I did 4 years of crazy maths for engineering, I got used to living with a molten brain

Shit I chose my Engineering degree to drop math in the 4th year...... and haven't used 3rd order differential equations since!




ps Why do movie guns need constant loading and unloading until they are fired?

Between Radio Systems and Signal Processing that's basically 4th year maths for you anyway. I also did Advanced Power Systems which had some crazy multi-variate calc in it too.

People give a lot of the math a bad rap, but it is worth having learned, because there is definitely no other time in your life when you're going to do it!

Give me the $700 odd to buy a replica and I'll let you have a turn with it
It would be family memorabilia, so I'll keep it...

The soft point 308mx bullets? Ouch, that's pretty rough news, wtf is going on over there?

Are these kind of single shot 22s very good for plinking? As good as those suppressed Norinco's they sell for 300 odd? I've been told they (norincos) are pretty shit. Would the ones in the links be very loud? Its been so long since I used a 22 I can't remember. The closest neighbors are about 4-500 meters away, so I'm just wondering if I would be able to shoot a lot without complaints.

Edit: I'm meaning sub sonics, btw. What kind of max distance can 22lr subsonic shoot at consistently? 50?

The Norinco's arn't shit, for the bucks you pay for them you get a pretty good shooter.

As for noise the rifle makes, at 4-500m your neighbours won't hear much, so I wouldn't worry.

If you get a bolt one, I'd say get one with a mag (detachable or not). Or a semi, which ever takes your fancy

I'd prefer a bolt, but does mag or single really matter? I only ask because there are quite a few cheap single shots, and seeing as I'm only going to be shooting at a barrel or a magpie i didn't think wouldn't make much difference if you're only suggesting one with a mag for follow up shots with rabbits or something?

Well fair enough, if that's all you wish it for, go a single if it's cheaper and fits your needs

Or a Martini

keep an eye out on trademe and pick up a cheap bolt action, mag fed .22, there are tons around. The norincos are cheap, was just in SAI looking at a 9mm sig copy and a 1911 pattern 45 by them and it's just little things like the slide being a little rough, the metal starting to rust out slightly under the blueing, that kind of stuff.

Get a decent second hand one, it'll serve you better. Get one in stainless if possible and it'll last for donkeys.
