The attitude of the WAPOL stems in part from their tendency to hire from the various member states within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and (particularly) Northern Ireland........

Quite a number of all ranks come with pre ordained views on private firearm ownership which they apply to their daily duties and advice to numerous ministers over the years.

Combined with the tendency to revert to an isolationist viewpoint means that they think they're leading the nation. Sadly, that way be a police state.

Apparently not.

ChrisPer here has more background on the topic, key individuals etc, but of the time I've been in WA, exactly half the police I've dealt with have had a pommy accent. Most of the ones i asked had been recruited from a UK police organisation.

I've got it at last....... Woo Hoo, Yee Haa.

I just had a look at the statement when I purchased the rifle and it is dated 10th of October last year. How's that for being mucked around by the Firearms Branch in Western Australia???

I very nearly relocated to the Northern Territory 7 years ago, in hindsight..... maybe I should of. At least I get to go there a few times a year to catch up with mates to fish and hunt.

Anyway, it's all done now, I've got it, and I'm wrapped. It's a well made rifle has upgraded wood from the standard model and a nice dark stock, with a good amount of figure. I've done a fair bit of clay shooting and this rifle comes to the shoulder quite well, very much like a shotgun indeed. (even considering the extra weight)I weighed it, and it comes in at 4.8kg's whilst my .404 comes in at 4.4kg's, so not too bad and it won't be any trouble carrying this around.

That's about as far as I've got with it so far and won't get a chance to shoot it for a bit, as I'm off chasing Red deer for the roar tomorrow, and for the second time this year. I went for a hunt two weeks ago and got a cracker 12 pointer, and a 10 pointer in the one morning....but that's another story.

When I get back I'll try to load some photo's of the .500 and of some deer too.

Glad to hear you finally got it, what a stuff around, anyway a good result but only because you stuck to your guns, if you pardon the pun.
