Hi Louis and Rothhammer1,

Thank you for the tips; I'll see what .30-06 ammunition is available and try some out once the scope's been fixed.

Regarding the magazine plate: I'm still unable to take photos, but the bottom of the plate nearest the trigger-guard has the same Steyr logo. However, instead of "STOEGER", the word "STALKER" has been engraved, albeit with less of a pronounced arch. I assume this would have been done for the NZ market, where the British term "deer-stalking" is commonly used, rather than "deer-hunting".

All the best,

Spikey.
