Well, adding a civilian version of an "assault rifle" (Steyr's words - not mine) should be no bother to a guy with your collection - which at last count was:
Remy .220 Swift, Tikka T-3 on order, Sig 9mm on order Oh, and I forgot - a 6.5 x 55

It wasn't me!

Bearing in mind the T3 is in .300 win mag. I believe that piece of information really adds to the tally.

Aren't we allowed semi-auto centerfire here in Ireland subject to Super's approval? Surely you can just get a semi version as opposed to this one that needs to be cocked each time?
How many of the restricted categories would this fall into under our new rules??

2 or 3.

• "assault rifle"
• "bullpup rifle"
• centre-fire rifle under 90cm (although this only counts for rifles that aren't assault rifles or bullpup rifles so I don't know should it count)

chem

try for the semi. Why not? At least if you get turned down you can always say "well if I cant have the semi, ill meet you half way and get the straight pull":D

I saw on the TV where there was a goat cull on a spanish Island. They were using a helicopter and the shooter was using a semi auto. Showed him taking out 2 and 3 at a time. One shot each. POP POP POP and 3 dead goats. Great shooting from the air and very fast.

Restricted is restricted so it really doesn't matter. Pick one

The Aug semi auto is quite popular in Europe as an IPSC rifle. Very quick to index at closer & mid range targets. A little awkward though for mag changes but with practice you could get it perfected.
