at the last practical match that also managed 6. No one got more than 6 so maybe the time limit is a bit short :)

Hits on the orange target is what they are going for. The white targets a penalty target and hits on that are worth a negative score. This stage tests the competitor's skill and also their confidence. They can choose not to shoot the stage and not risk a negative score at all.

Nope it is a Sako 85 hunter in .243Win. The scope is a Sig Sauer Tango 4 4-16m44 model.

Yep he is using a custom adaptor. i think Finnaccuracy.com have one as well

Thanks beef, Not aware of anyone running a medium range field style events around Auckland other than a couple of very small invitational events... and event then one of them is looking for another property to host as the one they have been using is changing hands. If you want to shoot a course get a couple of mates together and travel to an event! Make a weekend of it!

+sgil045 thanks, yeah awesome channel good to see this happening in NZ. Will have to get some kit and get amongst it.

Thanks Kjell, I have been focused a bit on competing lately and haven't got many photos or much video. Yep, new toys :-)

Kjell Hvamb Tricky when you also see the ricochet impact behind the target... and some spotters do get it wrong! The camera makes spotting look easy!

NZ Arms Act covers the use of firearms. And we have an obligation to take all practicable steps to ensure the safety of competitors - so we do quite a few things to do with that.

Not exactly what i would call long range but very fun all the same! Not knowing the target distances and not allowing range finders tripped up more than a few people. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Yep, still summer down here. And we are extremely lucky to know several very supportive land owners that let us set up and run these event on their property!

Cheers for watching and the comment - i felt i should reply to it though. This was not a formal shoot on a flat, known distance range. We set up the rules to allow competitors as much freedom as possible to do what they want at each of the shooting positions. The competitor at 2:00 minutes kept his firearm pointing in a safe direction at all times, including when he slipped and hence no comment from the "marshall" was warrented.

sgil045 Thanks for the reply. All these events look like good fun and I will be joining the NZDA on return to NZ. The video has the range put up against the targets, did the participants know the range?

thenakinavy Yep, we tell the competitors the target distances during the stage briefing. Some people tunr up without range finders and we did not want to disadvantage them. We do run the occassional event with no range finders and for the hunter (shorter range) events it makes very little difference.

The shooting positions look real challenging. Great vid.
