Leverguns in New Zealand!!!
So the Government has rushed through some poorly constructed legislation not only banning Military Style Semi- automatics but any attached or detached magazine over a 10 round capacity. This affected a whole range of leverguns including my Rossi octagonal in .357/.38 which takes 12+1. Everyone is ta...

Re: Mystery Rifle - Shotgun
With a percussion muzzled loaded shotgun did they put the shot on top of a ball. Either way the risk for leakage would have been very high. I would imagine the ball would not be in there two tightly. Did they even use a patch?

Mystery Rifle - Shotgun
I saw this shotgun in a museum today. It had two barrels and four hammers? I would be interested to discover whether anyone knows anything about it? The strangest thing I have ever seen!

Hi Earlmck, I calculate your family best as 68. (That is Cathy's) According to the rules a paper hit equals a 7. What do you think Griff? Your last group, though low, was very good.

Here is our range and some bits and pieces.
The 50 yard target is on the far right. Interestingly the B6 target when moved to 50 yards is the same size as the 50m target. I have posted a few images to give folk an idea. Including a practice target which has the outline of the size of the B6 target.

Re: Competition Shoot
SASS have a "buckaroo" category for individuals aged 13 and under. They use .22 ammo. If someone wants to set up a "buckaroo" competition that is great.
I suggest we stick to center fire .32 to .45 cal pistol.
Scopes? Refer to Rule 2.
