    @Rushy, whatever you do, DO NOT accept offers from @duckdog to shoot the mental rifle he brought last year.

    It might not have had the largest bore, but I have never seen anything with such brutal snappy recoil

    Rushy, that sounds like a plan.
    I have some options for you to use. 45-70, 458 Win mag or 416 Rigby. If you really want to test your resilience you can use the Weatherby

    Bring the Rigby, that will add some flavour to the mix

    Need to find someone with a 404 Jeffery

    This sounds like something I could get into, recently made an impulse buy of a .450 bushmaster, and a .45-70.... bit of a hike from up north, what are theaccommodation and 4x4 opportunities like down there?

    Sounds like fun but I can't get my finger down the muzzle of any of my rifles so I guess I'll just wait for some funny stories "after". Enjoy

    Oh the innocence of youth. I told my daughter that you were arranging a big bore shoot and her reply was how will he know the pigs will be big down there? She felt a bit silly when I explained the difference between bore and boar.

    Fair enough. Thanks. Will see if somebody is going past Taupo that I could share with at the time.

    I am keen, but have to wait and see, if I can travel back from Canada, and if its worth while, currently two weeks quarantine, in each direction, don't make for much of a holiday.
