Thread: Which 4 guns do I need in NZ?

Yes if you have a 7mm RM you like then I can't see any point in the 308 or 30-06.
22rf, Shotgun make sense. A 223 is a good choice for a volume shooter, easy on the body, accurate and cheap.

7mm RM kind of covers all NZ big game and longer range target shooting.

Other considerations for Kid's then 223, (or 6mm or 6,5 243, 260 or the CM twins if you are moving bigger than fallow deer)

What about a fun gun, say a 16-20" barrel lever action in a 30,35,38 or even 44 Cal, Handy in the thick bush where you can't get a 24" barrelled 7mm Rm on target but still OK for a 200 mtr shot at a slip face.

As noted above a little single shot take down to go in the fishing pack would be good value. Won't fire many rounds but will do some miles.

NB Our one restriction we do have is that Shot gun's, rimfire and 17/22 Hornets are not allowed in DOC land except by special permit. Minimum requirement is a 222.
