They just don’t get better

.308. I’ve had four montanas, all have been excellent, so I’ve been lucky also. I’ve no doubt that they’ve put out some duds, but the good ones are worth hanging on to.

I've had a couple of Adirondacks that were awesome guns but also a couple of hunters that were the biggest turds ever invented.
One went back to importer after compliants and best they could achieve was 3 moa.

Life is hanging from a thread which is in the hands of Immigration NZ but that doesn't stop me from picking up guns where-ever how-ever I can. I love Diana52s. Picked this one from a friend who has moved to dark side (PCPs) and think of springers as obsolete tech. Good for me. Presenting Diana 52 .177 T05

I f you find a Meopta MeoPro scope, buy it! Still one of my favorites and since Meopta replaced them they are selling for more than their original retail price. Worth every penny! It's one of those items, if you think about it to long, someone else will snatch it out from under you.

Though these are best suited for .22 but I guess we can shoot heavy. .177s. I plan to do some testing with various heavy pellets next month. This is my 3rd 52, previous 2 were .22. I guess apart from HW80 this is the best springer one can buy to shoot .22s.

I plan to bring my .22 to NZ. Lets see if I am able to do that. Best of luck for your mate for new house and FAL renewal.

My new baby! It's new to me; not new.... A BSA 1916 .303 SHTLE III* (FTR) Rifle; now sporting a Nikon 3-9x scope! Going to be so cool hunting with 106-year old rifle!

Political connections, few medals at national levels, some greased palms one or all of it depending on state and district you are in. Some states specially. border states are pretty liberal in granting licenses. British Raj left a legacy in INDIA called babus (Govt services officers), many of them have no exposure to guns and they are the ones who decide on licenses so it gets a pretty interesting.

Apart from that we have a whole generation growing up with no knowledge about hunting, guns etc. Whole freaking country is turning greenie. Recently we had our .22 airguns put on to Licenses and limits of guns on one license reduced to 2 from 3. Its pretty effed-up here ..

Sorry looks like I went on a bit of rant

First 22 in a long time, bergara bxr carbon with a spare swaro I had
