Yea ill keep an eye out on here, just seeing second rifles that i want go for $200 cheaper than new doesnt make sense to me.

Will probably go 308 now for first rifle as the ammo selection is much much better for someone like me who wont be reloading.

You'd want soft point. I will have a look at p m c.

Same. If you are keen on a new rifle howa do a 7.63 x 39 mini action for 950 bucks. Has a cheap Nikko Stirling scope but apparently a very nice rifle. That's from reloaders.

Yea PMC 308 FMJ is 5 bucks cheaper for 20 rounds ($25). And theyll be fine for target practice. will get some federal or winchester soft points for hunting though.

got the scope and rings so will get a bare rifle. Gonna see if serious shooters or gun city can chuck in a free gun bag and a pack of ammo haha

There was a link here for a hard case gun bag for 50 bucks new.

Already got a pile of guns and the e cat will be the AR already in the cupboard. Process is straight forward enough, just have the security and good reason to want the endorsement, firearm user history, any quals. in shooting, knowing what you want to buy etc

Don't get caught up in the which caliber debate.. if it's shooting 140-160gn pills at over 2600-3000fps it will kill deer when placed in the boiler room... if it wounds it is because the shot wasn't placed well.. if it misses it's because you pointed the rifle in the wrong direction... I bought my 708 because it had a nice piece of wood.... I've missed deer with it and I've wounded derr with it . But I've killed very quickly and efficiently a whole shitload more than have got away... Caliber arguments are for people with far too much time on their hands, ie counter jumpers at sports shops... I should know I did it for a lot of years

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?

what jump counters?? would like to see you do it now

Just waiting till i get my scope sorted

Got my license. The wait for the printers to get around to doing it begins.

Sent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk

Finally my license turned up on may 18 after applying for it first week of January. So around 4.5 months waiting time.
It had expired 15 April.

Just had the vetter around....he said around two months wait for the license.

Was vetted 2 weeks ago, rung up today and got my license number and was able to purchase !

It has been about four weeks since the Vetter came over, so it should turn up any day now I suspect. The old one does not run out for a little while yet so fingers crossed.

I admire your optimism haha. If the threads anything to go by its a long wait.
