    Intro

    Hi everyone,

    I was told I should probably introduce myself in a thread so here it goes.

    My name is Scott, and I am mad keen about hunting at the moment. I find it hard to get out for a hunt as I have three young children. Cant wait to be able to take them out.

    I live in the manawatu so I frequent the ruahine ranges. I own a 6.5 creedmoor Howa 1500 26" heavy barrel and its heavy as hell and a nightmare to take into the bush but I love it

    I work in electronics and other workshop stuff.

    If you wanna know anything else about me feel free to ask.

    Cheers

    Hi and welcome, you seem like the sort of guy that would be interested in a single shot maybe in 308. Am I right.

    Welcome Mudgee. @veitnamcam what have you been smoking? The man’s name is not James, it is Scott.
    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
