    Yea, I would say she was just a bit tipsy. She did manage to spill half a glass of wine on the couch.

    Besides, it was all you, they didn't really talk to me much.

    She was a good sort - and that's the end of it. But it's easy to blur the lines just a little when telling the story.

    Now - back to guns... that US contact...
    That's a poor effort, give me 1/2 an hour and I'll make you up a decent story.

    Im thinking of getting a firearms licence next year, what sort of rifle would be good for me? Im in auckland so its not as if im going to be hunting deer or what not, I think just the occasional possoum and a bit of target down at a rifle range (any ideas of some nice auckland rages, I went to a pistol club once and they were all fat old guys with nerdy pistols with scopes and laszers.....)

    I was thinking a little 22? I recently got my mate a rugar 10/22 for his 21, it was a very nice rifle.

    Are you allowed to crusie around some of the back roads and shoot on random peoples properties?
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Go .22, don't bother with a pistol, its a whole new kettle of fish

    Ruger 10/22's are damn nice rifles. Lots of mods can be done to make them unique too. I own a Stirling Model 20a .22 and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Bit hard to get your hands on one these days though.

    I would seriously rethink the idea of cruising around shooting on folks properties. It wouldnt be long before the cops got you, or you ended up with a bullet in your arse for all your troubles.

    Get in touch with some KB'ers up your way that wouldnt mind showing you the ropes and maybe take you along to a bit of a shoot. If you are ever down my way, send us a PM, I know of a couple of blocks where you could plink off a couple of rounds. I also don't mind showing anyone new to firearms safe handeling skills.

    On a side note and as an extra.

    If there is ANYONE in Christchurch or surrounding regions that are new to firearms or want a bit of an education into the safe handeling, cleaning or sighting of rifles, please don't hesitate to contact me. I know of a couple of places now where we could go to fine tune shooting skills if needed.
    I can give you a few tips on shooting too. By no means am I an expert, but Im willing to share what knowledge I have in an effort to get you to shoot safely and more accuratly.

    I would prefer showing someone the ropes than hear them shooting themselves in the foot per say.

    Im sure there are guys around the country with the same ideas as I.

    Most people buy a .22LR first, although to be honest, I'd say you'd be more likely to get good use out of a nice centerfire, say a .243. Do some real hunting. No reason not to; plenty within easy driving distance of Auckland. Join the NZ Deerstalker's Association (NZDA) - they often arrange hunting trips around the NI that members can tag along on.

    Hell, when it comes to rifles, splash out and buy both - you can pick up a Norinco JW15 bolt-action .22 brand new with a scope and suppressor for about $300, and a package deal on, say, a Savage .243 will set you back in the order of $1,000.

    And don't forget that duck season will shortly be upon us. You might consider purchasing a shotgun.

    The NZDA Auckland and North Auckland branches have rifle ranges at Riverhead that you can use if you're a member. Regular target shoots on Sundays.

    Oh yeah, and if I were you, I'd watch what I said about the fat old guys with nerdy pistols...

    Not unless you fucking ask first. Don't be rude and stupid.

    In my experience, farmers north and south of Auckland with goats or rabbits running around on their farm tend to be more than happy to come to appropriate arrangements with polite, respectable gentlemen who knock on the front door and ask nicely.

    Really? I ended up with a Stirling 20P that I didn't even want in an 'arms trade' (*ahem*). I'd trade it in a second...what a piece of poo.

    The Remington 597 I bought of a fellow BK'er is a much better weapon, in every respect.

    PS - On the .243 front, Fish is right. It's a good round to shoot, not much kick, quite versatile and very flat, although it is quite loud. I use mine for goat killing, but you could just as easily shoot smaller animals and it can be used for the smaller end of the Deer scale. Granted if someone offers me a good price for it, i'd get myself a Remington 700 in .308, but that would be more for cool factor than any practical purpose.

    To be honest, if I had to choose, I'd rather have a .243 than a .308. Heck, a .243 is just a necked-down .308 in any case. A lighter, faster, flatter-shooting projectile that'll kill any animal you're likely to encounter within 200m so long as you don't hit it in a damn-fool location. What's not to love?

    Hell, I've seen animals get up and run faster than I can after taking a bad hit from an expanding 200gr bullet at about 2800fps out of the Mosin Nagant. Nasty shit.



    Hunting is all about bullet placement, not projectile energy.

    Ahhh, you went wrong with the 20P. Those were the newer models werent they? I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole aye.

    Those Rems are damn nice rifles too.
