I bought my home in the Couserans Pyrénées in 2004 and left the UK to live here full time. After 5 years of solo adventure I met Susie and her children Jasper and Ruby. We married in 2012 and spend our time walking in the mountains, looking after our chickens and sheep, transforming their wool and other fibres into woven, knitted and felted creations and growing/foraging for our food.

More rifle research and the bureaucracy of firearm importing is making me look again at the Tikka T3 laminated stainless. Can probably order one in St Girons. Unbelievably (given the tiny size of the UK rifle market compared to France) they are about 3/4 the french price in the UK.

Just a thought, why a rifle? with the 12gauge shotgun you can hunt both big and small game, depending on ammo. happy hunting, Chip
I have a 20 guage shotgun already but in France 'grand gibier' - wild boar, roe deer, isard, red deer, etc can only be hunted with a rifle. It's unlikely I'd get close enough to shot one with a shotgun and frankly I wouldn't want to - a rifle is a sure, clean and instant kill. I know you can put a slug in a shotgun but I don't believe it has anything like the accuracy of a rifle...besides I've always wanted a rifle!
