Both tunofun and I would benefit from a unique situation here in Australia's Northern Territory, whereby the government hunting reserves are closed to centre-fire rifles during the water-fowl season. Unfortunately, this means most of our 'dry' season, which is the best time for pig-hunting on the reserves.

The four-month goose-season is designated 'shotguns only', though solids and SG are permitted for pigs. Fortunately, we have been able to convince Parks & Wildlife that a rifled-choke gun is still a shotgun, as it has little range advantage over a smooth-bore slug, and is potentially safer due to improved accuracy.

A Paradox gun therefore has the advantage of being loaded for goose, duck, or boar, with a reasonable expectation of being able to handle a buffalo should the need arise. Its the perfect firearm for a dry-season day-out on the Harrison Dam Hunting Reserve!
