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

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. Originally Posted by PerazziSC3

You obviously haven't met some of the women that I have woken up next to in my younger days Wildman! Originally Posted by Wildman

What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

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

When you replace that sweaty old Cordite for 43g of ADI 2208 the barrel rot fades into the distant past Originally Posted by sneeze

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
