About zarathustra
Biography:
Back in NZ after 20 years of work and travel in Europe and Asia, so decided to once again look into target shooting. When I had younger eyes I was a competitive Smallbore and Fullbore shooter and wrote for NZ Guns Magazine during its formative years. Now that I'm finally back home to NZ I am rekindling my old interests in rifles and shooting.

    You don't think it's ethically right to shoot a rabbit at more than 75m with a .22....yet you shot a deer with it :wtfsmilie: Did you walk up to the deer and stick the barrel into it's ear hole?...

    No more bloody semi-auto .22s for me. From now on it is bolt-actions all the way! I even brought a single shot .22 the other day after my old POS Stirling model 20p turned 3 shot auto on me. :omg:...

    Yeah there's just not enough heat to wear out the bbl in front of the chamber. High velocity yes...but how many grains of powder in that little case 5g? I guess the barrel would outlive most 17hmr...
