    Maggie’s Anzac day

    This year Anzac Day was full of firsts for me. The first time I've been able to do the Dawn Service with my daughter, the first time I've done the service on an army base, the first time I've seen my daughter march with her unit, and the first time she's marched in uniform with her medals...

    Pics of where you shoot

    In Australia you can only shoot on a certified range, on private property with the owners permission, or some national parks with the proper licence and permission. So I bought 2 rural properties to shoot on. This is my long distance shooting property...

    Need Aussie help

    are you up on the legal requirements for owning a firearm in Australia? Basically you need to join a shooting club or organisation, or own a rural property, or have a rural property owner give you consent to shoot on his land, to satisfy the legal requirement to hold a shooter's licence. All...

    AW .308 mag fit AICS?

    Hi, I have a remington 700 .308 with an AICS it fitted. A mate has two 10 rd mags, .308 calibre, for an AW rifle, in .308 calibre., that he doesn't want. He is about 2000km from me, so I can't check physically if they will fit my rifle. The AI website lists the AW mags and the AE/AICS mag as...

    Advice on next AR-15 purchase

    Re: Advice on next AR-15 purchase I'd pay $US10,000 without a second thought for any decent ar platform. Pity our Customs people won't let them in, even if the State Police say you can have one.

    I did it

    Re: I did it My mate just finished training with some US Marines from Camp Pendleton (?), out doing a joint exercise in Northern Australia. Now this part of the world is full of dangerous critters, some of which actively hunt humans, and you really need to keep your wits about you. He...

    ATI M1 Garand?

    Re: ATI M1 Garand? I wish I was born in USA. In fact, my father was taken prisoner in France by the US army in WW2 (he was German Navy) and I believe he was supposed to be taken to the US but was taken to England instead, due to the risk from U boat's. Not sure how true that story was, but it...

    which scope level?

    Re: which scope level? I like the accuracy first level, but can anyone tell me if it can be mounted left or right side? Is the bead visible from both sides? I'm left handed, and the Accuracy 1st website didn't say whether it would be suitable for left handed shooters.

    which scope level?

    I'm looking to attach a scope level to my nightforce scope, to aid in shooting at longer ranges. I did a quick search here, but couldn't find much. Can anyone recommend a good brand of level? I don't mind paying extra for quality. It needs to fit the 30mm tube on my nightforce 8-32x56 scope...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Re: SRS Cerakote My son collected his brand new DTA SRS in 308/338lm from the dealer yesterday. He paid $US9060 for it (retail price in Australia). Out of the box one of the lugs (there are 8 of them) on the butt plate had broken off. Another one was cracked. This was a brand new, unfired...

    best range finder

    Re: best range finder My vector iv won't range to 6km. 2500km easy, but 6km, no way. And it eats batteries quicker than what the owner's manual states. And it's pretty heavy if you're hunting on foot.

    HK 416/17 and MR556A1

    Re: HK 416/17 and MR556A1 How does it make you feel that you can't get something made in another country imported into the US? Probably the same it makes us Aussies feel when US suppliers refuse to send stuff to us. For example, I can't even buy a Larue mount. Not because US laws prohibit...

    Rangefinders

    Re: Rangefinders I'll swap you my vector iv for a decent m4forgery. That's a $1000 rifle for a $10000 rangefinder. Of course, you need to get the rifle thru Australian customs
