Hmm, so first off, it has to be something I can acquire legally here in Australia.


I'd really like something in either .308 or .275 Rigby (7mm mauser), 10 shot mag, the best scope on the market (that cleans itself and does the dishes as well as clean the rifle too for the price) a trigger that breaks with the teeniest bit of extra force to it, cock on opening action alongside a spring loaded mechanism to work the bolt better, bloody brilliant wood stock for hunting, or a full polymer tactical stock with aimpoint sights and a flash supressor, barrel length of 18.5 inch, thick stock with good recoil pad and somewhere to shoot all day long with ammo that works everytime, no recoil and the bullets must fly no less than 40 kilometres before hinting that they are dropping.
If something doesn't work, apply rule .303!

Or...just get a cat D license and acquire M107 in .50 cal :D. That'd work too

Something practical but pretty, maybe a new Mauser left hand with 20" mid weight barrel in 7mm08..... With a nice Ziess scope around 4-20x50 & zVarmint reticle. Would do me for hunting and casual target work. The Mauser could be dropped for Sako, Montana or anything quality with 3 lugs & CRF.

in many parts of the countery here you can only hunt with a shot gun so they make the best of it

Why a mossberg? Why not the Remington 870 (that's much better).

I have them both the mossberg is a little cheaper and with the safety on the mossberg it is good for left handed to. But both are great if you like one more then the other

Alright, your choice of course, I'd just be a little more partial to remington, that's all.

Their was a time I felt the same way the 870 is a smoother action till my teen needed a shot gun that would work for a lefty and it was about a1/3 less my son is 20 now and has 2 one he got used and the gun is older than him and he has never had any problem with each

If I could have but one gun, it would not be a rifle. But would be a Remington 12 gauge in 3 inch magnum with a selection of barrels and accessories.
I've been asked: "How many guns do you need to have?" My answer remains the same: "One more."
