    New from around Ashburton

    Hi everyone, new to this, been wanting to get back into hunting as my previous attempt failed due to firearm law changes right as I was getting into it... Loved my Browning BAR .270 but had to let it go and as you can tell I'm looking for a replacement, nothing flash that'll shoot straight, cheers

    What are you looking for?, can do a rather good Rem 700 in .270 or an average Browning A bolt in 25/06 at the mo (A bolt is a cheap and cheerful goodie)

    Hi, welcome. Wait and watch the buy and sell. I'm sure you'll turn up something worthwhile.

    Synthetic/blue - average to good order, A bolt 11 (1999 by serial no) Decent Jap manufacture,(not American or Portuguese) - weaver bases, threaded for a suppressor (1/2x20) $600.

    Can do with a suitable scope and rings if needed. Went moa with some handloads pinched from another .25 when tested, but no way to know about factory ammo or proper load development (seat of the pants tells me it will be a shooter).

    Welcome.
    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
