Re: Aussie Made Rifles! HOW AWESOME IS THIS!

Price hasn't been finalised yet but very reasonable I'm told.
Hopefully towards the end of the year or early next.

Re: Aussie Made Rifles! HOW AWESOME IS THIS!

Hi guys,
Stock is ambidextrous.
If you have any questions ask away, I may be able to answer them.
Cheers.

Re: Opinions on 20" barrel for .223? (the result is in)

Thanks for the advice guys. I settled on 25.7 grains of BM2 behind the Noslers for ~3220 fps. Cases are ADI weighed @ around 97 grains. I can group the Amerian Eagle AR223 ammo at around .6 moa (5 @ 100m). My hand loads were half that but only a 3 shot group. I'm no dead-eye-dick so I expect the rif...

Re: Opinions on 20" barrel for .223? (the result is in)

Wanted to start with Sierra Blitz Kings but none left at the LGS, Noslers should go OK tho I think. Interesting to see what velocity I will get from this barrel using these projies, 2210, ADI cases and CCI BR4 primers??

Re: Opinions on 20" barrel for .223?

Howa .223 (barrel is now 500mm from front of action with an 11 deg crown), Boyds VT (with some mods), Bushnell Elite 4-16x40, DNZ one piece rail/mount, mounts and action are bedded.
Looking forward to working up a load next w/end with 50g Nosler Ballistic Tips.
Cheers.

Opinions on 20" barrel for .223? (the result is in)

Hi all,
Just looking for some thoughts on barrel length for a .223 walking varminter.
Rifle is a Howa HB on a modified Boyds VT. Idea is a comfortable carrying rifle
that I plan on shooting out to 300m.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Re: Ultrasonic Cleaner - Heads Up

Not sure where from sorry. Probably Blackwoods I expect but you could try an industrial supplies company. We buy large qtys also (200 litre drums of the stuff).
I have seen small spray bottles of it in Bunnings though (household cleaning section).

Goodluck

Re: Ultrasonic Cleaner - Heads Up

Hi Guys,

Not sure if this stuff has been mentioned before- didn't read all the posts- but has anyone used 'Simple Green' (citrus degreaser I think)? At work we use it diluted in hot water and it takes heavy carbon build-up off in a matter of minutes.

Cheers, Jason.
