    Hello all.

    New to the forum so thought I had better introduce myself.
    Have got some useful info off here over the years so have finally joined, I’m not the most active person on computers etc so I don’t expect to rack up thousands of posts like some of you have in your signatures.
    From Whakatane, am quite active in the north island prs community, most of my hunting is of the pest control nature locally (bunnies, possums, sambar & currently looking for a wallaby spot), now my kid is getting abit older I’m hoping to get back out after reds etc in areas I’ve not been to before. Aside from competing, hunting and reloading I’m also a car bloke and as my user name suggests I’ve got a couple of project vehicles on the go in the dodge and valiant flavour. I’m a fitter turner by trade so that also helps with my various rifle projects I also have on the go, having access to a decent machine shop is a big plus!

    I used to love rotaries when I was a pup, Dad had a s3 RX2 when I was young, he sold it just before I realised what it was (7-8yrs old). He also had an R100 prior to me arriving when he lived in ozz.

    Yes the deer are getting abit out of hand around here, great for my freezer though!

    Thanks all for the warm welcome everyone. Been busy reloading tonight for the ahititi long range challenge this weekend, should be a bloody good (as always) shoot.

    No worries Mike, happy to help!

    Welcome aboard
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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
