Now I am considering both, thanks to you! Re info - no idea, will start a thread in a bit for VIC. Let's keep this one on topic.

On the speed line... personally I reckon it's damn ugly. But that's just my taste. It's sako money, or more, but not as pretty as my sakos.

From practical point of view I'd love one as a pig gun with a red dot but it's got too much shiny walnut for me to really want to drag it through the scrub. Be great if they made a synthetic though, and possibly in something a bit smaller than 30-06.

Agreed... very ugly firearm that's too flashy to knock around with .... looks like a poofy frog hunters firearm.

Id be interested in that action in a 12 gauge if it looked like the Remington 1100 and a .22 lr if it looked like a 10/22 synthetic / stainless.

I agree the rifle looks...meh, something about the sights. But the shottie on the other hand looks the goods.

Whats SGC?

Re precident. Yep, absolutely. Common freaking sense... Hopefully there will be more leaver release rifles now. I'd like one. Definitely in 12ga. And in 223, 22LR and 308. Unfortunately I am not invested in 30-06 to want one. And I have different expections of what I'd like from 300wm. But, anything 308 and smaller, I'd love it. Also seems to be on the heavier side. I don't like that for hunting.

Well, considering what a decent shotgun costs, $2500 is not that much for a shotgun. The 3k upwards for centrefire I don't think I would like.

Does this qualify as a "decent" shotgun though?

To me it's just over-priced gimmickry, I can find better things to throw my money at :-)

Regardless if people pick them up this is huge, what we need now is someone to get a License to reproduce the more affordable AR and other platform Lever actions.

We will never have mass adoption among shooters when the pricing is high, tooling them and licensing the designs to be made here in AUS would be the greatest thing to happen to choice among firearms in a long time.

You give shooters more choice, you'll get more shooters.
I'd like to see the numbers behind how many new firearms owners picked up the Adler as their first firearm, I think the numbers would be very supportive of another well priced addition to the limited options in Australia.

Only ones capable of doing it AFAIK would be Lithgow, which would be an amazing feat and also ensure we don't have people turned away due to a "no name" manufacturer kinda how we had NIOA behind the Adler which reassured lots of shooters.

I agree completely, the price is reasonable for the shotty, and I'm glad its been classed as a CAT A/B because I bloody want one!

Looks like the SFFP had something to do with it getting reclassified in Vic.

From what I understand the 12 month "temporary reclassification" lapsed and that's why it's Cat B, looks like SFFP has been working to ensure that during the 12 months that we don't have it "permanently reclassified" which is good work.

Now that the "stop&go" or lever actuated system has been brought into AUS anything else is going to only have issues with the "military appearance" laws, we remove them, we can finally have some choice in the way our firearms operate while being within our laws.

It's stupid to say, oh the firearms itself isn't the issue, it's just the way it looks.

YOU GOT ME.

perhaps......

but until the NEXT gazette is published, The fat lady has yet to draw an extended breath and belt out a huge FFFFFAAARRRRKKKKKKKKYYYYUUUUUUUOOOOO to Mikacs gang of so and sos....

This whirlwind of excitation is based on a revised re-categorisation of it NOT appearing in yesterday's gazette.....thats it.....NO advice from the pirate gang confirming the firearm returns to its cat-B!!

We know the Vic gov are a bunch of incompetents and are possibly simply behind schedule to draw up a permanent re-cat, lets hope not, but if this is the final (lack of) word it is INDEED HUGE..... bigger than perhaps many thought, it mean our future will involve many more semi-auto/hydrids.... I see a lever release AR10 with timber furniture.....as long as it is not black, and doesn't resemble an 'obviously' more dangerous and lethal black stocked example......

We WILL beer-on....
