Refer me to your other thread crazy, sounds cool

Found this piece of 10/10 awesomeness.... possibly what you were referring to? Umm...still working out how to upload attachments.
Anyway it's the Sceszi&Fuchs double barrel bolt action and looks nothing short of amazing....85k later though
Also the 'Yarra Shelia' is such a bent name for a gun it'd be worth signing up for one based on that alone!

I perhaps should've asked " If proof could be (somehow) provided of an untamperable 2 shot semi auto, would that be grounds to approach the authorities to reclassify Cat D to state ' semi auto centrefire of more than 2 rounds'?"
Of course now the validity of a 2 shot semi auto is questionable however if it's effectively the same as a double barrel Cat B rifle then maybe it could work.
Motorcycle licences were kind of reviewed in a similar way. They're now power to weight based not cubic capacity....you can ride a neutered 600 on your P's. How about a neutered semi auto for Cat B.....

It's not like a semi-auto centre-fire rifle is useful on the range for target work,

At the risk of hijacking the thread, I do disagree with you on the above Rod. There are a number of practical shooting disciplines for which semi autos are useful if not required (3-gun being probably the most popular).

It's nothing to do with whether you need a second shot, it's about having the ability to take an immediate follow-up shot if it's required.
Semi-auto is the most humane way to hunt for that reason.
If somebody finds they actually hunt differently because they have a semi-auto that's their personal problem, it does not automatically apply to everybody else.
And it should never be about "need". We need air, we need water, and we need an occasional feed. Everything else is just stuff we want.
There is nothing wrong with somebody simply wanting to own and use a semi-auto if they wish to.
