Thanks for your well written and informative story It certainly is a once in a lifetime trip There should be more of this in this forum instead of people playing at hunting and only shooting at ranges After all who cares how many grains of powder you use when you are hunting long as you get the...

Scottso If you can post an email address i will attach some interesting Hog footage for you Cheers

Are you shooting Hogs for meat or to eradicate If you are just shooting them to get rid of them there is a better way but you will have to build a weld mesh round trap and put a heap of corn or oats on the ground The next day just walk up to them and head shot them with a 22Long I do this...

Riverguy We down under have tried several carbon wrapped barrels and have found that all of them have done the same thing We are commercial hunters and we also shoot F Class out to 1500 metres so we are use to all the perameters that should fix the problem however what we have found is similar...

As a commercial shooter we never use a Bipod however I was on a holiday come camping trip with some mates out in the Simpson Desert and I fitted a Bipod on one of my favourite rifles for a trial and had an opertunity to try to nock down a Camel at about 700 metres so I lay down on to of a sand...

We tried four different Christensen rifles here and none of them would shoot anything under a 5 inch group As we have had a lot of expertise with all makes and models of rifles with bedding,triggers,special loads,and every possible thing to make them shoot and still we took them back for a...

We have tried Christian Arms rifles down here and sent them all back We couldn't get them to even get close to the 4moa with some and others were very unpredictable Go for any other brand rifle

We dispatch about 50-100 per night on some properties our favorites are 22-250 and 308 - this one was hit with a 308 - one thing you must not do if you hit one in the wrong kill spot DONT go looking for it as this has damaged more hunters than you can imagine One thing is if you can get your...

Gamesniper thanks for your very informative post We have tried four different Carbon barreled rifles all in 308win and no matter what we did with loads or shooters we couldn't get them to shoot so got our money back so we figured that they only send their rubbish down under to get rid of it We...

Down under we have lots of things that want to kill us from spiders,snakes,sharks,Crocodiles,pigs, dogs mosquitoes, but still we don't feel it necessary to go on a kill frenzy,But yes we do have times when we reduce numbers of Ferrel animals and as I have been involved in that side of it it...

Welcome from down under in Australia As Commercial hunters we reload a lot (about 20,000 rounds a year) but mainly in a very few common calibers ie 223,22-250,308 although we do get into the occasional very long range F class target shooting which we use 6mmBR an unusual round but does the job...

We have tried flip ups but as you say the Scope coat neoprene covers are definitely the best for weather and dust

Welcome Big guy from down under Also spent some time ex military in No1Commando company out of Sydney but now I do a bit of commercial Kulling out in the back blocks of Australia ( mainly Pigs and Goats) but as You will no doubt learn most hunting is done under 100 metres but target wise and...

I got to use an M1A national match years ago when I was stationed with some Yanks in Nuidat Vietnam and had quite a bit of shooting with them - nice rifle - got it to print exactly the same as my issued rifle - an Australian heavy barrelled SLR in 308 - We cant own semi Autos in Australia as...

Your scenario interest us down under as most of the people in the country of Australia are by nature "Dooms day Preparers" However if you are use to walking say 20 Klm going hunting then carrying a gun with some "Legs" like a 308 or 300WM shouldn't be a problem Leave the AR15-16 at home as they...
