Hi all, I'm still new to your beautiful country, I came from South Africa and want to get back into air rifle shooing. I've had a trigger finger from a very young age and gave up my rifles and pistols when I moved to NZ. I primarily done pigeon pest control at factories in SA, I also enjoyed target shooting with forum members. In the end my last two rifles were, HW 97kt 0.2 (5mm) and TX 200hc walnut. 177 So I would like to do a bit of trigger pulling again and before I buy my first file here I'd just like to put out my feelers and make sure I can even take the rifle out the cupboard, are there any members that get together in the Christchurch area to throw some lead down range? Thanks, and looking forward to the forum. |

Howzit Boet, Welcome to the forum. None of the regular posters are from Christchutch, but you never know, someone might pop their head up out of the wood work  ------------- Walk quietly, but carry a big stick. |

Thanks Pete, Appreciate the reply, yip hoping for something before I throw some cash at a air rifle. Atleast being well versed in air rifles I don't come with the newbie question of which is better Weihrauch or Air Arms springer? |

Hi Smith, welcome here. Hopefully someone from the SI chirps up for you. There is a NZ Airgunners facebook page where you might get in touch with someone. Just make sure you don't try and buy or sell, or even use those words there as the algorithms flag it and can shut us down. Billbob is from the South Island pretty sure.
