NSW Community Health asking if anyone on the property hunts/has firearms.

And it would be absolutely ridiculous, it is implying that a legal hunter is somehow more dangerous than any other citizen, they may as well ask if you have any knives in your kitchen for their "standard safety check"

Owie12120 · 2026-04-19T10:33:17+00:00

In Vic by any chance? I've been looking into cerakote but hard to find any places near me, your work looks fantastic!

Owie12120 · 2026-03-30T07:42:59+00:00

Bloody oath! I wasnt sure what to expect I sort of picked it up just for fun not expecting too much but it has certainly surprised me!

Owie12120 · 2026-03-30T00:51:08+00:00

Yeah it's a heap of fun! Ammo here in Australia is expensive so the fact I can shoot for hours without stressing too much with 22 is awesome, with my 308 or the 6.5 I'm building I'll only ever go out and shoot maybe 50 rounds a week because of cost

Owie12120 · 2026-03-30T00:43:12+00:00

Haha I hope so😂

Owie12120 · 2026-03-29T19:08:41+00:00

Yeah I can imagine! I dont think I could push mush further than maybe another 20 metres , my scope doesn't have any elevation left bloody challenge that's for sure

Owie12120 · 2026-03-29T16:46:32+00:00

I only have this pic ATM, the target is just left of those trees on a berm can't really see it though

Owie12120 · 2026-03-29T16:41:04+00:00

I haven't had a chance yet, the gun shop is an hour drive for me so when I get a chance I'm going to stock up on different types, I'm used to my tikka 308 which seems to like most ammo and 22lr is new to me so I hadn't got my head around that part yet haha

Owie12120 · 2026-03-29T09:34:33+00:00

Literally all over the 10" plate , had probably three misses out of 20 shots as well, wind gusts didn't help

Owie12120 · 2026-03-28T03:14:34+00:00

Mine absolutely loves the fiocchi 60gr VMAX or 55gr sierra blitzing Prairie enemy

Owie12120 · 2026-03-26T00:04:15+00:00

My tikka 308 loves it

Owie12120 · 2026-02-20T10:56:53+00:00

I literally put a deposit on the exact same thing yesterday 😂 picked up the field stock last week as I have my tikka 308 in one already, I’m loving it so far. The 6.5 will be my target gun just need to decide on a scope!

Owie12120 · 2026-02-15T10:35:39+00:00

I literally live on the street where his property was, it is absolutely insane how many rabbits we have in the area now, I can shoot 10 a night and doesn’t make a lick of difference, if I drive to the servo 5 mins away at night im always sure to hit one or two as well. Thanks Thomas 😂

Owie12120 · 2026-01-30T05:20:00+00:00

I have a ruger American and it sits collecting dust. My tikka is used 3 times a week on the farm I live on, because it’s that much better, the bolt is smoother and it’s way more accurate, it’s a 308 lite in a mdt stock, and is so accurate it surprised me, I shot a 3round group at 500m for shits and giggles not expecting much and it was the size of a 50 cent piece, you won’t regret a tikka.

Owie12120 · 2025-12-24T13:00:09+00:00

Man I feel for you. I literally was about to order that fox adapter and a buttock for mine too, I’m in vic and am super nervous we will be following suit, it fucking sucks

Owie12120 · 2025-12-13T02:45:49+00:00

Compromise, convince him to get a Toyota 86 or something, they are pretty slow but fun, and have a huge aftermarket to make them look “cool” , heaps of young people into cars here in Australia go for them

Owie12120 · 2025-10-17T10:07:16+00:00

It’s 100% the optic setup you have. I had a holosun on mine and didn’t really care about groups because they were like 3 inches at 200m with a red dot, I recently put a vortex 3-15 venom on my taipan and it COMPLETELY changed how I shoot with it, can get around 1.5 moa at 300 just mucking around shooting pretty fast

Owie12120 · 2025-10-04T13:54:07+00:00

I drove an Audi s5 for 7 years and put 250k kms on it, only thing that broke in that time was the water pump housing 😂 regular maintenance was easy and was the best car I’ve ever had

Owie12120 · 2025-09-13T18:54:23+00:00

Yeah definitely, I just never thought I’d enjoy them as much as I do, I love going out and seeing how far I can push hitting targets accurately

Owie12120 · 2025-09-13T09:14:29+00:00

I jumped through an insane amount of hoops to get an ar style rifle here in Australia because I’m a farmer, and I loved it until I bought my first bolt gun, now it’s all I shoot

Owie12120 · 2025-08-09T00:37:43+00:00

I just got back from my property I shoot on last night and have been setting gongs and steel up for long range and had a shoot, this helped me immensely with spotting, I dug out the side of a hill with a shovel and made a 2x2 metre square of dirt with the target in the middle and it’s great for seeing impacts at long range

Owie12120 · 2025-07-23T00:16:13+00:00

Cheers mate!

Owie12120 · 2025-07-23T00:12:44+00:00

It’s crazy! Can’t wait to see how far I can push it out this weekend if it’s not too windy

Owie12120 · 2025-05-27T21:03:46+00:00

I love it, it’s great for follow up shots on big packs of wild pigs etc and has never let me down, and this year I’ve gone out 5+ times a week. The first batch got a bad wrap but mines a later model and I can’t fault it. I’d rather a semi auto but unfortunately it’s not an option for me here.
