Thread: Need some suggestions fella on a special gift/family heirloom firearm...what would yo

So I have been asked to find a nice firearm for a mate for a special gift. Something he can have forever, obviously use, and pass down to kids.

Could be a shotgun or rifle. Has to be new, and easily obtainable here in NZ, at short notice. Budget is up to $7k.

I was thinking maybe a Sako Bavarian in .222 or 6.5x55 topped with a Swarovski scope. Something he can take on afternoon hunts. Soft shooting for kids ... when he finally has some

I did think Blaser, but then he’d have to buy optics to match - the rifle would soak up most of that budget.

The other thought was a nice under and over, he does like bird shooting , doesn’t do a hell of a lot of it, but has mentioned in occasion he’d like an under and over.

Thoughts and suggestions guys??
