Said that he is a professional hunting guide and that he's seen more wounded/missed animals with 7mm-08's than any other caliber and recommended I get a 308, so yea that kind of put me off getting the 7mm-08 (which they had in Stock). But then when I asked him if they had a t3x in 308 in Stock, he shuffled all over the place and couldn't find one. Funny how he and his colleague changed their tune after that, suddenly the 7mm-08 was "not such a bad caliber" any more and I should "not let their opinions affect what I buy"... Sale people I tell ya. Walked out not feeling comfortable with a purchase at all. They were friendly tho at least but yea. Any other auckland gun stores I could try out with decent selection of stock? Serious shooters? Gun city?
