    Good to see @Tommy I’d feel safer with that lot too
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    I was down 5 AR’s and a .22 Trombone.
    Since bought a K98 8x57, M38 6.5x55, R8 6.5x47, R8 7mmRM, R8 223, Vudoo 22.

    Possibly over compensated, but happy enough.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    Under compensated I reckon, that’s only four rifles to replace six?

    My "AR replacements" are a Troy PAR, a Ruger Ranch 556 in case the Troy gets banned, and a Kriss DMK. I've bought 3 guns to give me the functionality of one.

    Aoraki Ammunition are bringing in straight-pull VZ58's in 7.62x39 Thinking about the possibility of one of those and a compact bolt action.

    Ruger Ranch in 7.62x39, great little shooter.

    I would rather be shot out of a cannon, than squeezed out of a tube.
