Modern nitro powder big bore’s recoil is a lot more violent (snappier) and more unpleasant than the older BP...

If you can find an alpine mountain rifle they are fully cerakoted, so no, perfect for our conditions[emoji106]

Are you in a hurry to get it?

Go and speak to whoever is running the gun department at H&F (pity Craig isn’t there anymore, he was awesome, brought my rifle in for me and beat all other retailers...

Was that Whangarei H&F?

Just use it mate, got a Nikko mount chief on my Brno model 1 that I did that to when I was a kid (fiddling), put it back on and it hasn’t been a problem since, still going strong 30 years later.

Hey guys

Was wondering if anyone here was doing a trip from Wellington up to Tauranga in the next few weeks?

I have just bought a rifle off TM and looking at getting it from Wellington (Whitby...
