  An overview of an awesome Sako Carbonlight / Swaro Scope setup…
  
  The Sako Carbonlight remains one of my favourite lightweight factory guns. It's build quality is phenomenal, its function sublime. While I get to setup and shoot a vast array of firearms, I am always happy to see a Sako turn up, because, with the right ammo, it is going to shoot! This 6.5 Creedmoor was no exception.

  A quick sojourn out into the bush with a new hunter – I managed to get out for a hunt!
  
  Yes. I know, I was surprised myself! I managed to get out for a couple of days - taking a new hunter out with me for his first experience in the backcountry as well.

  A trip to the top of the Coromandel
  
  To me, the true Coromandel is only reached once you have passed through, well, Coromandel - actually - even higher - with Colville (northernmost town of any note on the peninsula) representing a homecoming of sorts.

  The ARB 4×4 Track Pack
  
  I liked the idea of externally storing the smelly stuff. In addition, the ARB design gives you a few extra pockets for storing stuff that you often need when working on or around the outside of the truck. In my case, the obligatory Morley's on one side, some rubbish bags and window wiper fluid on the other, and a couple of levelling blocks in the side.

  Raglan via the back roads!
  
  It was time to head away on another mini-adventure. While not necessarily looking for narly trails, I did want to at least get off tar-seal. So, after a bit of research online, I decided on a trip down to Raglan via Port Waikato.
