    Sky/SCUBA diving

    Re: Sky/SCUBA diving Only done a few SCUBA's, do *alot* of freediving and spearfishing (you can't use SCUBA and spearfish down here), especially in summer. Once i'm done with University i'll get back into SCUBA. Couldn't even get me near an open door on a plane, let alone jump out of one.

    Tikka T3 experiences

    Re: Tikka T3 experiences They've been flogged to death over here in Oz. Had a mate put thousands through his .223 T3 and never reported an issue that wasn't ammo related.

    Sooo i may make the trip across the big pond.

    Re: Sooo i may make the trip across the big pond. Alaska is a separate trip in itself, probably do it along with Canada in a couple of years. Right now the US dollar is low compared to ours, and from what i've heard getting to Canada/Alaska is expensive compared to the US these days. I'm...

    Any Paramedics/EMT's out here?

    Just curious. Anyone else out here in the Job? I'm heading over to the US at the end of the year, would love to maybe try and get some time on road, even get some work in on the slim chance they'd accept me (i'd be full qual'd in pretty much all my drugs/procedures by then. So if there's...

    Re: blackwater sniper Go to uni. Study nursing or similar health science course. Be one of five or ten dudes in a course of 300+ chicks. Party half the year, study the other half. My life > Anyone's in the Mil. Army/Marines will always be there, uni becomes exponentially harder with every...

    SVDs questions?

    Re: SVDs questions? So in short to answer the OP's question. Yes, you can get one. Real ones cost around $3000, if not more for the SVDS. Pre-Ban knockoffs are usually worse and way overpriced. They will only shoot 2MOA on a really good day with handloads, but expect worse. You can buy a far...

    CZ 750, SSG 04, or T3 sporter

    Re: CZ 750, SSG 04, or T3 sporter The *only* weak points in the Tikka are the DBM and the Stock. the Scout CTR would be my choice if you can get your hands on it, replace with a chassis to fix the above two issues and enjoy!

    CZ 750, SSG 04, or T3 sporter

    Re: CZ 750, SSG 04, or T3 sporter Just get a T3 Lite or Hunter if you can't find the Varmint, re-barrel and re-stock it. Voila. Still be better value than the T3 Sporter and will probably only set you back $2k, maybe $2.5 if you don't want to shop around. If you want a review for the T3...

    .308 or .300wm

    Re: .308 or .300wm Rifles are about practice, as you'd know from the Mil, you only got better the more times you did something. You only get better at driving the more times you actually put petrol in the damn thing and go for a drive. Cheaper ammo = more ammo to practice with = more...

    Photos AusCam on AI 2.0 Skins

    Re: AusCam on AI 2.0 Skins Being the most available camo here in Oz surplus stores, Auscam has to be my favourite! It's incredibly versatile, and works from the green forests of the Otways to the red earth in the centre, and everything inbetween. Plus it's distinctly australian, which i love!

    Help with Tikka accuracy

    Re: Help with Tikka accuracy Mine sits in an RCS II, can't go wrong with the chassis. Manners, XLR, Roedale and Whiskey-3 all inlet for the T3, so you've got a bit of choice. And seconded on the ammo, i made that mistake too when i first got mine. Feed it the right stuff and it'll shoot...

    Ideas for Patrol Rifle Training

    Re: Ideas for Patrol Rifle Training Basic teaching tips and lesson structure i've picked up: Check your departments SOP on the use of rifles, and see what situations they can/can't be used. Tailor your training to focus on the times/situations when they may be required to use them. No point...
