Hey guys ive had a mishap with my rifle and Im in need of sighting my rifle in again. My rifles rings had to replaced such a cunt man. Im going for a hunt next weekend and this is the only sunny day in the naki for a week. I know this is a long shot but if anyone knows anyones place I could sight my rifle in im more then happy to give them a box of their chosen poison. I hate asking for help like this but yeah. Also my rifles calibre is .308. Sorry for asking again guys
Sounds serious dude, what happened? Hope its only the rings that are rooted
The talleys I bought, I got a guy at hunting and fishing to put them on and when I went to send my rifle away to be threaded the rings have been screwed on too tight and fucked it, such a cunt man but awhell. Put the standard ones back on. Now I have to sight it back in.Quote:

I'm sure you'll find something used but in good condition to bushpigize, (Oh look I just made a new word).Quote:

I see a threaded 15 inch .308 Tikka barrel on TradeMe .
Screw it on your Tikka , buy a Suppressor and you have your PIG .

Hey bro because of my lack of experience with rifles and such I wouldnt know what to look for when I buy a used one. Decided to just buy a new one. Im by no means well off but Id rather save for abit then buy a lemon as such. CheersQuote:

all three can be had new or 2nd hand

the trick with vechiles or firearms (sheilahs not so much) is to get someone more knowledgeable than yourself to help you check them out BEFORE shelling out your $$$$$
rifles and cars come with a concrete guarantee...once you buy and walk across concrete footpath they are guaranteed to be worth less than you paid.
for a bush carbine.......you can get away with less spec than your long range slayer..eg mine is a elcheapho norinco 7.62x39mm bolt action and she kills deer,pigs and wallabies just fine n dandy UNDER 150 yards...thats what I got it for and also for young fellas and or a borrow rifle. a bit like the old rust bucket banger down the driveway,nothing flash but does the job.
What about when you cross the concrete with your hands full and bump into a pear of large pearler titis!!, :P You drop the new rifle and stuff up the scope!!. PS , Sorry guys, the pic was censored.
I bought a Howa mini there. when I went to take the mounts off to Loctite them I found one of the ring screws was completely stripped. Told them about it and they didn't care. Of course; I couldn't prove that it wasn't me that did it. When I asked about upgrading the rings they didn't offer a deal on them as an act of goodwill. So won't be going back there again......Quote:
