What rifle would you buy planning on resale later? Looking for a 308 or 243 heavy barreled hunting rifle to use for the 3 years I am in Oz. What has good resale? Are Savages frowned upon in Australia? I can build a killer Savage. | ||

308 of any of the mainline names Savages certainly are not frowned upon here. Posts: 87 | Location: Victoria Australia | Registered: 07 September 2002 | |||

Cool, probably do Howa, Remington, or Savage. Unless I can find something else on the cheap. | |||

Sako rifles hold their value the best in my opinion - especially the old model ones form the 90's. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

I guess it depends on what kind of deal I am going to get. Going to probably try a heavy barreled Howa and put a Wild Dog or Bell and Carlson stock on it. Stinking Wild Dog is expensive isn't it. Kind of like the price of AI stocks in America. | |||

I notice Ruger rifles are pretty cheap here this year. In some calibres the barrel weight is just right for carrying in the hills - but then you want a heavy barrel so may not care. The SSAA magazine classifieds seems to be full of used .243 and .308 rifles for sale. A good second-hand rifle should hold its value better than a new one. | |||

Ruger would work. Not going to be to picky, as I may not get to export it. That if I buy a Mark II I can do a lot of work to it, like a new trigger and a HS Precision stock. Thanks! I'll be in Melbourne for the airshow if you want to get some beers. | |||

When is the airshow, D99? My quick googling only shows Avalon 2011. I live on the way from the airport, so might be able to meet up. Cheers - Paul | |||

Yep, that will be me. Look for a fat bald guy wearing a green flightsuit, Navy desert digital cammies, Navy desert cammies, Navy woodland cammies, or Navy blue digital cammies. | |||

D99, I didn't bother to note what time of year it is. Send me a PM close to the date and we might be able to meet up. Cheers - Paul | |||
