    FAVS Stradivari -very ugly, expensive and short.

    840mm overall length centre fire single shot with a 740mm barrel... That's 33" oal with a 29" barrel...
    It certainly doesn't win any beauty contests, and you'll probably want a heat shield for your scope, and upgraded hearing protection, but there it is, the ultimate single shot bushpig.
    This is an even shorter version... 700mm 27.5" oal, 630mm 24.8" barrel, and the shortest - an astonishing 570mm 22.5" oal with a 500mm 19.7" barrel.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    The short one is for shooting out of your ute window when you're already profoundly deaf.

    Letting go with that thing in .270 Win inside the ute cab would lead to having no windows in said ute.

    For sure. I once shot a .270 out of a two car garage with the roller door up without hearing protection and that was painful enough.

    Oh it's a gun. I did think it was an unusual name for a woman.

    It looks inherently evil. Better ban single shot guns too.

    Cindy, looked up with sudden puzzlement and asked her first intelligent question, "Uncle Chris, how can a rifle be a shot gun?"

    Short and medium are already less than 762mm, so Cindy has her wish!
