Thread: Visiting American needs some advice

Thanks all for the replies.
Im looking to bring it back to US when i leave so selling it or borrowing one isnt really one of m options yet, except for the supprssor which i wont be able to bring back.
I figure the bull barrel on the BSA will be a bit heavy but the rifle weighs about the same as my sporter Arisaka back home and is shorter to boot. My budget is a little flexible but I wouldnt want to go over 1000 with a suppressor. Also only looking in the Christchurch area as I dont have a car.
Right now im thinking go with the BSA just because the barrel is newer and the two-tone look is something I dont have in a rifle.
Plus im planning on taking some other international students out to shoot as most of them have never fired a gun and they need some education in gun safety and the shooting sports, some extra weight to the gun might prevent them getting too recoil shy.

And I have a girl back home so any stud action would get me in a bit of trouble
