    For any Queenslanders on this forum, please consider signing this petition to the QLD state Government proposing the legalisation of hunting on public land. This would entail access to state forests in a similar model to the NSW R-licence. I am aware that previous attempts have been...

    Thoughts on the CZ550

    Where did you get the 3 position safety? Also, is that an aftermarket stock? I have a CZ550 in .404J and would like to upgrade both the stick and safety.

    Zeiss Diatal ZA 4X32

    Hunting Southern Alabama

    I believe it is just in the job role I am coming over with, but stipuated by the US gov. If I had been coming over on holiday there would be no such restriction

    Hunting Southern Alabama

    Gov, I believe it was introduced after a foreign military student shot a number of people in Pensacola a few years ago. @sureshot375 that is a very kind offer. I may have to take you up on that if I can't find any deer around AL.
