375 Ruger had it for a few months now, a whole lotta grunt in a small package. Haven't had the chance to take a deer with it but the two goats I shot last week had a really bad day.

Tahr I respect your viewpoint - it is a noble desire to want peace. I think we all do.
Peace as a concept, does not exist. It is temporary. Peace doesn't come naturally - it is enforced, one of my favourite sayings is "Si vis pacem, para bellum (If you desire peace, prepare for war).
Accordingly one should the need arise, be prepared to defend themselves and their peers from the next disruption of peace.
New Zealand is very lucky in that it is the most geographically isolated country of any significance on earth. Untouched by any war except domestic conflicts. Any country wanting to conquer New Zealand would need to project and sustain forces over large distances - and control Australia first.
It won't last forever. In a world of depleting resources and expanding population growth and requirements for resources, New Zealand will be, I feel - the last untapped resource. I think a sense of preparedness would hold us in good stead.

Tahr has some very valid points.
Go join snipers hide if that's your thing.
We hunt animals and shoot targets.
Let's keep this place tidy for those rainy days.

I didn't mean to direct it solely at those two, it's just I could only see those two names at the top of the page.
I agree with your observations.
Cease :DQuote:

Is he going to rock the galvanised sights at the Toby shoot??
On ya Brads. I remember making something similar for my nephew forty years ago.

I made one similar years ago when the lads were 5 or younger with a broken stock off a .22 rifle added a galvanised pipe to the stock and a bolt. The Grandparents went ape when they saw the boys at that age walking up the hill with what they thought was a rifle.:D
I had something similar Dundee, then I worked out it made a pretty good launch platform for skyrockets and I "shot" my sister with it, last I saw of it was dad taking it away as I lay on the ground crying after he gave me a good smack on the ass with it!
I remember making one as a kid even pinched the sliding bolt off the gate so I had a bolt action like the old mans
Like @Dundee I made one for my boys from a cracked rifle stock, broom handle painted black and an old Nikko Sterling scope. Had to eventually hide it from them as it looked a little too real and was causing a bit of concern from their mother and others.

I bought a new 6.5 Creedmoor so needed a new scope for the Forbes - little VX3i 1-5x20, due to its setup the scope doesn't suffer from sun strike like my other ones do (front lens is seated about 2 inches back in the body). Rifle is super light, feels like a toy!

New toy arrived today! Howa Alpine Mountain Rifle in .308.
5.7lbs bare.

Borrowing the Nikon Monarch off my .223 to start with, awesome as the qd rings swapped straight over.
In two minds whether to leave this on here and get a varmint type scope for the .223 or get a dedicated lightweight scope for this.
Apprentice Hunter checking out the optics!

Agree with your thoughts on the feel. Stock is very nice.
Imo it feels 6pound bare rather than 5.7
HnF is, which is a local engineering company that apparently can thread with out removing The barrel. That was my concern about having to retouch the finish (had bad experiences with a local smith.
Throwing the DPT from my 308 on it, pretty much dedicating it to being a gong gun.

I've asked for a thread protector to be cut at the same time, bearing in mind these are blued rifles.
I haven't shot mine either, should have some loads done for next weekend.
Was going to do a mini write up about them as I struggled to find any real info on them from a NZ perspective.
Wait till you shoot it first :DQuote:
