    What's the successor cartridge to the 5.56 NATO?

    Re: What's the successor cartridge to the 5.56 NATO? Germany and Britain are pretty much the only two countries in Europe with any money, and the Brits only got their money by slashing the military budget. Canada has some money, and the US is in Recession. If you had to ask me, the next...

    How much do you guys train?

    Re: How much do you guys train? Less than 50 a month. Mainly because there's no ranges to shoot at in Victoria. Wish i could get more in, but money and time are the main factors. ~~~~~ Also, it's a good question. To the OP, some people here get off on having a go at others, i'm actually...

    uncocking the bolt??

    Re: uncocking the bolt?? We store our rifles in 2 safes. The bolts/magazines for the rifles are stored in the opposite safe to where the rest of the rifle is stored. Even the break-open shotgun is stored in pieces in separate safes. Only our Winchester 94' in .30-30 is fully operable, and it...

    AR vs. AK

    Re: AR vs. AK Get an AR. If shit hits the fan, there's tonnes of them lying around you can scavenge parts from to repair yours with, and the ammo is also very common. Also, the AK is great, but all the stopping power in the world don't mean shit if the bullet doesn't hit the target.

    Good New for Tikka Owners

    Re: Good New for Tikka Owners Good to see HSS getting a good run in the US. Aussie gun manufacturers are few and far between, so having someone take on their great line of products in the US is just brilliant!

    Gunsmithing Red Jacket Lead Time

    Re: Red Jacket Lead Time Well there's not much out there that's interesting in gun world. Think about it, does the general public and all those couch-warrior 14 year olds want to watch the boys from GA Precision turn out a 3/8MOA Crusader, or do they want to see a redneck weld a pair of AK's...

    Lefty...worth switching to Righty?

    Re: Lefty...worth switching to Righty? I shot RH rifles as a lefty for years. All i can say is that you're not missing anything. A lefty needs a lefty rifle. A righty needs a righty rifle. Want to practice with your non-dominant side? Then switch hands with your left-handed rig. Personally...

    ruger gunsite scout rifle

    Re: ruger gunsite scout rifle It's one of the few Ruger's i've heard good reviews for. However, the Scout concept only took off here on Oz because we can't have self-loaders. If you can get a semi-auto, that'd be a much better choice for the type of application the Scout rifle is designed for.

    Poor mans Sako TRG... Tikka Sporter?

    Re: Poor mans Sako TRG... Tikka Sporter? The price of nearly $3000 is in Australia, and yes, our dollar is slightly higher than the US. However, shooting in this country is reserved for evil men who go around killing babies and skinning animals alive to feed their satanic bloodlust whilst...

    new here what is your opinion on this rifle

    Re: new here what is your opinion on this rifle you're talking about the one on UsedGuns... As expensive as GAP is, 7k is a bit much for one, given the exchange rate, you're paying 7k for a rifle worth 5k tops, that was made for someone else. Personally, I'd get GAP to make you one to the...

    This rifle eats scopes!

    Re: This rifle eats scopes! I'm running a M77/II in .30-06. Tasco world class scope. It groups under 2.5MOA all day long, which, for a hunting rifle, is more than adequate. If you're looking for precision, Ruger is not where i'd look. Remington, Savage, Howa and Tikka all do rifles in the...
