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

If you are confident with it then a .223 will be fine try for neck shots. If your weren't confident then it'd be wiser to wait for the .308 and not wound something

RODSTA I know you want to have your own rifle but don't sweat it if you haven't by the time this trip rolls around. I have one you can borrow. Toby there is already a shit load of us planning to make this trip but you should find a way to get to Rotorua and we can pick you up on the way through.
