About LinkBacksHi all,
Am just in the final stage of my firearms license application. Looking to purchase a rifle... 308? 270? will be used for deer hunting. Speaking of which, am new to that too. Keen to get out amongst the Christchurch Canterbury area if anyone has any tips?
Be keen to tag along with some experienced hunters. Decent fitness, low experience high shit talk.
Have been browsing the dealers an looks like the Tikka T3s are the safe bet? Looking for something in left handed if anyone has anything up for sale?
Cheers!

Welcome aboard
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

welcome, 308 or 270 will fit the bill (among many others) but take a look at howa too.

A tikka T3 is a great choice, stainless, well built and you can neglect them a fair bit and they just keep going.
A quality rifle at a good price.Shearer likes this.A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time
