    One thing I have learned in the last few years is every imaginable dream rifle is well represented in NZ
    They just aren't flashed around by the guys who own them
    They can be found and they can be brought
    They are kept for a long time so don't change hands often
    They are usually the very last of a collection to be let go
    It takes a long time and a lot of phone calls to find them and convince their current owner that you are a worthy successor to own them

    Absolutely anything you can imagine is here somewhere and you just need to find it
    If it takes a while it tastes sweeter when you do own it and it gives you plenty of time to save the dollars you will need

    Right click that last photo and open it in a new tab. Then you can really zoom in and see the details - the attention to detail is just on point, literally.

    That's just lovely.

    A couple of questions - if you don't mind.

    What does it weigh?

    How does your hand fit on the grip when the tang sight is folded down and you are using the express sights?

    Akaroa's right - it's quite astonishing what's in this country

    I had a nice lightweight Rigby .275 (7x57) I couldn't resist taking into the Urewera'a and I went over a bank with that thing and watched it clatter on the rocks - gave it some history that day. I never took it out again and eventually had it 'massaged' away from me by someone who never relented.
    Change your name, address, wife and deny you own that thing ............. eyes will have already glazed over with lust
