Apparel

Magnum Sports carries close to 1,000 pieces of hunting and shooting clothing with around 575 available today: Hunters Element and Stoney Creek from New Zealand, Spika and Ridgeline for Australian conditions, and Beretta, Blaser and Miroku shooting vests, shirts and caps for the clay and field shooter. Beretta, Spika, Ridgeline and Hunters Element are the deepest ranges on the racks.

Most hunters here build a three-layer system: a merino or synthetic base tee, a fleece or hoodie mid-layer, and a softshell or waterproof jacket over the top, with gaiters and a blaze cap for the bush. Clay shooters look for a vest with a padded shoulder and cartridge pockets that clears the gun mount. Prices run from about $20 for a beanie to $1,300 for a full Blaser jacket, with most jackets between $150 and $300 and pants around $100 to $200.

Clothing carries no licence requirement, ships Australia-wide, and can be tried on in store at Roseville Chase, where staff will match sizing across the New Zealand and European brands, which cut differently.
