The whole 'scrub rifle' thing

[jeretilda]

For me it can make a big difference, when your rifle is over your shoulder and you duck under a tree branch if you know the barrel isn't higher than your head then you can leave the gun on your shoulder and just duck under.

If it sticks above your head you have to take the gun off your shoulder every time.

The shorter barrels of my RSI Rugers are definitely handy in the Lignum bush and ducking under branches when stalking the pigs.

I have done the steyr scout thing for all the reasons above, weight, and ease of getting through the thick stuff mainly

Yeah ok, I can see the sugar cane needing it.

I'm in NSW so nothing like that to think of for me.

Obviously you've never been North of the Richmond River Pigs and Cane up the warzzo

Hey Westy, Ever been to the Clarence River? Cane fields and pigs and foxes thick around that area...

Good to see one person who managed to resist the Ruger Scout
