    If there is one gun that does everything for NZ needs it is the .308 Winchester. The End.

    My mate shoots a lot of deer with a Maxtoch. His constant retort is why do I need a thermal and I got a 320 1/2 DS red stag with my torch. Hard to beat. LOL.

    When you are talking about still effective killing you would need at least 7gr's otherwise it would dribble out of the barrel. My mate has 9 baffles on his DPT can. It is very quiet.

    Call me fussy. My 308win subs will shoot 1/4" at 50m so I guess I am after similar accuracy.

    So the issue is the purchaser may lose the receipt and someone else might find it? Really? Take some responsibility. Besides, don't you keep your receipts for warranty purposes?
