    Is there a rifle you wish you 'd never got rid of?

    There are 2: one was the perfect bush "pig"- a Ruger 44 carbine semi auto 4 shot in .44 Magnum. 6 lbs in weight,18.5 inch barrel, 37 inches overall, they don't come much shorter or lighter. Walked onto a group of 4 pigs in open forest, dumped 3 in 2 seconds, literally. Then came across a mob of 8 pigs feeding close together, and dumped 4 in a similar time. I had that beauty for 40 years and it took pride of place on my gunrack, but Aunty Jacinda took a fancy to it, so I graciously handed it over.

    The other was a Remington Mohawk in .308, bolt action, 5.5 lbs in weight, 18.5 inch barrel, 37 inches overall (note the similarity?) and more accurate than a really, really accurate rifle. Why did I sell it? Don't know! Dumb decision.
