    So you want to be my caddie (following me around the bush with a bag full of barrels and a wrench)? I really like that idea.

    What else can you do? What about making sandwiches and cups of tea?

    The trajectory thing is a valid point to consider.

    Cheers.
    Greetings Frodo,
    All sorts of interesting ideas form in the minds of those of us lucky enough to own, use and enjoy firearms. Some fade forever but others return again and again, in some form, unhindered by any decision we may make in our conscious mind. I suspect your Bock drilling idea may be one of the latter. My recurring idea has been single shot rifles, Ruger No 1's in particular. While a Ruger No 1 has not appeared in the cupboard to date a .30-40 Martini and a Bergara break open .308 have and will probably suffice. Enjoy the journey you mind takes you on and please update us from time to time.
    Regards Grandpamac.

    I consider it very versatile. I could shoot a hare. I could shoot an elephant. Ready for any eventuality

    Hay ryan, you shot a deer yet with you new cannon, one of the things I discovered with my first med bore, (9.3x62) was it didn't blood shot and bruise, as much meat. and they tend to be very accurate, at least the two 9.3s and .358 win I have are, three or four shots, one raggered hole at 100m is normal.

    Greetings Frodo,
    I see that Baikal does over and under .223 and 12 gauge over 7.62 x 39, both available in NZ. Thought of getting a 7.62 x 39 single shot and re chambering to .303 Brit at one stage. Likely someone has done it.
    Regards Grandpamac.

    Here is my latest iteration of the pack(able) rifle. Its a TC Encore in 308. The Contenders frame is a bit smaller and lighter but not really suitable for high intensity .473 boltface cartridges. The one is shortened to 21" and as pictured with the Weaver Super Slam 2-8x36 scope (these are very very nice, better I think than the VX3i although a wee bit heavier) and supressor is 3.5 Kgs. It will be going on a further diet once I've shot it a bit more. The main reason I went for an Encore was the trigger, with a spring kit its probly the best single shot trigger out there (short of spending $5K plus).

    Takedown is provided by one of @akaroa1 's developments, its a frame screw, and as you can see its the same length taken down as a walking pole (less than 65 cm)

    Nice try tentman+ ! Just because it breaks down into two bits! its not a combo/ double. I did like your thread on the Valmet.
    Australia was a place for combo's in the 70s! so the thought of a light weight unit comes to mind a few times a year as you know.
    But it's getting harder to shoot what I do have in the safe.

    They aren't that heavy. DOC give out small game permits if asked, and rumor has it that there is more than one path to enlightenment, or way to skin a cat, or something.
    The small game permit was how I got around using a 22 Hornet, the local DOC office has now decided not to issue them, don't know why, office lady said the issuing was at the discretion of the area manager.
