    Taking out a beef steer

    CoRoMo's drawing/technique is spot on....that is exactly what they taught us when I was studying to become a veterinarian. A .22 long rifle correctly used (placed) is more than adequate - obviously in built up areas/confined spaces a captive bolt is used. Regards Peter.

    Remington Custom Shop Rifles

    Thankyou all for your advice - all of it excellent. There aren't many custom shop rifles in Australia hence my interest. They want top dollar so a range test and authentication makes sound sense. Don't know if they will come at this however. I'm buying this as a deer rifle not a closet...

I don't shoot pistols over here (yet) so am not up to date on regs but you can only shoot up to .357/9mm on standard pistol licence.

    Hi from Australia

    GaryL - Aussie troops are well respected worldwide and by their countryman (apart from how some Viet Vets were treated, which was a disgrace).There are numerous examples in military history to back up this claim but I like the quote by Rommel when explaining to his boss (Hitler) why the german...
