    Nothing wrong with tikkas, like toyota corollas, not hugely interesting but reliable and excellent value for money.

    Personally i won't buy a t3 (an older lsa yes please!) because i like to have things that are a bit different and interesting.

    I should probably add that for nz hunting, thick bush, wet, muddy, they are great inexpensive, reliable, light, weather resistant rifles.

    You can keep the beautiful walnut stocked, rust blued masterpieces safe and have a tikka (or howa in my case) for the rough stuff.

    I myself love the beautifuly made guns of yesteryear and the well made modern wood stocked blued type rifles eg Sauer ect but on a practcal side i own plastic fantastics as they get abused pretty reguarly
    I do irgnz take exception to the statement of their lack about of taking game and claiming trophys.
    last year i would imagine there were three of us that took 180 animals using tikkas and as far as trophys go my dirty old plastic tikka has taken a few in the last few years much to the disgust of a few old school rifle lovers with some of them even buying one when their trusty old woody cant hit a bit of a4 at 200 yds and the plastics are doing .25 moa
    So all the best with ya woody and on the thirtieth bring your woody down to our taihape nzda long range shoot and put me back in my place along with the other ten plastic lr shooters

    Cheers Andy

    Are they so bad?? To me YES they are,
    You are a brave man saying such things! Any more of that and you will have hoards of JAFA's dropping their lattes and arriving on your doorstep to beat some sense into you with their manbags

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Now there is a marketing opportunity for Swazi or Stoney Creek. Camo manbag with a pocket for an iPad and a water bladder. Ha ha ha ha I can just see every second fellah in Queen Street with one over his shoulder.
    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

    Is that an invitation? Depending on the range my 260 might keep your plastic fantastic honest

    I carry a manbag. Fuck the haters. I initially bought it to sneak beer into fights.

    Each to their own Rushy.
    I actually don't really know what a man bag is.
    I am assuming a purse that is somehow made to be slightly manly?
    I doubt gimp has little miniature toys dangling off it or has a supply of tampons and make up.
