    I love that gun. Right from the first time I picked it up as a kid of about 8.
    It's such a please to shoot. bigger than a .22 but about the same kick.
    Learn't more about this gun since P38 Pete identified the sight than I've found out in all these years.
    Now I need to find a supply of jacketed projectiles. Currently using lead slugs from a mold I made at ATI when I was a student there 35 years ago. Used lead from tyre weights as that was described back then as the best alloy to use.

    Haven't used anything much lately, Not worried about hunting, got that out of my system years ago, still love target shooting for fun though but finding anywhere near Auckland now is really difficult.

    Funny as teenagers we used to ride around most weekends on our motorcycles with rifles slung over our backs off to cull goats or shoot opossums etc. Trading 10 rabbit tails at the Te Kuiti council for 303 rounds which were useless to us until they changed and started giving .22ammo. cutting hare tails in half to make two rabbit tails and hopping the girl didn't take them out and check/count them.
    Doubt you'd get twenty yards down the road before being arrested nowadays.
    Got stopped by the cops (SIS I think it was) walking through downtown Auckland 35 years ago with a rifle. Asked why I had it and then let me carry on. Wouldn't even get asked nowadays I'd think. Just get surrounded by armed police. (quite rightly too!) but it shows how times have changed.
