Hey. I have been asked to do some homework on a Jongmans rifle for a mate. They are kiwi built? I don't know where to start as I'm unaware even if they were made in different action sizes or anything else.
Are they any good? I will see if I can get more detail as I know I'm a bit vague.
Jongmans were kiwi built and good quality usually with fantastic wood and octagon barrels he has since set up in aussie. There is a mint 223 in tauranga h&f atm.
I think @Homer the aussie knows what he's up to.
They are beautiful rifles and were made in Hikutaia near Paeroa. In fact I know a man who worked there, mainly doing the stockwork. I have an article from a Rod and rifle magazine from years ago if you would like a copy..Contact me and I will give you the phone number of the man who worked there.
He was my local gunsmith and from memory Nor West has one in the safe
Yep I have one :thumbsup:
They made left hand ones too. Drolled over them but could never afford one when they were around. Beautiful wood but pretty heavy from what I remember.
