Thanks very much Russian22. Quite sad really. Now I know.
I had tried a google search but cant have used the right words.

A friend and I left the Atiwhakatu hut one morning about 1972-3 to go over the Pinnacle ridge and own into the Waingawa. About an hour into the climb, We stumbled on a small white wooden cross. On it...

87sp Hornady on 40grns of win 760. Muzzle velocity 3000fps.

Get a bipod. On sheep grazed areas, the grass is going to short. In bad rabbit areas with high numbers, the grass is going to be short.
You will surprise you're self with longer shots with the bipod...

Yes, I had a Margolin many years ago. To tame a bit of muzzle jump I put a weight underneath the barrel. It made a huge difference.

My old man bought a Baikal sxs 12g from King and Henry, Masterton in early seventies. Had to let the ducks get away a bit further before firing as they weren't worth picking up. Choke gauge wouldn't...

Yes vertical strings tend to indicate barrel touching forearm trouble. Even where the front rest bag is placed. Ruger No1’s can be affected more than most by this.

Put in back seat and told to stay. She just looked out the window.
I had a spare set of muffs so I removed top rigid headband and replaced it the elastic top and bottom. Stayed on for the...

Yes 2k. As I said, without an Australian FA license no touch. I would see it in NZ at customs with the import paperwork.

I went through this a while ago when based up the east coast. A loverly Mannlicher Schonauer 308 in Townsville. Because I did not have an Australian Firearm license I could not touch it. I had to...

A retired Helicopter pilot who is off shore atm whose FAL has just expired has asked me to move on some of his surplus stock.
Federal solid slugs and Royal buck buck shot.
No idea of what these...

I think most jokers working for FS would have taken offence in being labelled a townie.

Thanks Bluebaiter, most of us did.

My first rifle. 1972. Same set up. Still have it but scrubbed the vanish off it way back. Several scopes later but original mag, shoots well. Always did. 1000’s of rounds through still good. About...

Well, a fluke of sorts. Mate and I walking up a track to a small flat terrace with a few rabbits on it. Both had single shot 22’s at the time.
Come up to shooting level and both shot. Got mine he...

Do you know the brass history ? How many times fired ? They may be fire hardened and need annealing.

I’m in the same boat. Ocular lens screwed out to last few threads for focus. Just squeaking in at the moment.
Been looking for a fix and found this. Pushes onto ocular end and if does what it say...

Not that pic, earlier one of sleeve.

I run a 007a on three rifles too. I’ve got a 48mm adaptor and use different thickness’s of alkathene pipe as sleeves. just like the pic above. Works well.

You could head down to your local range and find out first hand what is good for you. Introduce yourself and talk to the guys there. You may even get a chance to shoot some of the rifles.

Just dragged mine out of the safe. Its been too long. Getting it threaded for a suppressor.
Cheap to run with the similar load above. 12.5 and 40 vmax.
Can be fussy to reload with thin necks....

Geez bluebaiter222, you were a late starter. Halogen and led. How many old farts carted 12v batteries in sacks in packs ? And buggered lotsa sets of overalls due to battery acid leaks.
Used to start...

Well, thats the second one, I picked up the first 25 years ago laying in a heap of road gravel on the side of the road between Reefton and Inangahua. Swede 6.5 complete. Plods got that one too.

I sent a scope away for repairs in December, NZ Post had to read the rules, re handling. They did handle it.
No import / export papers done. Asked scope company not to use certain words on return...

That same shop in Marton set me off on the 222 road, 100 rounds of Winchester Western and a Savage bolt action with side mounted scope.
Rifle long ago traded but still reload those cases. 222 my go...
