    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Its pretty harmless from range, just when your right next to it can be a bit noisey. I think if your worried about noise we should just have a blanket suppressor rule, stops complaints from the get go and any future hassles if they are already pricks about forestry work. Much nicer to be around too.

    Savage 11 lightweight - 5.5lb from factory
    @Tahr I remember ordering mine about the time you got yours
    I think Sportways still has a few on the shelf with their closing down sale.

    I saw the American Model 14 in there yesterday, $600 odd down from $900 something. Don't recall seeing the lightweight hunter but wasn't really looking for another rifle.

    Usually 1300ish, but Sportways listed one in .223 in their closing down catalogue at $950.

    It's been tormenting me for weeks, but don't think the timing is quite right..

    Someone else buy it if they still have it and tell us, so I can stop the "should I, shouldn't I"

    Last week of their closing sale is this coming week.
