    What to buy to replace my .223 Semi

    OK boys and girls. Now that I have handed my nasty evil unsafe rifle in to the Govt I find myself looking for a replacement.
    Have tried a Troy Pump Action a mate brought but it was very innaccurate (think barn door accurate) with all the ammo we tried so it was returned
    Another Mate has a Pump AR (locally made in North Island) and this is accurate as my now gone AR but impossible to cycle the action fully when shooting prone.
    I have been looking at Lever actions, either the Browning 81 lightweight (takedown) and the Henry long ranger.

    Seems revies on accuracy are mixed, does anyone out there have one they can give a first hand report on accuracy.
    Browning seems better as you can get a 10 round mag (lucky 13) for them now. Henry only holds 5

    This is strictly for Wobblie shooting, yes I can use my TCU but it only holds 5, Lever action with DM seems best bet

    Staight Pull would be another option but I don't really want to spend megabucks just left over Jizzy Bucks

    So any ideas
