    Hello from Finland

    Greetings from Finland!

    My wife and I spent our honeymoon in early 2012 travelling around New Zealand. I developed a fascination with New Zealand: Beautiful country and people have this practical common sense attitude, which is a diminishing global resource. And I also envy the way how New Zealandīs neighboring countries are located (when compared to Finland).

    Iīm a hunter, reservist, practical shooter and also an aircraft enthusiast (Your Air Force museum in Christchurch is excellent!). My latest nemesis is the AR-rifle, which has led me to endless tuning and purchasing of accessories...

    Welcome to the forum Gary. Glad you enjoyed our country while you were here and hope you enjoy the forum.
    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

    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    Moi!

    Love Finland. Was there 11 years ago to watch the Rally.






    Welcome to the forum. As for my nemesis, I'm just starting my collection of Sakos.





    I hope to visit again, as friends of mine live in Helsinki still.
