    Hi Team & thanks already

    Been lurking around here for a couple of years, even when living abroad - Kiwis just know how to do it right (lots of differing terrain and weather obstacles).
    Have had the privilege of soaking up a wealth of information from some amazing forum members willing to share their experience, cheers to you good cats. MUCH APPRECITATED (for those hard of hearing )

    Signed up not long back as I finally got my NZFL.
    Tell ya what, that wait gets ya itchy... been gagging to get out.. even when you have a AUS FL they make you start from scratch, bummer!

    Had a couple of mates take me out but nothing like the freedom of when it all comes together!

    Now got my eyes peeled looking for a T3X 7mm-08 and a reasonable bit of glass.

    Cheers

    Welcome, what type of scope you looking for ? Mag range? Objective size? Budget? Exposed turrets or hold over reticle?

    Welcome mate!

    Had the same experience with the FAL! Once this lockdown is over I think i'll be spending some cash, much to my wifes disappointment!

    If you're ever over Rotorua/Taupo way, sing out!

    Hi @chainsaw. I'm looking for something along the lines of a 3-15x44, illuminated. Around $1500-1800 price range
    Can get a Zeiss similar to that for $1750, so using that as my guideline at this point.
    Preferably Exposed turrets..

    any recommendations or advise would be great
