Thread: Thoughts on the rifle?

Hi @Usio1946 /John, welcome to the forum.

Will you be coming out from New York to use it? You might be better asking if you can hire a rifle somewhere? Or apply for a permit to bring yours with you. If you were still looking to buy new, a Howa is similar money but much better quality.

Just an FYI, new members are encouraged to write up a bit of an intro on the intro page. Admin are having a tough time with scammers at the moment, so it helps if you can tell us about about yourself and your upcoming hunting trip to NZ.

Cheers.

mossberg is trash.

damn the deer and goats I shot with my 788 didn't mention anything about the checkering

Just a silly question . Why would someone want to buy a rifle at $nz1500 , when they could buy it at $us500 ????????????.

I was wondering also why when your location is not listed in NZ you were asking about a rifle on special in a store in another country?
AI Perhaps muffed his post?
Unless he is currently on vacation here and has a Tourist Firearms Licence but I'm just guessing

That's it then. You are a magnet for unsophistication.

There are 2 gun threads now where people are answering a first post, not introduced, non replying post from someone saying they live in the US. Slam a tariff on them I say.

nz used to be an amazing lovely country full of genuinely nice and friendly people...

sadly it seems the frustrated inbreeds have taken over...

I can laugh along with your over reaction to tongue in cheek humour-the tariff bit. The rest I believe to be true.

And the 788 are clunky and heavy. Their bolt handles break. And they dont even have chequering....

Every time I shoot mine, the consistent accuracy makes me not notice the weight and the clunkyness, but if I do notice, it just gives it character. The bolt hasn't broken on mine (he writes, then goes to urgently touch some un-chequered wood).
