BAHAHAHA Careful or you'll end up like that movie director who posed with the dinosaur and some very "smart folk" on the internet couldn't believe how he was allowed to hunt these animals and kill such a magnificent creature....Quote:

Then Friday night went out again and got 4 foxes. 1 we couldnt find but he went down hard. Other 3 were younger pups maybe 2 or 3 months old.
Chaps,
I use my GU for hunting and I’m wanting to build a gun rack where the third row of seats are. I’ve removed my third row of seats and use the rear of the wagon for storage. I’m considering welding up a frame from 20mm SHS and using the bolt holes of the third row seats as mounts.
The rack would carry 4-5 guns horizontally “stacked” on top of each other vertically in a “wall” immediately behind the second row of seats. Does anyone have experience with doing so or any experience building a similar device?
It would look something like a cargo carrier but with no mesh.
Before you go expending time and money i would look carefully into the laws around the transport and storage of firearms in vehicles. Its not like the god 'ole USA where every second vehicle in the Walmart carpark has a gun in a rack in the rear window! ( I saw this in Redmond Oregon, which is a backwater town in the NW of the USA and it was startling - no security at all apart from a locked door - maybe.) If it was me, I would contact your firearms division, and go speak with a firearms officer, with a set of plans for review - it could save you the angst if you get pulled up or inspected en-route or even when camping - especially around the 'secure location' requirements.Quote:

He changed the rubber to a lighter one for more easier draw.

I finally got around to getting my license, it took about 4 months through covid but arrived just before new years.
Now just waiting on PTAs to come through for 2 rifles I have waiting for me at the gun shop... A Ruger American 22lr and a Tikka T3x Aspire in 300WM. Hopefully can pick them up next week!

Awesome Winnie,good luck with ya hunting n shooting mate,
Sent from my SM-G780G using Tapatalk
Cheers, plan is to bust bunnies and foxes on a mate's farm which is close to home, and give Sambar stalking a go as well. Have also been invited to go with a hound hunting crew so will probably give that a go as well.

Nice Chrisso, I was eying out the Aspire the other day. Very nice bit of gear.
I ended up ordering the superlight in .243 stainless and fluted as it just felt so good in my hands
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah beautiful! From what the bloke at the shop told me, the aspire is just a green superlite with an extended mag and rubberised grips.

Finally got it today!

It’s bit different to the one I looked at. I’m sure it had soft pistol grip and the soft cheek piece didn’t wrap right around…hmmm, must be a new model.Quote:

@Winnie What’s a box of 20 worth for the 300wm?
$55 for Winchesters and $60 for Remington, very similar pricing to 308 so I thought it was alright
Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
WOW, thats cheap. a box of 45-70's cost $139 8mths ago, and they were the last two boxes in stock, next sell price heading towards $160/box, which is bloody terrible. No more blowing up rocks or shooting to kill the river from now on!Quote:

There is a steel gong at 500m in this pic, I took 3 shots at it and hit it twice which I think is not bad for a low experience shooter.

@Maxhead gotta see what the legals are for travelling over to you again. But fr a week at least
Haven't eaten them since I was a young kid so was pretty excited, Sliced the back straps up today, crumbed em and cooked for the kids. Better than chicken nuggets they reckon haha.Quote:

FWIW: Feral eradication wise not too many decades long ago but all done and legally shut down now, I truly believe we might have had an honest system impact going up along the local Murrindindi grassy clearance power line feed.
Quietly putting along North bound popping Bunnies affront first, utilising older style smaller front winch hooks/neck hooks🪝 for speed of skinning/cleaning.
180 degree U-Turn after 1 hour and heading home we’d sadly have to precisely .22 take out Foxy Mumma/Puppa/Kit’s foolishly always eating the Bunnies previously left road center piles from a short hungry distance.
Not proud, but we did save many Aussie lives in the days hopefully [emoji120]

FWIW #2: One of our Mates back then, accidentally/genuinely ‘vouched’ and brought along a “friend” with a first owned shotty. Trigger happy stupidity he took a pellet duck shot potentially cruel at a deer from some 200m away which clearly missed thankfully!
Tis a tough Gig for our ‘Superintendents Of FireArms’ …..SSAA or whom ever cares should have greater input into licence consideration? [emoji848]

Checked out a larger gunsafe a few weeks ago, went to pick it up last week and the price had increased. The dealers are right onto this, even Bunnings had them near the registers on a promotion, they only went up $4.Quote:
