If he feels that way it must be hard for him to do that sort of work. I could never do it professionally....i had to shoot Roos for about 6 hours every night at Cunnamulla for approx ten days straight when there was a plague on. Constant repetition of killing, the sound of the rifle and the blood got to me by the end. I was sick of it and pleased to stop ...

You're right, I think the buying opportunities for the long haul over the next few months are going to be quite good.

Put a deposit on a Winchester 9422M yesterday. Hopefully get it in a week or two, apparently the permits are a bit slow at the moment.

An AICS AT chassis for the young bloke's .308", minor adventure as dealer turned up nil stock, 5 mins before receiving his email I saw used one on SSAA site.
Located in VIC was revealed by phone call to be 10 minutes distant, later model than mine with genuine skins so young bloke can have the one my .223 currently sits in.
Saved some $$$ too, dealer advised that stock due mid year will be $1650.00, paid $1200.00 for an essentially new item.
