    sfunny.
    One of the first calibres I ever wanted was a 25/06. Flat shooting, not too big and boofy, and only a shade off a 270.
    I Had a 243 semi that let me down and ended up with a Winchester 70 also in 243 and that was that.
    They did an article in rod and rifle years ago about a kit rifle in 2506. Stock had to be finished off from memory. It got good write up's as a calibre which fuelled the fire a little
    Mind you I also heard quite a few stories of the legendary 250-3000 from some good old hunters and thought "well it cant be too bad, its even quicker". Yanks like them too.
    A relative of mine who's shot a lot of deer went from a 270 to a 2506 and didn't mind at all at least initially
    After all that I also have a thing for 7mm rem mags and 7-08. Missed out on a mag once and never tried again so I obviously don't always get what I want.
    I do have a 416 rem mag though lol
    Just not one of the popular calibres in NZ when there are so many around that are just as capable-now more than ever.

Real happy, looks like a new one (photo from phone sorry) Z5 will go back on my finnlight and have a VX5 on it's way for this rifle.

    Thats way too nice for Doyleston,or even Irwell.Thats more of a Prebbelton Rifle.

    Do you know where the Shingle pit is if you want to sight it in?To the top end of Drain Road and then round the easy left hander,follow your nose to where the tarmac changes to a Shingle Road and its on your right

    Nice cheers for that I do have a big shingle pile on the farm that I use for load development etc at the moment but due to the location I'm basically right outside our neighbors house at my shooting position, they haven't said anything but I'm sure a braked rifle barking away doesn't really thrill them

    Sponsored? Buggered if I could afford paying for one.

    I would be partial to a caesar guerini if I got back into sporting.
    A good mate of mine just got an F3 sponsored. He had a perrazi for a few years.

    Nope not sponsored, don't shoot enough for that anymore.

    The stars aligned with some unfortunate incidents last year which insurance coughed up for allowing me to purchase this.
