Agreed again, but I will also say I detest most all semiauto hunting riflea due to poor reliability and mediocre accuracy.I except military rifles from this judgement due to their trackrecord of reliability(not necessarily accuracy).

I am biased somewhat by owning a Rem 742 "jammomatic" in 30.06.I do not hold this bias against semiauto shotguns but they are not rifles.

If I were going close range with bear,cougar, or pigs in the states I will take that reliable Double ever time.
