    I once hired one from Robbie Tiffen ( gunworks) due to not wanting to bring gun on the plane. Recoil pad was a bit manky but it was a sako 270 rebarreled to 338lapua - obviously a technical project challenge he once set himself. 10x S&B scope where everything was a blur closer than 100m. Paid for ammo less than it would cost to reload. He had a couple of others for hire also top quality guns. But it never really took off and i havent heard if anyone else doing it since. Perhaps legal “risk” would make a lot shy away now. Robbie trained as a lawyer before he was a gunsmith.

    The idea of buying and setting up a new (old) gun before Matariki is a bit of a stretch for a new shooter on his/her own.
