Thread: Sika Show - who is going?

This was the poorest head on display nice smile!

Went there yesterday morning. Was a well set up and presented expo, but there was some noticeable players/retailers/NZ manufacturers, missing which was a shame. I too was searching high and low for Steve's wholesale who were not there.

Some nice stalls set up selling their gear, but these were mostly clothing brands and firearms wholesalers selling rifles and branded swag, plus lots of stalls with safari hunts, clubs, conservation, safety, etc. which were interesting but had nothing to sell and not what i was there for. Massive lack of ammo, reloading components, etc. for sale and not many deals to be had across the others. Possibly down to a sign of the times?

Plenty of ACT National politicians there pounding the flesh too who also had stalls there.

Seems like Saturday was really busy, which may have gobbled up a few of the deals/gear.

Glad i went, had some great chats with some of the stall peeps, had a very long fondle of a Glacier Rifle Co Carbon Stock which I am eyeing up for potential purchase, but am ho hum about if i will bother driving over next year.

Fuck that’s a good looking old bugger.

Went yesterday morning. Not a lot of people there but that made it easy to get around. Not impressed with the bag search on the way in.

Haha. Obviously passed it's prime and not much to offer to the gene pool anymore.

A good reference of what "Waikato" can achieve?

Went Saturday. Gutted I didn't see Ridgeline there, I wanted to buy one of their woodland camo hunting belts, missed out last year.

And will do for a tad longer. This weekend the intake is sure to go up a little. It will be like getting an annual booster.

Your 50% correct

Went on Sunday, first time at the show for me, bought a couple things but Wasn’t a lot of deals on offer, some nice gear on display to paw over and caught up with a couple mates. The Glacier stocks are very nice! Good to see National and Act there, Nicole was pretty popular. Not a lot of folk talking to the lads at the DOC stand…

Brian Witton 15+” (Massive bases) Bull he shot this year at the young age of 85, second biggest ever shot I think? My good mate took him on the trip.

This laser cut metal work was pretty cool too

Picked up some new toys from the show. A Glacier stock for my Tikka .223, these glacier stock are very well built, and a DNT Zulus. I am a fan of the Pard optics but with all the talk about the Zulus I just have to try one. It will be interesting to put it up against my Pard Night Stalker.

Sorry not sure how that happened. One upside down image
