Introductions

Post by Kiwiroger »

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.

G’day Kiwiroger,

You a “jafa” or are you from a nice part of NZ.

Cheers

Yeah that’ll do 😂. I reckon most South islanders have trouble picking Aussies from Aucklanders 👍
