Verney-Carron Impact Inline rifle - a successor to the BAR?

Verney-Carron Impact Inline rifle - the successor to the BAR in Australia?

I handled one of these in France at St Etienne and was impressed with its handling. Might be called a pump action, but V-C calls it "in-line". Because the forend doesn't operate as the pump, instead it is fixed and the metal slide slides forwards to load the rifle.

As Aussies know, we don't have access to semi-auto firearms, but "pump actions" rifles are permitted. Sambar hunters used to love their BAR's and this could be the replacement rifle.

Calibres currently include the 9.3x62 which would be excellent for sambar, as well as pigs, other deer, and larger species, even buffalo. I could see it would be great for driven game in Europe too.

Other calibres currently include: 7x64; 270 WMS; 7mm Rem Mag; and 300 Mag. But I was told the .308 and .30-06 will be available in the future so excellent new options in the future for Australian medium game.

The trigger felt fine too.

The extended magazine of 5 shots would be handy too.

Trophy Arms of Essendon imports them and I see they are advertised on usedguns for about $1900.
