Chris-NZ Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Here's an example of a NZ deer rifle, well one version anyway. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=603969412 Built just round the corner from home by the NZ Hunter lads. Dunno if I'd like to hump it up the hills here but you have a decent chance of tipping them over past 600yds on a windy day and definitely 1000yds on a calm day. Ammo isn't very cheap though- the projectiles are about two quid each. Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz6br Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Some lump that mate, I'd like a play with it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 The high-volume brake makes them very shootable though you do need some top level ear protection. Without a brake, they are plain vicious as you might guess looking at the size of the round. Uses ~145grs of powder behind the 400gr CE proj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 That'd give the firearms dept a heart attack if you asked for that for deer. Mind you I'd love to see the look on their faces. I'd love to have a play with that just to say I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
