I remember the Lochinvar blokes but the Wainui Trust doesn't ring a bell. There was another station there, can't remember its name - but very well known. It was just to the south of Clements Road...

Thinking about that a bit more, I'll expand my answer a touch - the guys talking about the cordless saws have a good point and if you're only cutting a bit here and there they are a really good...

Probably a bit of envy there - I wouldn't mind a private block I could hunt on. Those 601's were nice, a mate I hunted with got one, the .223 I think - the old police model. I had the 600 with a...
