The firearm thread

As soon as he finds the right place he is going to get Peter Miles there immediately. Peter is the gentleman who issues range certifications in NZ.

Ummm almost.

Peter is one of the Pistol NZ Range certification people. He happens to be the one located just north of the Bombay Hills.

New Zealand does not stop at the Bombays

Anyone looking for gun manuals...?

Found lots - right here

[Wolf]

It is a very exciting prospect and I hope it really comes off.

Likewise, it sounds like a worthy idea.

Finding a good place to practise or sight rifles in is a real mission. Used to use a friend's farm until they moved away. Most recent practise was ages ago on DOC land for which I'd secured a hunting permit - didn't see any game and I was buggered if I was going to leave with the rifle unfired. There wasn't enough clear space to practise over a decent range, however.

Doesnt it?

Better revise my geography a bit then.

Where does it stop?

Is the same language used? What about currency?




Am I looking at a lynching here?

As a native born Southlander, (Invercargill to be exact), with lots of relelatives in Invercargill and Gore I suppose I will not be welcome down there in November when I plan on visiting for the first time since 1976.

Do you know the Hamlin family in Gore. I think there was about 10 of them.

Cousins to me. The old man came from Kurow, my mather from Makarewa. I escaped when I was 2 years old.

Yeah, I know Kevin Hamlin, he's a hot rodder type (or use to be) and runs Carnaby Cars (car dealer) in Gore.

Is there anyone else, bar myself that finds MDU's infatuations with firearms just the slightest worrying

You mean the same infatuation you, I and most of the others on this thread have?

Mmmmmmm


NOT IN THE LEAST BIT.

Hey, in my defense, I don't look for gun manuals on the web

[Mr Merde]

I'll give you that one.

I love the way newbies try to find everything at once.

In my defence I still look for these resources as well but not as often as I used to.

Can't blame MDU for that. He is a bloody sponge when it comes to soaking up things about boom sticks.

Me, well Im of African birth, I had to teach myself whilst running away from lions. They seem to do much better that sticks.

Also, MDU, thanks for the Latte :P


(Sorry, I had one of those stupid, nieve questions posed to me by the sad, cloudy minds of youth today)

[0arbreaka]

The time has come for me to invest in another fine firearm, although this time I am unsure of what to buy, does anyone have any recomendations as to what I should get? I wouldnt mind getting something that I can have a bit of fun with, wouldnt mind a varmint rifle or a decent shotty. Open to most recomendations and offers.

Is this an open question.

Sort of like "I'm ready to buy a motorbike. Tell me which one to buy"


Horses for courses.

What do you want to do?

How much have you to spend?

WHat licence's do you have?

I cant advise you without any information and I doubt anyone else can.

Get specific. Varmit rifle is a start. Tell us more. Where do you intend to shoot, what do you intend to shoot?

Over to you


Mr
