Former Army scout/sniper and his wife, planning on a trip to the continent next year. I currently work in the IT industry and have a side business building custom rifles and reloading equipment.

A question for the wider community: Who among you hunts—at least occasionally—with a semi-automatic hunting rifle?
And my second question: If you hunt with semi-automatics, which semi-automatic weapon do you use?
