Yes jack but don't forget we export those same sheep for you Aussies to eat.

No RODSTA I am the odd one out. I have never owned a 308 but read nothing into that as it is the greatest calibre ever created. Just ask VC.

Ponsonby and the caliber was always 7mm08, was passionately named the ponsonby latte sippers rifle a few years back because damn near every hunter located in ponsonby owned a tikka T3 :D

I don't have a Tikka and I don't have a 7-08. Does that make me a regular Kiwi?

What!...you are buying a sheep?

I've got one and my next rifle will be another one, they are great.

Look around though, as most gun stores seem to be doing deals on them.
Hunting and fishing had a really good deal the middle of this year.
Make sure what ever deal you get has a decent scope with it, Burris seems to be common and a very good low end scope.

I'd go to the local HnF and see what they can do, don't be afraid to haggle.

dont

If ya want a Savage don't get the Axis.

are they crap?

This threads going to drag on:D

I have 4 of them, they shoot better than me. Have 2 of them fitted with Bell & Carlson stocks.

Get a tikka. I've got 2, 223 for varmints and 243 for deer.

Cant beat them for entry level simplicity.

My advice would be ONLY get a package desk if its got a decent scope on it.

You're going to end up buying a good scope anyway, so may as well spend the $$ up front rather than having to replace something crap.

The other thing I would say is try and test fire to chose your calibre.

If you're ever in Wellington you're welcome to come to mine and put some rounds thru either of mine

thanks tim =] im looking at a 308 or 7mm08 (leaning more towards the 308) its hard finding 1 for a good price haha so thats y im thinking a package deal to get me started in the bush and then i can go from there
