    Yup and I will even supply a pack of ammo for the occasion
    RULE 4: IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET BEYOND ALL DOUBT


    To be a Human is to be an Alien, ask the animals, We invade this world and we are killing it, we are destroying the earth and nobody gives a fuck except for the animals

    Thanks for all the advice and opinions. I went and got one. Broke the barrel in and put a few more rounds through it to sight it in on Saturday. Very happy with it. Will be going out to a large forestry block this weekend to knock over a few goats and hopefully a pig or two.Name:  033.jpg

    All to do now is upgrade the scope.

    I've found when you've got an animal in your scope compared to paper, it doesn't matter how much recoil a rifle has, your so focused on the animal you don't even think about it

    This comment is the most accurate on this forum in ages. Adrenalin adsorbs more recoil the a limb saver.
