    My mate had one on loan last hunting season and I have shot them at a demo day at a range.

    They feel more traditional than a Blaser but not as pollished as a Heym. The switch barrel function is nice but you might be better off with a more supported product back home?

    They are dear for what they are and you might end up buying an orphan if they dont sell well over thete.

    The straight pull market seems to be very very fussy and difficult to please. (Blaser owners im looking at you)
    I haven't anything to do with these but I hope they go well.

    We just live for disappointment. I'm fucking gutted my R93 hasn't blown up yet but I live in hope. That plastic washer has to give up any day now.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    They seem to be quite good
    All reviews are positive.
    Beretta New Zealand, have arrogantly priced themselves out of my price range for retirement rifle.

    So, as you would, being a Kiwi . I'm going to look for something else.

    I know nothing of the rifle you mention, but I’m going to throw something out there-
    Unless you are buying a Rigby/Heym no factory rifle is up to being called an heirloom rifle. The finish and fit is average, not to mention they are machine checkered. Get yourself a classic built, you can do it for half the cost with the same quality. My upcoming .358Win is going to be top end, and total cost is less than $2500. Admittedly I’m building the stock for it, but even if I charged it to myself the whole package would be $6k. A ‘deluxe’ Sako is probably that much these days, and still only a factory Sako.

    Don't lose sight of the fact that my Sako Deluxe is 5k NZD.

    Not being an arse.
    I'm looking at end of days that I can pass on.
    You still have at least two 7 litre Camaros, a nascar powered a c cobra and the whole range of Sakos to go yet, then you have your 70s to look forward too

    Then make yourself a small expedition truck from a Tractor unit and a portacom and hunt the shit outa NZ until
    Your mrs calls you home

    Isn't that Bunji's truck? That he toured aussie in and saved countless lives performing open heart surgery with a bacho knife, whilst shooting foxes with open sights at 500 M with bullets cast in an open fire into hand molded sand from the Wheelweights after he rebalanced the tires swinging them on a clothes line.
