    375 Ruger had it for a few months now, a whole lotta grunt in a small package. Haven't had the chance to take a deer with it but the two goats I shot last week had a really bad day.

    I like that a lot
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Tahr I respect your viewpoint - it is a noble desire to want peace. I think we all do.

    Peace as a concept, does not exist. It is temporary. Peace doesn't come naturally - it is enforced, one of my favourite sayings is "Si vis pacem, para bellum (If you desire peace, prepare for war).

    Accordingly one should the need arise, be prepared to defend themselves and their peers from the next disruption of peace.

    New Zealand is very lucky in that it is the most geographically isolated country of any significance on earth. Untouched by any war except domestic conflicts. Any country wanting to conquer New Zealand would need to project and sustain forces over large distances - and control Australia first.

    It won't last forever. In a world of depleting resources and expanding population growth and requirements for resources, New Zealand will be, I feel - the last untapped resource. I think a sense of preparedness would hold us in good stead.

And prejudiced me against some of the stuff that's being talked about here. Those are my grounds to comment.
    I am not a combatant nor need to be, because I live in NZ. If called to, I'm too old now in any event. I have in the main dedicated my life to peace building, and that is my profession. I teach it, and do it.

    While I agree the
    Forum seems to taken the turn for the worst lately with all this body armour and Bullshit getting posted.
    Tahr has some very valid points.
    Go join snipers hide if that's your thing.
    We hunt animals and shoot targets.
    Let's keep this place tidy for those rainy days.

    I didn't mean to direct it solely at those two, it's just I could only see those two names at the top of the page.

    I agree with your observations.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
