    Not sure what I'll be getting here... Yet to go through the NZ firearm application process. I owned everything from .22 to .375. Being a big bore fan, I am leaning toward 338lapua (I know it is heavy, but so was my 375h&h, which was my go to rifle for most hunts), but a sensible .308win will definitely be in the mix as well.

    What are your recommendations?
