This one by this man

His mane is Wind and he is a phenominal shot. He is ringing steel at 1000 yards standing with a 38-55. popular myth is that this cant be done. I have been talking to him via e-mail and he made the offer for the rifle today. I think I am going to say yes.

I use to do that kind of stuff with my good Mk111 303.

Fire the shot, crank the bolt open end catch the empty case, sit up - and then hear the sound of the bullet strike!

Here's what one ant-gun lobbyist has said about Gun City's Promotion

http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/nation...ign-under-fire

Anti-gun lobbyist Mike Meyrick says the advert sends the wrong message of owning firearms just for the sake of it. The former police officer believes it is irresponsible and should be pulled

and here's what the NZ Herald has previously reported about said anti-gun lobbyist

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=10008083

A former Huntly senior sergeant, now a lawyer, knew looking at child pornography was illegal but he did it anyway, a court has heard. Police say more than 300 images of child pornography were found on 57-year-old Mike Meyrick's computer hard drive and floppy disks after his wife and daughter reported him to police.

Well, that's his credibility shot isn't it (pun intended).

Cool little rifle - I'd have it

**Indiana_Jones** · 3rd September 2011, 09:55

Sweet little looking gun there. Someone will be very pleased

Nice, a good 10/22 was probably the best option, really. Most likely to be an upgrade for someone and actually get used.

What on earth is a project?

A "project" is a way to keep 50 unemployable retards off of the dole, sat in an office devising ways to get the most useless piece of shit into service at the most unaffordable price.
A prime NZ example would be the HMNZS Charles Upham.

The Charles Upham had a solution in place for its sea keeping whilst empty.

Another large grey transport ship has had to have ballast added in the super structure since then.

Call me old fashioned but I'd have thought buying new barrels (or whatever) for the Steyr, 203s grenade launchers, Minimis etc would be a one month job. What on earth is a project?

Politics and bureaucracy get in the way of nice simple solutions.

$44K for a sniper rifle? Seems a bit rich to even me.
