    Good haul from the Ruahine auction this weekend. Two rifles for the NZDA Heritage Trust museum collection and one for a mate. Aiming to tell the complete .303 story with these original milspec rifles to show the background to all those sporters.

    Mod 70 now with an original buttplate kindly donated by @7mmwsm. Thanks brother.







    Edit: Last picture is a bit dark sorry, my phone decided to focus on Wellington instead of the gun. Figures.
