    gadgetman liked post by Beetroot On thread : Tikka vs Remington vs Savage
    Americans seem to love there Savages, but there seems to be a following here too. Seem's to be some very cheap Varmint type Savages on Trademe pretty often, if one in 204 Ruger comes up I think I...

    Wish I could claim it wasn't me, but doubt that'l work. I don't think I could get in trouble for being dangerous, but you can still get a fine for up to $3000 for being annoying, but due to having...

    I can't imagine how you would do it. All my cleaning rods have a handle that would be very obviously sticking out the muzzle. But I have read of American gun forums I can only think that it's...

    I have had bad experiences with Guncity in Auckland and Christchurch, but I placed an online/phone order with a lady in Christchurch and she was very helpful and easy to deal with. So she restored...

    What is your definition of long range would be my first question? If it was up too 150m with the odd 200m shot then I'd say 17hmr. No messing around reloading, and they really aren't that...

    veitnamcam liked post by Beetroot On thread : first rifle
    A second hand Tikka in 7mm 08 or 308 is what I'd suggest. Although, 243, 270, 6.5x55, 3006 would all do you well. Should be able to find a good price on one with a Burris Fullfield II/2, which would...

    I've always wanted to learn how to fly fish/freshwater fish, having recently lived in Canterbury has reinforced this. But as I live in the Waikato, I don't know anyone who's into it. I've hardly...

    There's no reason to think 223 is too big for small pests. Too get out too those ranges your going to be pushing the limits of a 22-250, and into 243 territory. Both which are bigger than 223. 22-250...
