Hello to all fellow BB members, no guessing where I'm from !
I've been lurking around on the forum for a while reading all there is to know on the k95 from all you guys that use them and it's been very useful to me.
I ended up ordering a k95 Black edition just before Christmas just in time before the price rise in January. I ended up going for a .308 mainly because of availability of ammo and components. It was a case of 6.5x55/ 308/ or a rimmed case probably 7x57 r, possibly could have gone with a 270 but seeing I've used a .308 for 30 + years stuck with something familiar. Probably a bit boring but they work well in most circumstances.
I hope to get a rimmed calibre next if I need to scratch that itch, always liked 7x57 so may go with that. It sounds like everyone who gets a k95 and seriously uses them don't have any bad things to say about them which gave me confidence in ordering mine.
Now I have a 7-8 month wait at least in this covid world , so something to look forward to .
I'd be interested in any comments from members as to my choice of k95 and caliber and any suggestions would be appreciated.

Never managed to get to the Sth Island. Caught some fantastic trout on the Nth Island a few times
Jafa? "Just another f...g aussie"?

I hunt, I shoot, I camp, I fish. They are the great reset buttons in my life.

Welcome aboard mate
Life is too short to hunt with an ugly dog.
