I think the Aussie equivalent might be using an original Mosin-Nagant with milsurp rounds and bayonet fixed. We would frown on FMJ and bayonet but not pay attention to the rifle. In fact, most hunting in Australia is in the nature of pest destruction; spotlights and semi-autos were and are perfectly...

Not having semi-autos is an inconvenience, but it is easier than the UK to get most kinds of good firearms, and pistol shooting is still legal.

If I were producing a dream LE I would make them not 'military arsenal standard', but to a badge-engineered private purchase standard. When I think of that Purdey Martini .303 ...
