By pigs you mean boar? Like bacon pigs? We call groundhogs pigs here so not sure. I would not hunt boar with a .22 but I would dust a whistlepig.

I like the Marlin Model 60, but if I understand correctly auto loaders are banned in Australia. New in box my Model 60, blued, synthetic stock and cheap Chinese 4X was US$ 150 out the door. Marlin's 39A is great but pricey, same for CZ 455 American. I'd be looking at Marlin and Savage bolt actions.

No, Auto Loaders or more correctly Semi Auto & Full Auto are not banned in Australia. They are restricted to those of us that have a genuine reason to own and use one.

I have owned a Marlin Semi Auto in the past and not for long. I wasn't impressed with it at all.

One of the European makes was by far a much better outfit and far more reliable.

They're allowed for primary production and professional pest control and culling.

For recreational hunting or target shooting which makes up the majority of us we're limited to manual actions.
