    I noticed some of you guys were talking about the AR-7 a while back. Well Henry have started making them again to tighter tolerances to try and fix accuracy and jamming problems. Looks like a handy little rifle.

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    One of the guys on the XT225 forum put up a thread about his mods to a no-longer-in-production Springfield "Scout" rifle (.22lr/.410 shot) to make it into more of a survival weapon (survival kit in stock recess etc) that he could carry easily on his bike in case he got into a survival situation while exploring off the beaten tracks.

    That AR-7 looks the business for that task, would make a great lightweight and small firearm to carry on the bike.

    Question is: Are there places you can ride a bike in NZ where it would be necessary to take a survival weapon in case you get stranded or are all our off-road tracks too accessible/tame to worry about?

    Not so much looking at a survival weapon, but as a pack rifle, and that XT forum is where I found out about this. Was a very tidy looking job he did on that combo gun aye?

    You hang out there as well, huh?

    Yes, Keith did a great job of the scout - as he does on all his projects. Bloody craftsman.

    That AR-7 would make an excellent pack rifle, seriously considering one for my survival kit, now.

    Nah. Need a heavier calibre and higher capacity for that place.

    Full auto option and a belt feed might be advantageous.

    Ammo - the other two suck up too much gas...

    I wish I knew more about guns...then again I also wish (sometimes) I was a bloke!

    But what would you guys say is a good gun for a chick to start learning with?

    and please, don't kick me out of this thread, I swear I'll behave!

    The canonical answer is a bolt-action .22LR.

    But, personally, I just want to take you out, hand you my Mosin Nagant model 38, and let you fire it without ear protection.

    The trusty .303 can be enough of a shock to the uninitiated. Play nice, ol' chap.

    007XX and 'uninitiated' do not belong in the same sentence.

    It's ok Wolfie, young Jrandom can try to play all he likes...I generally give back as good as I get!

    Thanks for the advice, jotted down for future reference.

    I'm considering a trip to the Waiuku rifle range one of these weekends with one of the chaps from Sportways (and maybe a couple of others) for a play with our M14s. You and XY would be welcome to join us, I'm sure.
