So after a lot of phone calls around the country, actually finding something we liked at short notice was more of a challenge that you'd think. Unavailable models we wanted, long lead times,...

Don't have time up our sleeve unfortunately, otherwise that would be a option we'd have looked into more. :)

I will give Alan a call though. Thanks

Yeah maybe. Not for this exercise though :)

Yeah that is nice.

Nah he needs more than two shots normally! :yaeh am not durnk: And I only have a week to coordinate this all now, so unfortunately something a bit more available needs to be decided on.

Got to have some sort of traditional feel to it mate. May even go whole hog and find some beige stubbies and an old blue/black checkered swanni :thumbsup:

He's a shit shot anyway :yaeh am not durnk:

Looking at a deluxe now instead, it's a bit more shiny.

What condition?

Have seen and shot a couple. Hadn't seen that thread mate, cheers.

Yeah, this is a special gift for a special reason. He's got several other day to day hunting rifles for our normal trips- 223, 270, 7 remmag...doesn't have kids (yet). :)

He's got plenty of rifles to take out everyday :D . This would be something that only gets taken out occasionally.

Ok. What's your suggestion?

So been down to the local, getting a price on a nice walnut stocked Sako Bavarian 6.5x55 with a Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 P BT L mounted. Nice gun bag, leather strap, ammo.

Are there any other...

Don't have time mate, otherwise would look custom.

Sh*t why didn't I think of that. Its a classic :thumbsup:


Don't intend on threading the rifle, if he wants to ruin it he can later.


And PaulNZ great point. I don't know how much he'd use...

Yeah I was thinking .223 as well. Really only thought the .222 for a bit of history’s sake, deer culling days and what not.

6.5x55 would be pretty sweet though?

Swaro? Zeiss? Other??

So I have been asked to find a nice firearm for a mate for a special gift. Something he can have forever, obviously use, and pass down to kids.

Could be a shotgun or rifle. Has to be new, and...
