    Thank God for Trade Me...I have dumped some junk on there....303 with bulged barrel (mate used it for walking stick and when those searching for him fired a shot to help locate him, he fired the .303 forgetting about the 200 mm of dirt in barrel}...a semi auto shotty that had been shortened beyond legal limit...a 6.5 that had been stashed under a shed for a couple of years...an M1 that had been lying along side it...are just some of them.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    A bunch of hunting builds that all taught me more about what I actually wanted/needed. While emptying my bank account

    A t3 7mmwsm-wtf a caliber made to make the most of a short action in a long action,marketing gone mad.

    Some old army rifles that could not shoot strait-I'd I'm going to collect it I have to be able to shoot it and have a chance of hitting the target.

    And that brings me to the next, all my c cat stuff-all very cool but just taking up $ and space at the end of the day for me,while tempting me to be a bad boy.

    Nope nada, zip, zero, nothing at all.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    My first rifle, a Lakefield .22 it was such a shitter. Took ages to flick it through the Trade & Exchange, no Tardme back then...
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    Ruger Mini 30, loud before the suppressors went on the market, a pain to clean and 3" groups at 100m.

    Remington 597. Started off incredibly accurate and a smooth shooter, eventually kept FTE despite volquartzen extractor, constant cleaning. Basically a single shot semi

    Thank you TradeMe.

    In the future when I write my memoirs,they will show l will be glad to have sold atleast half of my current collection and disapointed with half the guns I will replace them with. ... but hopefully they won't be as bad as the .22 Norinco BA with an egg shaped barrel I had.

    Baikal single shot 308, and a Remington 7400 308. Both very average.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
