I don't bash folks for what they own and why. I own firearms for self defense, for hunting, for target shooting, and just for burning a hole in my pocket when I have money to spend. Some of my guns will never be fired. I just own them because I wanted it.
But I will not let someone disarm me. My family went through that once already. They were executed by the commie bastard Ernesto "Che" Guevara ad Fidel Castro.
My family got to experience the true wonder of civilian disarmament.
This thread is for pictures of firearms, and I'm keen to see what any forum members want to share, regardless of where they live. We can try to moderate what gets posted here and have a forum-wide ban on the word 'weapons' and it won't make any difference given what NZ shooters post on Bookface and youtube. 'Arm' is another word for weapon, if you are bearing one you are 'armed' and they are often kept in an 'armoury', to take one away is to 'dis-arm'. A 'fire-arm' is an arm (weapon) that uses burning gases (the 'fire' bit) to launch a projectile. As opposed to a pole-arm for instance which is a spear or pike. A weapon is a specific type of tool, designed or used to kill. A firearm is a specific type of weapon used to kill by means of a projectile propelled by burning gas. Most of us own weapons designed to kill animals, many of us own weapons designed to kill people, which we use to shoot targets or animals. You can call it a weapon, firearm, rooty-tooty-point-and-shooty, "das black-und-scary-laudenboomer" or anything else, but I really don't think it will change the perceptions held by people who use them, or those held by the general public. The way to change people's perceptions is not to re-label something, but to show them how it works. So don't argue with each other here; convert someone new by taking them to the range!
Okay rant over, more gun porn please =)
Your not wrong.Quote:

Bit of a let down as they are a far get from a budget rifle, would have expected better from the hi tech stock although I suppose that are just ordered in bulk and the actions bolted in with no fitting.
Haven't bothered painting mine as you can't see it, the fibreglass shouldn't absorb water I wouldn't think?

@Spudattack I've lightly sanded as opposed to going all out, I didn't know how thick the fibreglass stock was/is.
Funny, mine is the same left to right in the barrel channel
I painted because I can be anal about stuff (and rough as guts on others, who figures).
Seems to be a large variance on price with agents, I was priced from 1400-2000.. I would not have been too pleased with $2000 for this. But for $1400 it's fine.
If you are interested in the weight, the following is in grams
Bolt 364
Stock 743
Mag plate + box and spring 233
Action trigger rings(Talley) barrel 1533
Sending some rounds downrange with the SIG 550 SP2 this afternoon, pictured on table for scope adjustments. Guest appearance by Steyr AUG (not pictured, lurking in background).

New little custom build put together by @Kiwi Greg
Lightened Remington SA, 16” Hardy barrel in a McMillan carbon stock.
30 ARX, basically a 6.5 Grendel necked up to 30 cal.
Nice light little rig that shoots straight. Group below was one off a cold barrel then 4 on top of each other. Pleasantly surprised with the performance.

That group I pictured was at 100 metres.

I suppose, I understand @gadgetman is travelling up from Chch in a van? If he had room for a 6'6" lanky bastard and his .338 I could always fly up to Chch and go from there. Happy to contribute to gas money and shit banter.Quote:
