Ah well, that makes it easy.

Speak to @steven about service rifle out at Kaitoke

Join me for NRA fullbore at Trentham, I will introduce you to one of the top smallbore coaches in the country if you want to give that a go

And @kiwi39 is the range officer / general dogsbody at Kapiti NZDA

im in christchurch, so not ideal, lol.
if it was fullbore you were after id go to one of the wellington clubs, have a chat to them. then buy a 308 omark, the're around $500 these days it seems. then just get out shooting it learn the wind. can buy dyer projectiles for around the $500 mark per 1000. so loading for under $1 a round with primers and powder. then your big decision is scope. i bought a fx3 12 power leupold scope for around $1000 and used that for three years before i upgraded and i still think about changing back to it because it was so good, can shoot it out to 1000yds if you like no matter what people tell you. i used exactly what i wrote there and that could place you pretty high in a f class comp if your shooting is up to it. (especially ones that stop around the 700 or 800 yd mark)

I spoke to someone from Trentham on Monday, and I'm heading down there on Saturday to have a wee go.

Hope to see you down there on Saturday or sometime soon.

My name is Lee. Pleased to meet you ebf, whats your name buddy?

I will be there shooting my No4 303 as well, assuming Im over the damn flu by then....
