Hey guys, found my way over here too. I'm Laurie and never seem to get enough time for spearfishing and hunting...not likely to get better anytime soon as the missus just dropped baby #2.
Currently have a SAKO AV 280 as my main carry rifle, but its a bit of a brick - would like to replace the wooden stock as funds permit. Also have a little 6mmBR project rifle on a Rem 788 action - still tinkering with it and yet to shoot it. Recently bought a barnard barrelled action (palma 308) which will eventually grow up into something like a 338 edge, but may have a partial make-over into a 300 RUM to burn out the existing barrel first.
Also do a mix of ducks and pheasants - primarily in the BOP (home town Katikati) so have a Win101 and 1187.
Got a Brno mod 1 for the rabbits and possums, but again don't get out nearly enough to chase the little buggers - looking forward to the day my kids will be old enough to join me.
Did manage to get out for a spear a few weeks ago around the back of Tiri:
