    Newbie fom Auckland

    Hi guys
    Watching this site for a while now but never post anything. Just reading.
    Long story short is that i start shooting again after 19 years.
    Daughther want to learn too so i am getting rifles and got a friend with a range on his lifestyle block.
    Already got a .22, Howa mini 223, Brno 243, Howa 308 and recently another Brno 308.

    Thats all for now so safe shooting.

    Cheers

    Deon

    Thanks guys. @40mm i only have a photo of the 243 here. Bought cheaply, front sight a little damage and no rear sight. So i chop it off just behind the front sight and have it threaded for suppressor. Put an DPT over barrel on. Have not shot any groupings but can hit a 6x4 plate at 250 meters easily with factory ammo. Still got to do a couple of things to tidy it up.

    Hoping to pick up the 308 by next weekend.

    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

    Howdy and welcome, that looks like an interesting trigger on the Brno, not something I have seen before.

    Thanks. That is the set trigger the Brno's coming with. Push it forward to set it. Much lighter then.
