Already had a Forester 308 which was much more forgiving.

Old USA ad below but NZ prices were probably similar.
I paid £59 17/6 for my Forester. 6 weeks pay at the time.

I saw a couple of those Anschutz .222 being used. Light little rear locking action. On the barrel was stamped "use factory ammunition only". Neat little rifles.
