Ahh...
Wow...that bought back memories, then i drifted off into a brief daydream...

There i was walking inside the mallee lined perimeter of a freshly headed paddock at first light with every pocket full of field loads of No4's.
Im really tired from being out till 3 spotlighting, but i quickly sharpen up when i hear the rustle of stubble & see a grey flash accross my path, then a second grey flash...boom boom......
...boom...
Then another rustle & grey critter scrambling to safety....boom...
It took the first shot to wake up but i nailed all three cleanly without having to reload...

Thats when i came back to reality to realise in that scenario today, id have only dropped one of those bunnies...
And i only drop 2 pigeons out the farmers shed at first light instead of 5...
Fair dinkum how did we let this happen i sigh to myself...!!!
Stoopid govt.

Dam i want one...!!! :violin:

Good luck to ya wrenchman... :thumbsup:

the one thing that gets alot of guys about this gun is it will only hold 3 rounds and is fine becouse some of the things i hunt i am only allowed 3 rounds and guns have to have a plug so they wont hold more.
you guys most likely seen a few of these they were makeing them in the 70s and 80s and 1994 was the last year they were made.

Unfortunately a lot of people who started shooting after 96 would never have had the opportunity!!! :thumbsup: :drinks:
