Thread: Building what I want over time criteria, 308, 1000yds, palma

While I like 22LR I find I like 308 even more....doh...big holes pretty

I cant afford to go out and buy a Plama rifle straight off (at least $3k? ) So Im wondering what options there are in NZ and for me.

Say buy a "basic" gun say very good for 500~600 yds that could be upgraded over time, what donors are there?

or keep an eye out for a second hand palma knowing Im going to need a new barrel soonish?

or I guess it maybe just better to sit and save meanwhile use club guns?

Im trying to determine a way forward, so Im looking for help from others with experience along these lines....help greatly appreciated!

BTW I dont know any gunsmiths in Wellington....who are about?
