In 1978 I sold a fairly flashy pony that I'd bred and broken in (all with Dads help) for I think the unprecedented sum of $600. As soon as I went back to boarding school I promptly matched off to Smith and Rainsfords (I think, or were they in Invercargill?) and purchased a brand new Tikka LSA-55 in 308 for $349. Took it back to school on the bus, the house masters used to hold the rifles for the several of us who went hunting!
