Here's a short film of some Chamois/Tahr hunting in South Westland, New Zealand. Enjoy!

Care to tell us about the rifle, scope, suppressor, and what ammo was used...  range to target...  It appears to be very effective.

I'm using a Blaser R8 in 6.5x55SE with a 20 inch barrel and a DPT (Nz made) reflex-type suppressor that weighs 260gms. My scope is a Schmidt and Bender 3-12x50 PMII (.1mil, P4F reticle) and I am using handloads with 140gr Amax over 47.5gr H4350 in Norma brass with CCI200, .010" off the lands, muzzle velocity of 2745fps (ES19). The Chamois was shot at 260 meters and the bull tahr at around 180 meters. I haven't had an animal take a single step once hit with this load, it's extremely effective.

Beautiful.

Looks like some steep terrain to be packing them out of though.

Nice rig!  Love the 6.5 Swede.  260g = 9.1712 oz.  I thought my YHM Phantom T1 at 15 oz was light!
