    what's the action for. Alpine hunting, general hunting, F class, bench. Locally you can buy a NZ made bolt action that's as good as most imports, Barnard, Hardy plus I'm sure there are others....

    in my mind 17 all the way for pests up to Hares, but if goats are on the menu then 22WMR. It will give you an extra 40 mtr over the 22 if you are working on plus / minus 1.5" for rabbits. 17...
