    Everyone needs an HMR. Firstly they are the best rabbit and possum round and secondly and more importantly you will have another rifle in the safe.

    I have a 13.5" hmr,never run it over a crony before and after but I don't regret doing it at all,so much easier and faster to get on target from the back of the truck-and if it's a long shot the .223 gets picked up off the rack instead

    It's just a 22 sling handy as when you go walking. If you can't find one let me know. Mate at mata sports world got it in for me
