    newbie

    Hi Guys

    I'm new to guns, just got my license and own a browning 308 and recently purchased tikka t1x competition .22

    Tikka gave loading issues since purchased and that is what got me to sign up here

    Gidday,

    If the Tikka is brand new, take it straight back to the retailer. If not, just ask around here. Someone will have had the same issue. And fixed it.

    Hey I’m doing the polite thing and introducing myself.
    Have been around guns for years. Mainly shotguns and .22. When my ‘little red book licence’ ran out I never renewed ( as I’d sold my firearms ). The firearm I regret selling the most was a Winchester lever action .22 with a maple wood stock. That was a beautiful piece of art! Currently have a Ruger .22 with a silencer, and it’s perfect, and Turkish branded under/over shortened shotgun with a laser sight.
    I have a deer farm north of Auckland. Mainly use firearms for pest control - rabbits, possums, magpies, feral cats, plus the odd euthanasia of an injured or very sick deer. Cyclone Gabrielle hit us bad and I needed to put down 10% of my deer herd that had panicked during the night and injured themselves, which I felt terrible about.
    Really into native bird repopulation and so far have seen a huge increase of Ruru ( morepork ), Kererū ( bush pigeon ) and really excited to have a breeding pair of Australasian Bittern ( highly endangered maybe 300 left ) on our farm.
    So a firearm has been absolutely necessary to assist native birds getting a foothold in the natural environment again.
    Anyway, that’s me.

    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
