Keep it simple. A T3, Rem 700 or similar in .308, .7mm08 cut to 16-18 inches with a DPT mod and a 1-6 or 3-9 scope. Keep your .270 for tops work and you have all angles covered.

Yeah and Range Managers etc., annual reports to the police amongst other things. Who would want to take on the responsibilites? The likes of Taupo will survive but smaller outfits will just say it's...
