    Was NZ4WD Magazine.

It's a pretty clever piece of machinery. Twice in the past two months I've taken it well beyond where the local farmer thought we'd be able to get it.

    One thing I don't like about it though - it attracts the scumbags. Had about 10K worth of hunting gear stolen out of the back tray and the LED Light Bar pinched whilst it was parked up in Canterbury recently.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I look forward to meeting you one day Rushy even if it is only to adjust your taste in beer and trucks.😆

    Hell, if you owned a .270 you would have enough to place "coded" gay personal ad in the paper.😆

    Really, umm, I have a .270. Had two at one stage a while back. Will be my pleasure to meet up one day.

    I didn't think there were any criminals in the South Island. You have been the victim of SI wealth redistribution.
