Going to have a look at this tomorrow at $850 they are giving them away.I wish to cycle the action as I have heard all sorts of rumours.Its advertised as 5 plus 1.It looks like it may have interchangable chokes.

I'd hold out a little while longer and wait til they release their straight pull version. I've heard people were having extraction problems with their levers but the straight pull seems alright from what I've seen.

Synthetic stock and Nickel plating.

Apparently they float too, just chuck it into a dam and see what happens :sarcasm:

Made it to the gun shop.I have never been to this one before and it is very close to where I now live.Great staff and I checked out the Pardus and the action is fine.Like the store dude said :work it like you mean it: A camo Adler was parked next to it so I gave that a work out.It has a longer throw but quite slick.They had a couple of .22LR pump actions apparently they are Cat A.Bit of stuff to share with the crew next time we get together.One of my team is chasing a shotgun and .22LR at the moment he only has a .243 heavy barrel Ruger

Back in the good ol days I owned a Mossberg Mariner pump action shotgun. These were originally designed for the US Coast Guard and featured an all S/S construction on an Aluminium receiver coupled to synthetic stock and fore end. Winchester produced something similar a couple years later but in my opinion it wasn't as slick as the Mossberg.

The rabbits are back at the farm.There is a drain on the southern boundary and at night they come out and graze in the paddock.I am going to suggest to the team that we get one of these lever guns to give the rabbits a learning.

The Adlers do seem to work well for most. I'm happy with mine, faster than you'd think once you get used to them.

I've got a couple of Winchester 22 pumps, great fun......But If I was in WA I'd be looking at a good bolt action first. I understand you have limits on Cat A there? Accurate is better than fun if you have to make the choice.

I am still confused why you all think we get it bad here.Anyhoo I bought a 5 shot Winchester .22LR bolt action about 2 years ago for my mates grandchildren to plink with and they spend the weekends happy as they are 9 and 11 at the moment.Its me that wishes to have the pump .22 to play with.Its a simple process I fill in a form pay at the post office and 3-4 weeks later I receive a new copy of my licence with the new firearms listed and I go pick them up.Not real hard

With the advent of E-mail our local post is not fast.I have waited 8 Days to get a letter from 3.5 K away.I checked when it was posted.And we have got letters from England in 5 days go figure.This adds about 2 weeks to the process

I was under the misapprehension that you had trouble justifying purchasing more than one of the same caliber. A 1890,1906 or 62/A model Winchester is a fun pump action, no easy way to mount optics though.

I asked about the multiple firearm situation and it was explained to me that concerns are that if you have say 4 bolt action .308 rifles you could make a small swat team.My group has 4 licensed firearm owners who all have .243.I am not sure how many rimfires you could have before any one gave a hoot
