    Rise and shine, its hunting time

    Hello all,

    Arrived a couple weeks ago in NZ. Living the dream in this hunters paradise! i'm based in Dunedin but living in the hills of otago. Absolutely love hunting; started at the age of 8 in the swamps of the Netherlands together with my uncle. After a couple of years we moved on and hunted the German forests together. I moved to new zealand to experience the hunting on this side of the world and be part of the NZ hunting culture. It's amazing! Currently waiting for the vetting for my firearms license. Looking for a rifle; all recommendations are welcome!

    Cheers!

    Welcome! You can't go wrong with a stainless tikka t3 in a mid caliber. Won't rust like blued guns, is accurate, and reliable.

    I'd suggest joining the local NZ Deerstalkers while you wait on your license. They'll get you involved in the hunting community and you'll probably get out on some hunts with others while you wait on the license.
