Re: AusVarmint.com will close in April 2025, Join our FB To stay in contact.

As a long time member, but not the longest, I wish all Ausvarminters from whatever years the best. If it wasn't for the friendship of this group I would have never found myself truly into shooting, that I had long dreamed of, nor having met so many good people in person if not solely online. The tol...

Re: Victoria bans 5+ capacity bolt-action shotguns

Luckily mine is only a 3 shot.

Funny how the only people who keep messing with my rights are politicians, the criminals seem to have more respect.

Re: Thoughts on Winchester Highwall or varmint hunting.

Ive always wanted a single shot falling block single action, earlier on wanting a Ruger Number 1 but lately favoring a Winchester Highwall. Ive also been wanting another 220 swift and thought a Highwall in 220 swift would be great on rabbits. What are peoples thoughts on using a Highwall for varmin...

Re: Here I go again, what to purchase?

I just purchased a Ruger Go Wild in 7mm/08 but .308 is also offered. These are Cerakoted in bronze, 3 lug bolt, fitted with a muzzle brake and a good recoil pad. They take an A1 style magazine and are under $2k. May be worth a look. Regards Thanks mate, I hadn't specifically spotted one of these an...

Here I go again, what to purchase?

Been thinking (again, I know) about a new 308W rifle. Maybe something leaning a bit towards long range but without going crazy and keeping costs reasonable. I've been impressed with my 270W Browning X-Bolt with brake so I consider that a good starting point. Love the smooth action, light trigger (wi...

Re: The Yak Attack journey has commenced.

That looks very nice. How big is the lake, I've forgotten?

I hear that HMAS ANZAC is going to be relocated to Lake Burley Griffin as a new tourist attraction now it has been decommissioned. I guess there was no point in sinking her there.

Re: Trigger gauge

Well, I finally bought a digital trigger gauge. Just a cheap Chinese one. When it arrived I tested it and got surprising results, which made me assume the gauge was crap. So I watched a few videos and did a basic comparison test with some weights and it turns out to be fairly accurate. The result of...
