thrash>>>
I go to the St Marys Indoor 50m range in Sydney. I have a Tikka T3 .243, which I'm happy with the accuracy especially for a hunting rifle. Best is 0.69 MOA 5-shot group at the range.

Woody>>>
Where do you go and what do you hunt?

Vulpes>>>
What do you take when you go for rabbits? 22LR or shotgun?

Went to Tamworth last easter and got a couple of rabbits and foxes, but no pigs.
I was going to go hunting at Mudgee on the 3rd & 4th April, but looks like it's going to fall through.

Anyone know of someone with a property that allow hunters on their property? NSW?

By far I believe the best calibre ever made is the 22 Hornet. It has twice the power of a 22 magnum. Has plenty of power for foxes, roos ( head shot preferably ) and especially rabbits. I dont mind killing feral animals but I hate seeing an animal suffer hence I rabbit shoot with the hornet. there is no arguing with Mr Hornet. Here one minute, chewing on some heavenly grass the next.

What's a "roos"? I never herd of it... rooster?
The Tikka T3 is a VERY nice rifle, and .243 will be nice for small game but when you meet a Swedish moose in the forest you wish for somthing like a .30-06 or bigger... not too say if running in too a 200kg pig!

roo's refer to kangaroo's I believe.

I don't go hunting animals anymore. Last time I did that was in New Zealand hunting rabbits and possums.

Nowadays I just go to a shooting range out in woop woop. I think its called mellmaron or something like that.

Do a bit of varmit hunting back home (NZ), possums, rabbits etc. Find my semi auto 22 sufficient for the job but my aim is :roll:

22LR semi auto are banned here. Well almost. You need to have a special licence and be a registered professional for culling purposes only.

I loved my dads pump shotty. Up until last year was still using it until it broke the pin for the slider. And it cost more to buy a new one then to fix it

I have to say my dads Glock is my favourite hand gun to shoot with. It has more kick then the desert eagle. And his glock is only a 45. The Glock had more kick because its a compact I think

Interesting, why is that?
I'm guessing it is for similar reasons to why handguns are banned back home (smaller/easier to conceal weapons yet still quite lethal in the wrong hands)

I really have to figure out this quote thing a little better.
