    Hi caberslash Yes we got our Sako Vixen 222 for $240 with rings and a 4 xWeaver scope, and ammo was free. We were allocated 3 rounds per kill so we ended up with surplus as when we hunted 7 days a...

    .222, .243, 308. 7x57, 270, 7mm mag, 30-06. If we were to be really honest with ourselves we could ditch every other calibre and new fangled slightly different offering and be perfectly well catered...

    I was very fortunate to work in Tisdall's sports shop in PNth after school for 3 years from 1963. There was rack after rack of rifles (50 maybe?) and I oiled them with Youngs oil every week. I loved...

    Back in the 1960's .22 and .308 calibre rifles were given a discounted Duty rate because they were calibres manufactured by CAC in Auckland. Whilst the only.308" bore centrefires granted that status...

    In 1967 I bought a Sako Forester in that maligned (by a few) chambering of 308W. I was told by older members of my branch NZDA that I was mad spending that sort of money. Within the next 10 years...
