Hi all, long time reader, first time poster.
Getting older but still like guns - and hunting when I can.
Just bought a Brno 222, (why not 223 you think? - because I have a heap of 222 ammo sitting around!).
Anyway her-indoors going for FAL so will suit her when we get after wallabies in a months or two, I’ll use my 308.
Don’t ask me to post pics, I don’t know how!
Welcome.
.222 is a sweet round. The staple of government cullers for decades.
Welcome to the forum.
We are all getting older, the longer it takes the better for all of us.
Welcome. If you want to post pictures then tap on the third icon from the right (framed picture of a tree) then follow your nose.
Welcome and enjoy. You are only as old as you think you are (despite what the body keeps telling you).
Welcome.
Welcome, 222 is a part of our hunting legacy - great wee calibre.
Thanks for the welcome guys.Quote:

Welcome nice post
Welcome
Welcome , I joined only recently myself but have been enjoying it , great bunch of people on here .
Welcome, we all get old but you don't realise how quick it happens until your there.
Welcome, wouldnt be without my .222
OK, it seems I can’t look at anything in the For Sale/Wanted to Buy section or even look at anything in that part of this forum and on looking through the forum and the faq section I cannot see a reason for this - or how to fix it.
When I try I get a message about having to look at a thread and to ‘look at the thread here’ (or similar) but no way of looking at that thread (whatever it is!)
Anyway, any of you others ever had that problem and how did you ‘fix’ it?
Salutations Finnwolf. If ever in the Rotorua area, catch up with another oldie. I use .223 Howa and 6.5x55 Tikka. Both suppressed on a/c hearing loss.
Welcome Finnwolf
Only ever handled one of those once; in .243 it was. Very nice little rifle until age got the better of them (Bit like all of us I spose)
I think you’ll find there’s a built in delay measures in days not weeks I think) for new members to forum before they can post in certain areas.
This was instigated so that there was a measure of protection for us from scammers etc.
I’m sure you’ll find you can view/post everywhere pretty soon ...
And .308 on a mob of wallaby starts to hit your shoulder after a few rounds lol....
Remember if you’re able to night-shoot wherever you go, there are other options ...(#2 load 12g up close seems to work well)
Thanks for the heads-up, it’s al new to me.Quote:
