    'Tactical' .223 on a budget

    I recently bought an extremely light weight .308 that I intend to take up the cape of Australia on a hunting trip when I can afford the $3k. I have taken it to the range and off a bag have been getting pretty consistent 2 shots in 1 hole, and then the 3rd opening up to about 1-1.5inch. Now I am...

    Moving to America/Canada with firearms

    Re: Moving to America/Canada with firearms That sounds really good thanks! Do you know what sort of qualifications are needed? We had a quick look and it seems as though most places over there only recognize a masters degree from australia, not a standard bachelor degree...

    Moving to America/Canada with firearms

    Re: Moving to America/Canada with firearms Yeah I looked at Tenessee too. Maybe a small town near one of the cities? Also, where can I find out how much land is needed in each state to legally shoot on? For example, here, you need 50 acres of land to discharge a firearm on private property...

    Moving to America/Canada with firearms

    Re: Moving to America/Canada with firearms From what I see based on climate, the cities in Texas appear hotter than the country towns... This may be caus of the built up area but I don't know. The data for Houston appears to be about the same as where I currently live, maybe a little hotter...

    Moving to America/Canada with firearms

    Re: Moving to America/Canada with firearms Yeah I would imagine that the way they portray violence in the US over here is a method by the greenies to try and con the sheeple into seeing that the second a person holds a firearm, they are going to commit a violent act with it. Needless to say...

    Moving to America/Canada with firearms

    Re: Moving to America/Canada with firearms Wow! Excellent feedback thanks folks! I checked out those links and yeah maybe the US would be better. I was already thinking a smallish town. From what I have seen on google research etc, most places over there are much closer than here, with even...

    Moving to America/Canada with firearms

    Re: Moving to America/Canada with firearms Thanks for all the info! I am definitely considering a holiday to a few of the places that I am looking at to see what suits me best. My own pick was New Zealand as it is pretty similar to Australia in many ways except they have goldilocks gun laws...

    Moving to America/Canada with firearms

    *** Please move this post if it is in the wrong spot. My gf and I are seriously considering moving to somewhere in the states or canada in the near future. The main reasons being that I really love shooting and hunting but it is getting incredibly hard and costly to do here. She is also studying...

    General Purpose Hunting Rifle

    Re: General Purpose Hunting Rifle Yeah well if it doesn't shoot well, I will sell it. Call me lazy, but I don't really think it is worth the effort. Besides, in my town there is only 1 gunsmith getting around, so he has the monopoly on prices.I am pretty confident the Browning will shoot...

    General Purpose Hunting Rifle

    Re: General Purpose Hunting Rifle Haha well I ended up getting the Browning A Bolt II Stainless in .308. I don't know if it will shoot as well as the Tikka or the Sako, but that wasn't the purpose I want this rifle for. I wanted a light, good feeling carry rifle with a synthetic stock that...

    General Purpose Hunting Rifle

    Re: General Purpose Hunting Rifle Once again, the whole Australia issue returns. The new Leverevolution stuff is about $40/20 .30-30 and about $59/20 .45-70... I haven't even seen a gun shop outside the capital cities that stocks the .308ME

    General Purpose Hunting Rifle

    I am looking at buying a general purpose, lightweight hunting rifle and managed to have a play with a few at the LGS yesterday. I had my mind set on one particular model, but after getting there and having a look and handling each gun, my opinion completely changed. Based on handling, operation...

    Hunting & Fishing Single shot rifles and muzzleloaders

    I have become kinda bored with 'easy' bolt action .308's and have been taken with the idea of a single shot rifle or muzzleloader. I just wanted people's opinions and hunting experiences on different rifles, what works, what doesn't and what is just darn fun! I have never used or even shot a...

    Reviews of the Savage 25 LV rifles?

    I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with the Savage 25 LV rifles? Positives or negatives? I have been looking at my options for a medium range bolt rifle and have pretty much narrowed it down to one of the cheaper Remington 700 models or one of the Savage rifles in either .223...

    Post your camping and utility/survival rimfire

    Re: Post your camping and utility/survival rimfire I am jealous most of all of your semi auot .22 rifles! I can only imagine how fun it would be to just pop off a few hundred rounds through one of those!

    Boyds' Tacticool stock CZ Mag>LR conversion?

    Does anyone know if the Boyds' Tacticool CZ Magnum stocks can be converted in some way (or if they can fit at all) for a standard .22lr? I bought the magnum stock for my .17hmr but am thinking about selling the .17 and getting the same 452 Varmint in .22lr for better practice costs and...

    Post your camping and utility/survival rimfire

    I am interested in seeing what everyone else is using as a general use type of rimfire rifle. The sort that if you are out camping etc that you would grab first to carry in your pack or sling over your shoulder. I have a small and light Zastava CZ99 .22lr that has iron sights (soon to have a...

    New Winchester Australia 42gr 'Max' Powerpoint .22

    I just bought a little 50rd pack of this today for $8. It is being sold pretty hard over here atm. Apparently it is one of the first commercial ammunitions to be made in and exported from Australia (I'm not sure if it has been rolled out in US as well though). There are vids on youtube showing...
