Don't know if it meets the legal requirement for Muntjac what about a rifle in 22 Hornet?

Well that would certainly deal with Muntjac however I am not sure I have ever seen one over here and I was thinking of something a tad kinder to shoot

.243 ticks the box and I had not considered a Win 70 however they are lovely little rifles. I had also thought about PH.

Hmmm, if you have the pennies for it, how about a Schulz and Larsen Legacy ? Proper awesome accuracy, switch barrel and traditional looks...

At some 2,65kgs the Legacy is tempting especially as they are now in the country however from memory they only go to 6x45 which holds no appeal to me right now.

Having said that a third S&L would always be good from a DK viewpoint :)

We'll let Christel have the casting vote shall we?

She has suggested I bung a different barrel on the M97 DL Sporter or use my old BSA .303 Sporter...

Wise words...

The BSA with 150 grain Gamekings is a beast and light to carry however a bit of an overkill (No pun intended) for smaller things...

Oh, somethings can't be too dead....

I have recently acquired a 222 and I am well impressed. I was shooting it to today out to 200 yards. Great fun.
