    I have a flogged-out Rem 700 .308 that I would like to re-barrel in .358 for bush hunting.
    It’s a piece of walnut grown in Marlborough. Apparently from a tree planted by the first European settlers of the area. Go ahead and do it, you only live once right?

    All the walnut I have on hand here in Akaroa similarly comes from trees planted by the original settlers circa 1850
    Most of those original trees just start dying of old age at around 150 years old
    I have another big walnut to take down this summer to refresh my walnut supply for use in another 5 years time
