Spend your loot on a decent bolt action if it's deer you are chasing. If you can stretch to a Sako, you won't go wrong.
If pigs are your bent, a 30.30 lever isn't a bad way to go, being short and light, although not too flash in the accuracy stakes.
I don't want to offend you here, but semi-auto is an unnecessary wank. If you miss with the first shot, the animal will be running, and all you are likely to do is blaze away merrily trying to hit an impossible target whilst forgetting the fact that your projectiles may still be lethal 3 Km away. Then there's all the arguments about safety...

I fired off 250-300 rounds straight through a C9 and bent the barrel from the heat.
Can I have a go on your rifle???
Easily ammused
Did you actually hit anything?
Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.
Aargh, photos!
Yes, up to 200m quite happily. Not with a ruger .22, I can only manage 125yards accurately.

Haha, well done. Now were you brave enough to change the barrel strait afterwards?

Well, thanks a lot for all of your comments\advice. Now I'm bloody confused... haha...
No seriously its really helpful. Well I'll continue looking about. Trouble is my budget isn't that great and I wanted to get something new rather than second hand as I'm not an expert and can't really tell if something's in good nick or not. Shotguns were my thing years ago as I grew up on a farm. I've not had much experience with anything else.
With regards to what I want to use it for... Well I'd like to have something that'll be good for goats, pigs, deer etc. but also something I can have a bit of fun with at the ranges or out in the bush.
I thought the two rifles I was looking at would be suitable but was leaning toward the Siaga. A military rifle I know but also I thought it might be a bit of a challenge with regard to the accuracy.
Anyway, I'll have a look at the places mentioned and get a better feel for it.
Velox, thanks for your offer, I'll definitley take you up on it when I get myself sorted!!
Thanks a lot to all of you!!

I want one of these puppies.

However I'd settle for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M82A1 (or any of their .50 BMG weapons really)
Who's seen the video clip of the mercenary in Iraq slaughtering militants with a barret 50? Its great.

The instructions are simple...
If you are a fan of .308, yet want a short bush gun, then you can't beat a Miruku lever action. They are tough, light, very accurate (watched a mate pop a deer at about 200m across a valley) and can take a scope well.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Thanks, I'll have a look and see what sort of prices they're going for...
The Sharif don't like it!
I want my gun licence, but I an't got the money for a gun, so there's no point lol. One day
nice .303 Enfield (bolt action of course) might do me

Nice weapons used one and I have nothing bad to say about it, but the guy who used it in Iraq wasn't a merc.

Contradiction in terms there young Indy. Nice and LeeEnfield do not belong together in the same statement. Not known as the SMelLiE for nothing. In saying that, the Mk.V carbine wasn't toooo bad. However, 4" grouping at 100m is not really the shizz.nice .303 Enfield (bolt action of course) might do me
