Bolt action rifles, lever action, pump action, self loading rifles and other miscellaneous longarms.

I dunno, personally I think the 416R would be perfect for home defence..... If you were being robbed by elephants :lol:


France sounds fair to me.

Oh don't worry, I'm really for those bastard home invading elephants.

400gr of lead waiting for them.

Other puny calibre rifles... What man would want you now?

If someone is invading your home with a baseball bat, you pull out your hunting rifle and drop them, I think you will have problems in court.

Read the Act, in all states it covers the same, 462a of the crimes act 1958, 'read it, reasonable and proportionate response, read it all, follow what it says you will be ok.

If he is 6'5' you are 5'6' you challenge him/it/they, they kept coming, 1 shot only you drop him/it/they, that is reasonable and proportionate as you WERE not laying in wait, just happened to be cleaning your rifle, no issue.

Knowing is better than guessing.

the racking of a Remington Model 870 or any pump action shotgun.

watching movies on the laptop. heard someone downstairs as triggered my early warning system (bells attached to door knob and steel can next to back door) . grabbed the 870. racked 4 shells of buckshot whilst walking down. heard the perps run. good thing i didn't have to shoot them, ammo is expensive now haha.
