    Many choices indeed and as you can see youll never get a straight pick on here!!!so make up your mind in secret then buy it then post it in new toys and everyone will tell you "great rifle mate you picked well"

    Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS
    Model 70 Extreme Weather SS, Ultimate wet weather Bolt Action Deer Elk Big Game Rifle hunting whitetail mule -- Winchester Repeating Arms -- Product Model

    Not sure if these are available in NZ but I got to lay me hands on one in a store the other day.

    Now trying to talk myself out of buying yet another rifle !

    I have a couple of Sako A7's SS - on sale over here for $750 - but with a McMillan stock for $550 that is starting to add up - and you still are stuck with the A7 synthetic trigger guard and magazine.

    The Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS looks to be a complete package right out of the box.

    Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

    +1, good call!

    Howa 1500 6.5x55 Swedish Barrel Action | Trade Me

    Get this, a boyds stock, timney trigger (although the trigger on my new howa is almost as good as my timney), go to town on it!
