Thread: A semi-automatic rifle for the next hunting season

Until recently semi-autos were legally used and popular in NZ. Perhaps he is asking a knowledgable base a legitimate question. I personally know a lot of hunters who used semi's even though not my cup of tea.

I note that Horst mentions group hunt by which I assume he means a driven game hunt. In these hunts the game is on the move and not dawdling either. For these a fast second shot would be an advantage so semi auto rifles would be an advantage.

To be fair the post and profile doesn't mention Australia at all.

As mentioned he says he lives in Germany but the link is Aussie. My bullshit meter is tweaking near max with this one

Of course it is possible this could be the 2nd time I've been wrong in my life

For the chosen semi-automatic I was thinking about a Delta MultiDot HD 36 collimator. The set would be used strictly only for group hunting.

I would appreciate your help in choosing and your opinions.

Thank you and best regards.

Semi automatic weapons with a magazine capacity of more than two cartridges may not be used for hunting. (Germany)
Perhaps our poster has consumed too much Jagermeister ??

For a fast second shot a two shot mag would be more than ample.

If its a robot maybe it could use one of those semis the storm troopers used

From the photo Horst seems to be having a good laugh about something. Maybe it is us. Perhaps his hunting buddy got his lederhosen caught in a barbed wire fence. Time will tell.

A study was once done comparing Germans to Brits, Germans laughed at a wider range of jokes, conclusion being they have a better sense of humor. The Brit would of course defend himself and say he has a better developed sense of humour, but that still leaves him with a sourpuss face for more of the day.

Just don't mention the war...

John Cleese reckoned that the best remake of Fawlty Towers was the German one, and the episode they found the funniest was "Don't Mention the War"!
