England 

When can we come? In the UK we are starting to get boar in bigger numbers but they recommend a much bigger calibre than 22-250 (270+) 22-250 is only a fox calibre in the UK as legislation means you can't use it on deer either. But it is a great flat shooting rifle, is it popular in Aus? DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

the good thing about the 22-250 is how far it will shoot flat
mine is sighted for about 300m
i have no trouble knocking over pigs with it
by the way youre welcome to come Wink

I have used the 22-250 on foxes here but prefer a .243 or even my fathers' old sporterized .303 for pigs, goats etc. The .303 is apparantly quite effective on water buffalo too. Worst gun I ever used was a lever action 44-40 which was accurate to about 10 paces. Disco 2 TD5 "Good"
Disco 3 TDV6 "Better"
Disco 4 HSE SDV6 "Best"
The older I get, the better I was.

You are right about that Nik
the 44/40 is a shocker, i had one when i was a kid
i cant wait to go to my mates place, the wide open spaces and
clear blue skies remind me of my youth. my parents had a farm in the
riverina
ill load up the Disco and put the bikes on the trailer and head off
about 7am on monday the 10th. cant wait
