My son who's a cop in Akl suggested I post this notification.
An SSR .338 Lapua has been stolen in Ashburton.
Serial number SSR007
Obviously best to ring the cops if you run across it

Farrrrrk not nice in the wrong hands . Mind you they would shit themselves if they cut that down and fire it first time without ear protection .
Probably a far less risk than something they can easily get ammo for.
They probably will see the cost of ammo and it will go straight on trademe
Nah, the stolen stuff goes on those crappy Facebook 'for sale' pages.Quote:

Shit, that must have been james bond rifle with a number like that :
Secret Service Rifle 007 !
:-)
assshole burglers....... hope they do try to fire it and shoot themselves in the foot or something......yip busted eardrums and bruised shoulder would be fitting...or maybe cut down to pistol and Bubba got a faaarked wrist...low life scum, sure hope they get caught.
Will keep my eye out for a SSR .338 on the FB page
There were another couple of rareish guns that were stolen recently.
One was a H&K MR308 and the other was a Rem m700 in some fancy boom whizz calibre and stock, had a NF scope. I'll have a look when I get back to work. Stolen from somewhere in Auckland if I recall correctly.
Shhhhh, trying to expand my safe......Quote:

What's a middle of the range Nightforce worth second hand? Easy money, plus they don't have to worry about being caught with a firearm and facing a separate charge for that.Quote:

/endrant
Id suspect the .338 will be presently used as an object to verbally wank over in front of the not too bright antisocial bros,and after a coupla tokes start planning arnie style drive bys or suchlike.
One sincerely hopes karma is particualry hungry when this clown gets the arse bite!
Wonder if they'll simply get a warning , slap on the wrist and told to apply for a licence?
Unlikely but a very real possibility that the thief stole it knowing full well what it is and how to feed and use it or more likely stole to order for someone who does.
There is more than a slim chance your bang on the money VC
Yea it is shit that we have to think that way but we have to think that way....Quote:
