Red Allison and Stubblejumper, thank you for the information. Since I live in California, really cold weather is not too much of a concern but wet weather would be since I live in Northern California. I was actually thinking of the BAR Sarari model since I consider weight in a gun to be a virtue. Hunting is my main form of exercise so I figure I get a better work out carrying a heavier gun. That is the main reason I bought a Remington SP 10 Magnum 10 guage shotgun for all of my bird hunting since it is the heaviest gun I could find. It is also a very fine firearm as well.

Again, thanks for the advice, you have given me a lot to think about. I think the accuracy issue is manageable but the reliability one is a cause for concern when hunting one of our favorite potentially dangerous big game animals here in California, wild boar.
