Edit: Last picture is a bit dark sorry, my phone decided to focus on Wellington instead of the gun. Figures.
@TheWuce looks much better
your very brave @TheWuce - flaunting a gun in plain view of the politburo in Wellington. :thumbsup:

A big thanks to @garyp and a few others on the forum, I have now got my Sako Vixen .222 back to original with period features. The final piece of the puzzle was a scope which Gary dropped off today. A Pecar 4x with Sako rings and iron sights. Very happy :)

Yep, just finished reading Pack & Rifle again which I received for a birthday present in 1973. Phil Holden bought a used BSA .222 from Hamills in Rotorua while working in the Kaiangaroa forest in 1962.
Eventually sold it after losing a succession of deer in the Kawekas to fellow cullerJim Stegman who used it for a while and then on sold it to Bill Nikl. Holden went back to his BSA 7x57
Brno Fox2, my new bunny and fallow zapper, just need to find some lower mounts for my VX3. Wanted one of these for ages
