    Westie intro

    Arvie,

    New here, from rural West Auckland. Got my FAL at 16 and managed to lose interest since then. 10 years on I'm back in the game - I think? Keen to soak up some knowledge. Mainly into small game hunting as that's all our lifestyle block allows at the moment! Just bought a Howa HCR .223 so looking to get into something a bit more hearty (and also find a scope for it)

    Cheers

    Welcome Bud, from that part of the world myself, some 40 odd years ago and family history back to the 1860s.
