    Howdy from Dunedin!

    Howdy folks, new member from Dunedin checking in.

    I moved here from Queensland a little while back and I've just applied for my NZ FAL. I've been hunting for 7 years or so, mostly red deer and pigs in open eucalypt forest. Looking forward to getting amongst the thick scrub around Dunedin while working toward alpine hunting in the future!

    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

    Kia ora! I see you're a local, any gunsmith down here you'd recommend particularly? Thinking about bedding jobs and cutting threads for suppressors.

    FYI I don't know Maori... I just made up those big middle words, thought they looked cool.
    I had advice to send my 30-06 to @Jaco Goosen, but I couldn't be bothered so it ended up being bedded by local guy called Lee Jefferson. I think that's who it was.
    Heard good things about Les Grimsey, not sure if he's still in business. Think so.
    If you go to the Leith Valley range the guys there know a bunch of good contacts that can help you out. Good place to do networking

    Sorry it was Lee Jefferson. Not Les Grimsey.
