    I am not a shooter just yet, but booked into my safety course on the 7-07, getting most of my paperwork ready now like my game license..

    Main reason I am keen to get into hunting is meat ducks and deer. Anyone hunt and butcher?

    Back on the farm it was pest management, foxes, airborne rats, snakes and rats..

    We had an under over shotgun and little .22 bolt action..

    Yes a few do on here mate...

    As for the 17hmr I did like it a lot but any wind and it was frustrating and there was a huge batch of ammo that was splitting cases and getting jammed in the barrel... I stuffed up a shot on a fox and the fox was suffering but I had a jammed round and could not get it out, the fox suffered longer than it should have..

    I remember hitting a rabbit on the fly at 150m with a 17hmr... it was a brilliant shot helped by the pace of the bullet.

    That fox was fun it was mid day I was heading home after a 7 hr walk and not seen a bloody thing not even a roo on our 1500 acre place in stanthorpe. I was walking along and we saw each other I stopped and shouldered firearm. He ducked behind a tree. I stayed still he knew I was there but not sure where. He took a step out I took aim he hid again then took 2 steps out then bam in one shoulder out the back. You can see the dags on the rock shot was hard to get a non gruesome pose.
    The 22/250 IMHO is Australia's choice for hunting roos pig fox dog head shot long range bunnies my hand loads throw 55 gn projectiles at 3200fps I'm happy with that.
    I'm saving for a 7mm rem mag for larger deer as I want to start chasing them.

    Just picked up 416 Barrett DTA the other week so its still a virgin lol

    The 50 is quite reasonable to shoot due its weight and the brake on it..I would say the 375 cheytac kicks more.

    I can tell that whoever took that picture is a sexy beast.


    Just dropped my mauser off at the gunsmiths to get chamber reamed and have mounts fitted. They wanted $375 to bend the bolt handle though, which is a bit on the pricey side for me(though I understand how it could cost that much), but I've managed to source one already bent from Numrich gun parts in the US, have bought a few bits off them now and if they don't have something, it just doesn't exist.

    Yes I find some stuff in this country is way over priced and some of the mark ups not reasonable at all..

    Many stores in this country are pricks to deal with.. I have had little to do with gunsmiths but have heard of prices paid for some work and nearly fell over !!!!

    I need to send my trigger off to that bloke that does all my Howa triggers as I think even though I am only breaking in the new rifle it will still piss me off with too much creep and way to heavy pull....

    I like 1 1/2 to 2 pound on a .243 but my .204 is set at 1 pound and I have to warn people if I let them take a shot.
