Saw a dude in a Palmerston north gun shop over 20 years ago talking to an older gentlemen about a sako finnwolf that he had brought in to possibly sell.
It was all about how it wasn't worth much because kiwis don't like lever actions and they are too noisy to operate in the bush etc. He was sort of correct but still thought he was doing the used car sales pitch to bring the price down
I wasn't that far away and it looked in pretty tidy order. You know the type-bought years ago by a farmer with a bit of coin from the wool cheque but shot bugger all and put away.
I cant remember how much he was offering but I do recall thinking it was very cheap especially being a Sako, and if i'd had the money I would've offered him what the gun shop was.
My other thought was to go over and tell him how much gobshite the dude was saying but thought better of it lol
