    personally I would never think of dropping that sort of money at gun City. My local store is basically a bunch of sales reps who have limited knowledge of what they are dealing with.
    I've corrected them than once on things.
    Start looking at smaller gun shops where they do smithing. They can offer some supprisingly good deals on refurbished rifles of good quality. Tend to know what they are on about and have tested the stuff they work on. Some have good import contacts and can bring in great guns at good prices.
    my view though. each to their own.

    In the entirety of Northland, we only have H&F branches.

    nothing wrong with tikka if you want a light workhorse I cant see the benifit of spending big money on them, plenty of sakos on trademe for less than what they are asking including a pretty nice 308 s20

    kimbers pop up all the time and dont tend to sell, patience is the key. Id have more if I had more disposable income but Iv passed on at least 5 montanas under 2k this year alone

    the other thing is theres a lot of eyes here looking if you have got in mind what you want just make it known and someone will give you a quiet PM clueing you into where one is
