A Tikka T3 in .303 would be nostalgically useful, 150g SST @ 2700 would work fine for normal distances.

I think Iv got nostalgia covered.:angry:

From memory the 303 has the same bolt face as a 7mm rem mag so not too hard to rebarrel a tikka and open up the BF if needed.

How much do you want for the barrel ?

Sliding an old rimmed ex mill round that rots barrels into a T3 has a certain appeal in a Frankensteinish sort of way.

When you replace that sweaty old Cordite for 43g of ADI 2208 the barrel rot fades into the distant past :)

Then Wildman would be right.....ugly from every direction:D

a rag.. to clean scope wipe arse and bandage cuts. in no particular order!

My essentials are rifle, knife, water bottle, head light and insulation tape

bullets help too but they are not necessary on over half my hunts

I got the micro spikes from a place in Dunedin (south island ;) ) called mac pac may be in other parts of NZ
I have only ever used them in the bush since i got them but they are amazing.
They do have a tendency to slide around your boots if walking around the side of a hill but with a couple of bits of string or tape this can be stoped.
I saw Hunting and Fishing in Dunedin are now selling something very similar
