    I've got a 1949 BRNO Model 21 that I still use often for hunting deer.

    I'll post a pic when I can.

    Outside the bastardised 303s, I'm not sure there are many bolt action rifles still being regularly used for hunting in NZ that pre WWII vintage. A few 1930's Obendorf Mausers perhaps?

    I’ve got a 1925 type B Mauser oberndorf in 9.3x62. I’ve shot one deer with it. Once I’ve got a deer with my bow I’ll take it out again.
