Thread: Favorite .308 rifle?

I suspect @Joe_Bob_Briggs may be trolling us. In case you genuinely don't know, those semi-auto centrefires have all recently been declared to be prohibited firearms in NZ by order of Council. As a community of firearms owners that are law abiding and responsible, we are a bit tender from the heavy handed treatment dished out by the government. So, thank you for reminding us.

First two posts feature prominent semi-auto pix. Trolling for sure.

Is it against the rules to post pictures of semi-auto firearms?

The rifle above the PTR91 in my OP is a FR8, a bolt action 7.62x51 rifle. There are plenty of bolt action .308s out there.

Nope, but you are reminding us of a recent loss.

Isn't this a hunting/shooting forum? Where is Southland?

Yes it's hunting/shooting. Southland is at the bottom of NZ.

Southland barely exists in the minds of most NZ'ders. You could forgive somebody overseas for wondering what the hell it is.

For those who don't know; it's a frozen wasteland, devoid of any game animals. It's a bit like North Korea - segregated from the rest of the world - and ruled by a dictator (who happens to be a polar bear).

Southlanders subsist on a strict diet of Speights (type of beer - I imagine similar in taste to sewer water in Dallas?) and oysters.

And it's got its' own form of dress code (akin to the situation in the Middle East), but instead of headscarves, all men are required to wear skirts, or else they are deported to Auckland as a form of punishment.
