Thanks guys, didn't want to go looking on the general net and get fifty couch sitting opinions, just from kiwis that actually hunt and carry rifles. Can get one (R93) in 6.5x55 with mount and rings, dies, cases and ammo thrown in for 3k - a bigger day on the hill for me might be 19hrs carrying it, weight and how it sits in the hand is a consideration, nearly went this route once before, but cost got in the way (comparative to other rifles) Not in any way committed, but the price is interesting and the cartridge appeals.
