I can't use it were I live (scare the living crap out of the neighbours for 2 miles)
Bought it to take to Russia - but that not going to happen now for 2 years at least
Worth 4-5k Euro over there. Mind you - those chaps who hunt Boar drives are super rich and just like to show off something that their mates don't/can't have

@Sarvo hope when you go your not flying into St Petersburg. Saw the other day that all firearms are banned from coming through that port just thought I'd give you the heads up. Make sure you take really warm boots and gloves you get very cold while standing waiting during the drives. I ended up buying some cheap snow boots as my feet went like ice blocks on my last driven boar shoot and that was only in France. Good only knows how cold it gets out there!
Liked the second utube video of all the close calls. Ha when they come in man they come in fast! Most of the guys I shoot with in France do so over open sights our have quick detach mounts as each drive is different. You can be standing in the thick stuff for one and in the open for the next.
Hope you get out there.
I'd like to try Turkey as being a Muslim country the general population don't touch boar as it's a dirty animal so they get very BIG.
Oh love the rifle!
