Thread: PAKI PAKI shooting range

I hear theres a new shooting range being built south of paki paki, would be keen to lend a hand if need be, can lay blocks if that helps, also keen on getting into F-class competition. any info would be appreciated

There are a few F-Class guys on here, what do you want to know?

there is some info here Shooting Classes | National Rifle Association of New Zealand

basically just want to know how to get into it and where to go, have money set aside for f class build as i think my 338 too big?
maybe build a 7mm something on barnard action....very open to suggestion

As an entry into F-Class you CANNOT go wrong with a Savage F Class 6.5-284
Shoot it out, then screw on a Shehane if you want 7mm

One is on my list, but being such a gun whore, there is about 50 others on that list!

I will second that Spanners, very hard to go past the Savage 12F's for F Class shooting, i have one in 6mmbr that is a tack driver, and have just finished setting up my 6.5-284 version, after some quick load development, it looks like its going to shoot as well as the BR.

that might be me then, gota be cheaper than a custom build, money id save could put a march 80x to put on top mmmm..whats the retail on the savage?

$2500, yeah a March would go well, i ended up putting a nightforce on mine.

When I looked at importing one I was quoted about $2600 to my door
great value

The Pakipaki range has been around for a while. Have thought about trying to get out there but never have. They have some very slick remote targets I have been advised (ultrasound I think). I think they offered an invitation to some of the local Deer Stalker clubs sometime last year.

what reticle did you go for in ya NF? i got npr1 on my 8-32x LRH rifle

i went with npr2 in the end, and went with the 12-42 benchrest, will end up getting a second one to replace the 6-24 elite tactical on my 6br

Tony Loughlan (Loughlan Hall & Thompson) is your man to contact.

Not sure they have an open membership though.
