I wrote an article for the deceased guns and hunting magazine comparing both 7.62x39 and 223 in bolt actions, a Ruger ranch and Howa mini. The x39 is a clear winner in the energy stakes at all...

By far the best magazine ever produced in NZ. Victims of shit circumstances. Been through same shit with them. Would be awesome to see the same editorial staff and same writers re-invent somehow....

Hi all Sometimes we are quick to complain or condemn, and sometimes we are slow to give credit where it is deserved. I have a Brno 600 that needed to be bedded and I rang Allen Carr in Paraparaumu...
