This property would need enough capital to have it's own insurance so there would be no need to align with either of the shooting assn's.. I would invite everyone interested in Accurate rifles to come have some fun but with the previso that if you want to rule the world or feather your own nest then the slamming of the front door would be the last you heard from me ..Ahh Nivana..JR..Jeff Rogers
This and a team of slaves to run it for me, so all I had to do was sit at the bench and shoot.
If I won 20 million, the first thing I'd buy would be a royal H&H double .577 NE, one for sale now on the H&H website for only 102,000 pounds! The next thing I'd do would be set up a small company to turn out high quality rifles, along the lines of Cooper and Kimber, with three action lengths like sako did but based on a modified rem 700, with as much interchangeability of parts as I could get. I think I could get ppl to pay a little extra for a really nice rifle that comes with a test target less than 0.75 MOA at 100 yards.
One can only dream......
New V8 TD Cruiser tray (pimped out to the eyeballs)
New Outback (Wifey)
24ft KevlaCat with twin 300V8 Yammies
5m Plate centre console 115 Yammie 4st
Property galore (South coast NSW, MId-North coast acerage, Exmouth, Dundee beach NT)
A Sea-King helicopter
Loads of guns mostly Blasers
The North Straddie pub
Probably have none left for outboard fuel or AVgas!!!

i understand all of them except the sea king
isn't that the one the navy crashed in timor a few years back and we lost people on?
wasn't it taken out of service for ages till the cause was known?
or are you talking a new one not a surplus (flogged out) one?
Mate I would like to think I could get a new model. Other choppers are fine but mine would need the load carrying ability of a Sea king. Beer, ice, shimano Tiagras, lure wallets, guns and ammo......Not to mention the eskies full of fish on the way back.....If I win my 20million, I will email you and maybe you could give me some ideas on a better chopper to suit my needs. Until that very happy day, I will just leave it as a hypothetical...

Mate,
You have to be ****ing joking. Gympie? Thats my hometown. Gun capital of Australia or so they say. I've got a very strange feeling that I probably know you.
P.S. You cant be opening up a gunshop in Gympie because big Ron has the monopoly on that!
First of all I would heavily invest within renewable energy, that is Solar, Wind, Geo thermal and bio diesel. I would also invest within Asciano.
No doubt I would then buy a twin hulled cruiser and a ranch on the South Coast with as much land as possible where I would breed endurance Horses, Arabians and have a few Deer lurking about.
I would also buy a house at Sylvania Waters and get that Jeep that I have always wanted along with a Sako TRG chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum and I would definitely run for Parliament again.
Well they are my ideals, I dare say that Leanne would have others.
Its nice to dream.

He may have the monopoly on that mate but his service is shit.... not to mention his premises.... Im sure a well setup shop with the right people running it, could give him a real run for his money...
i probably do know you mate...its hard not to know everyone in Gympie
Yep i would buy a property that i could put a 1000 yard Rifle range on and fit the whole template.
No hand guns allowed strickly for rifle shooters.
Butts and a Movable covered fireingline like a long low trailer with benches and hydraulic legs so when in possition very stable.
And another section of range for short range benchrest and field rifle etcand made so all can be used at same time.
the other 15mill stick in the banch and use the interest for upkeep and play.
Nicest way I can put it!
.... thats mandatory if I got 20million! Someone had to say it!
