Thread: Visiting American needs some advice

Thanks all for the replies.
Im looking to bring it back to US when i leave so selling it or borrowing one isnt really one of m options yet, except for the supprssor which i wont be able to bring back.
I figure the bull barrel on the BSA will be a bit heavy but the rifle weighs about the same as my sporter Arisaka back home and is shorter to boot. My budget is a little flexible but I wouldnt want to go over 1000 with a suppressor. Also only looking in the Christchurch area as I dont have a car.
Right now im thinking go with the BSA just because the barrel is newer and the two-tone look is something I dont have in a rifle.
Plus im planning on taking some other international students out to shoot as most of them have never fired a gun and they need some education in gun safety and the shooting sports, some extra weight to the gun might prevent them getting too recoil shy.

And I have a girl back home so any stud action would get me in a bit of trouble

So under a $1000 with a can,
Here is my pick

Or something like this

Zastava 270 | Trade Me

Sure someone in the forum community could collect and forward on.

Good find brads

Guns are so cheap in the usa. Why would you want to buy one here and take it back?

You might be better off hiring one from Gunworks, then sorting one out at leisure . . . . .

Or borrow.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I ended up going with the BSA (which i actually saw today was marked at 850) but I got a buddy here from America also looking at getting one so im gonna pass this on to him and hope he finds a good deal.
