Thread: Our favourite ever firearms..

Remington 600 was more than a bushpig back then for me - very competent little unit. NZDA competition shooting was very active then, well attended, and my own and old man's 600s in 243 and 308 did well. Very accurate, and carbine size made it so easy to handle for kneeling, prone, standing, running pig etc.

And not at all surprised to BSA Majestics in the favourites list either. Dam nice rifle - certainly a cut above the Parker Hale which I started with in the late 60s. Parker Hale the cheap affordable rig of the time. Remington made some good stuff back then - the 600 and variants, 742 semi, 760 pump etc. Old man had a 760 pump in 308 and loved it.

Often with growing family you have to get rid of a firearm or two for kids fees, house renos etc.. Unfortunately we don't always make the right decision. We have some new rifle setup in the closet, and sacrifice that old but efficient hunter rifle. Later we often regret parting with that 'character' rifle, but may not blink an eye when the newer one eventually moves on. Wish I'd kept half a dozen.. 100% valid too though for new rifle setup to be a favourite - all good there.
