I've just watched a youtube video on the Marlin XT-22R, and after reading what the guys on here have been talking about, maybe it'd be a better option for me.

Thoughts guys?

I'll be using it for foxes. Earlier this year we had a maximum of 16 different foxes on this place, with a couple of those being quite small. My neighbour believes there is a den where our two properties meet.

Might be of interest to you. All ready to go.

I love my volvo. She may not be pretty, but she's fast and does a real number on any foxes stupid enough to try and outrun her, or play chicken with her lol


Ever thought about inviting the local scrap metal dealer out ?

You could end up with a whole new lambing paddock, :) :D Just sayin.

I've thought about it, even talked to my husband about it.

However, every time I walk around to try and decide which cars will go, I find some reason why they can't and just have to stay. There are 3 cars on this place that I am not "attached" to, so maybe i'll let them go, but not the last.

Here's a pick of my pride and joy car. One day I'll restore her from the ground up. In the meantime, I'll continue to drive her on club reg until I sort out all the niggly little problems, and I can afford to put the time and money in that she needs to be brought back to her former glory.

By the way, she's 350SLC Mercedes. 1973 model.

The main difference between driving a Volvo and having a grope under a scotchmans kilt is ,,,,,,,,

You feel a much bigger d#*k, when your driving a Volvo.

Probably the same applies to mercs :lol:

This is my paddock shooting machine.
Lots of bars for getting that steady shot.
One day I'll restore her to her former glory too, :lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D ;) ;)

The 350 is a beautiful car. There aren't that many of them around these days. Plenty of 450SLC's though.

My husband bought me the 350SLC as an anniversary present, and about 12 months later, he bought himself a 350SE. Still nice, but not as nice as mine lol

Also, I love driving the Volvo. She's quick, responsive, reliable and pretty damned tough too. Easy for the kids to learn to drive in, and the added security of having such a tough car around you helps as well. There are that many d#%khead drivers around these days, I like the older (tough) cars rather than the pretty "plastic" ones.

As for parts, they're cheap. We import all of our parts from the US, which usually works out to be at least 3 times cheaper than buying within Australia, even with freight charges, and we get it sooner than buying from local places.

Now, I wonder how a gun rack would look in the back of my 740?!

Yeah matey,
But the pigs up here are bloody fast, and I knew I wouldn't have a chance in a Volvo or a Merc :lol: :lol: :D
So I pulled out all the stops.
