The M16A1 clone is relatively new. Still haven't taken it to the range to shoot.

Another somewhat recent pickup. Haven’t shot this one either but finding 6.5 Jap locally is impossible. Need to order some online I guess.

Nice. I have a 110BA in 300WinMag. Savage make good rifles in my view. You will find that will be running out of legs at a kilometre but there is a lot of fun to be had regardless.

Going to buy a custom turret for it and @stug isn’t far away from making it a new lighter stock.
The Spartan bipod wears a new pod-loc type locking nut which is a big improvement over the old thumb screw. Vertibrae.no supplied both this and a flush mount for the new stock. Superior service from these guys.
Damn man. Bloody nice setupQuote:

Back to the fugly but comfy laminate for being less scary.
Yes I did accidentally order high Z Signature rings. I’m a muppet.
Scope is a place holder until a get something sexier.
It’s a tack driver with 2 of my 3 factory mags. The other is a jammimatic. :yuush:

Got my hands on a second hand Tikka t1x, just to see how well it would shoot.
This is using CCI segmented subs, and it definitely seems to like them.
Happily it slid into my stug stock, and the area 419 rail off a cz455 fitted as well. Excuse all of the duct tape and foam - I'll make a check rest for it when I get some spare time.

Nice. I love my T1x.
A bargainous way to go lightweight for long walks... would have preferred the wooden version but the price was too good to say no and stainless is practical.
Savage Mod.16 Lightweight Hunter in 308, once I chuck a scope on (and probably shorten it with a DPT can) I'll find out how it shoots. If its anything like my other Savages I won't have any complaints. Plus the spiral fluted bolt is kinda pretty.

If you don't like it let me know. I brought one from Boar freak (https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....45-70-a-49562/).Quote:

Brought it for my missus. However I took it out in the weekend and dragged it through some shitty scrub to do a bit of goat hunting. Beauty, short, light weight little rifle and superb shooting.
Only problem is I might have to find the missus another rifle... I'm rather fond of it... I would honestly have another just so I can carry one as well when we hunt together - which is more often than not.
A bit like putting lip stick on a pig.:thumbsup:Quote:

If there was a Savage dealer in NZ that had the full range and sold them close to what the yanks get them for... I'd have 10. Or maybe 11. And 30 barrels.
They do take a wee bit of work to sort out initially, can be a bit rough around the edges, but they are the most customisable, do-it-yourself, ragged hole shooters you can get.
My cuzzies' workshop is like a Savage factory, there's that many bits and pieces. They build up rifles with factory parts in a morning, sort out a load after lunch, go hunting. Love the modularity of the stocks, actions and the DIY barrel change tool. So easy.
Annoys me that they are so expensive over here, for what they are.
Question. If I were ever to travel to NZ for some varminting, what category of license would I need for my new build?
Here she is. STAG10 18.7" Barrel, 6.5 Creedmoor, 1/8 ROT, IBI Barrels Heavy Barrel, Air gauged.

In Canada, the AR15 is restricted, but the AR10 is not.
With the Current Stalinda issues would this be prohibited to bring in country to shoot varmints?
It's banned here. I doubt you will get an exemption as a visitor. Just bring a manual action.Quote:

No gun snobbery intended.
Depends what you compare them to I guess - the package deals are good value, you can often get the Mod.16 'trophy hunter' package with a Weaver 3-9x40 for $1k which I'd take over a Howa+Nikko Stirling package for the same price without a moments hesitation. Seem to be sharper bare rifle deals on Howa though if you don't mind the wobbly hogue stock (unless they improved them now? I haven't used a recent one, only older 1500s and always found them heavy and clunky).Quote:

Compared to a Tikka T3 a Savage for a few hundred less is a bargain to me - having tried both the only thing I can remember being better with Tikka was their synthetic stocks are a bit stiffer and much better finished cosmetically. The Savage had a crisper trigger, smoother action, better ergonomics with 3-stage tang safety and flush mag, better accuracy in that case but I know Tikkas are generally accurate too.
I've also used Savages back to back with Rem700s and again, found the Savages better at pretty much everything.
Personal preference/feel is always a factor of course and some people just won't find them a good fit. I like them anyway!
Their more specialised versions (long range hunter etc) do seem to have a big price jump though considering they use the same action etc. Maybe because they don't bring many in? I've always thought the main reason they aren't more popular here is just lack of marketing - the big gun shops mostly push Tikka and Howa really hard and forget about the rest.
It was interesting to have a look around a gun shop in Canada last year and see Savages outnumbering most other brands on their racks 2:1, and not much cheaper than our prices once you take taxes into account.
Yeah mate... they have come a long way.. years ago they had a rep as shit firearms.... not anymore ,I have several and have no issues at all

That's good advice @Gravel Ben. I had a trawl through my email to try and remember why I thought they were overpriced here, and bow remember the impression was created by my efforts to import a Varmint Low Profile in .22-250 1:9" twist. That was through Sportways, the NZ wholesaler.
It was my cuz who was encouraging me to get one, but he'd told me what he could get it for... and I just about choked when I got the Sportways price. Just the way it is over here. I didn't go ahead with it.
But yeah you're right, had a good look at the local selection and it is better than I thought.
@buzzman that looks like a keeper mate....;) Some more details please, barrel length? 1:8?
yip yip 1:8 bartlein 20" like my shorter guns with ken Henderson stockQuote:
