G'Day Fella's,

(Edit- I forgot to say, I'm glad to hear you blokes aren't constantly confronted with a need to defend yourselves with firearms! Hommer).

Ripp, I used to work as the gunsmith at a local gun shop and I once had a customer who was a "Digger" (this is the affectionate name Australians give to Australian Soldiers/Servicemen (as they were always "Digging Bloody Fox Holes"). In this case, this gentleman was a WW II Veteran) and he told me that "If you are a good person and you didn't start the fight, it is always better to be tried by Twelve than to be carried by Six"!
No truer words were ever spoken!!!

9.3, you won't get any complaints from me!
Canberra is the Capital City of Australia and is also referred to as "The Bush Capital".
We have a series of closely settled urban areas with substantial areas of rural land, reserves etc, separating these urban areas. The rural areas are generally farmed by "Lease Holders" and a couple of mates of mine have leases.
"M.T." in particular has always had problems with Town Dogs chasing and or attacking his stock (sheep & cattle), so "M.T." prefers the .220 Swift for fixing this problem!

The up side of this for me is that within 15 minutes of leaving home, I can be hunting anything from Rabbits, Foxes and at times, Goats ,Pigs and Fallow Deer!

It's not all "Beer and Skittles" though, as I also have to do my bit for social responsibility/volunteer work and this comes in the form of helping these mates and other Lease Holders to cull the Kangaroos on these leased rural areas. While the people of Canberra do a pretty good job of culling hundreds of "Roo's" with there cars each year, I generally still manage to shoot at least 300 Roo's, most years.
The culling is done by spotlighting at night, with my .222 or .223 and head shooting the poor bloody creatures. It may sound glamorous but it really is, a prick of a job!!!
