    FNG

    Hi all
    New to the forum
    Mainly interested in service rifle and target shooting, occasional hunter.
    Ex British Infantryman but now mostly harmless!
    Looking to revisit my youth and purchase an SLR, preferably all plastic furniture and a carry handle if possible.
    Down South just outside Dunedin.
    All banter welcomed!

    Hi Mate - My old hometown! before being forced to live and breathe in Auckland the last almost 20 years (still don't call myself a Aucklander)..

    Lots of Good guys on here - you'll have fun.

    RE SLR: I know what you mean regarding SLR and Ex-Army it holds a place in ones heart once fired. I do remember drooling over a couple of Lithgow built ones in the Gun room at Serious Shooters up here plus one in high gloss wood looks like a parade ground version that's come out of somewhere in Asia. In the 90's they were selling them ex-army converted for a couple of hundy now there a lot more north of that and e-cat too.

    Good luck - would love to see a pic of what you end up with. Right now my project is 300 BLK.
