    Because NZ is a great place to bring up kids. Safe with top education. I have lived in many different countries and realize how lucky we are here. Apart from the natural beauty and low population and freedom to hunt all year around for deer, fly fishing that is some of best in the world. Freedom to know that you don't need a firearm for self defense.

    There is also 4 weeks annual leave which you are strongly encouraged to take. Pregnant women are looked after and get paid maternity leave once you have NZ permanent residency, childbirth is free. Pharmacy prescriptions are free for young kids and are $5 for adults.

    Family life is encouraged all the way. It's not work, work till you're burnt out. If you want to be an entrepreneur, then you'll get help for that too.

    I am sorry I cant agree with Jakewire and his 6.5 calibers - some of those are extremely rare in NZ and will need to be handloaded -especially 6.5 Grendell 6.5- 06 6.5 PRC will not be available in country sports stores -given current ammo shortages is one going to be able to get even components at all - no stick to either 7mm Mag or 30-06 , a .223 . a .22 and a shotgun do everything and ammo available all over nz
