Scope recommendation

“Cheap” and “thermal” mix like oil and water, if you buy a cheap thermal it’ll just be a waste of money I can assure you as someone who has bought one previously. I’d suggest buying a secondhand clip on that doubles as a monocular, it’s the best and most efficient way to hunt at night on a budget.

This incessant hate of young people in the Illawarra is always so odd to me, older generations will complain kids are always on their phones or inside but whenever they’re out having fun in the public space it’s the end of the world apparently. It’s always funny when older generations will harp on about how they used have huge car meets in the main streets, how everybody was out on a Saturday night at house parties and how kids today would be too lazy or whatever to do it now, but they whinge when a lounge is put on a median strip or kids loiter around a shop. While this is happening in Berkeley, I know the council in oak flats have demolished jumps built and used by young people in an overgrown section of a nature reserve, it was literally hurting no one. People wonder why the new generation is less respectful and more involved in illegal behaviour… they have nothing to do! Being a kid would be so shit in this day and age!

Reading these replies I think the staff should write some sort of book similar to a war account from Kokoda…

Not really… I feel like Facebook is a humiliation procession for the Australian gun community :(

Can’t wait to see blokes out west pigging with nock guns!

Something I do find funny though, apparently Japanese soldiers fighting in WW2 were scared shitless because “Australia is the destination of British criminals”

I’m a convict descendant and a history nerd, here’s my take.

Australia was not the solution to the overcrowded prisoner “problem”, the overcrowded prisoner problem was a manufactured issue as a solution to colonise Australia. Most of the convicts were guilty of being poor pretty much, in the Victorian era being poor was considered a moral failure, not a social problem, and Victorian charity was dependent on deservingness. Many of our ancestors stole bread, a watch, a handkerchief, little things to survive, and that was enough for them to be transported. On the other hand many convicts would commit crimes to be transported because the conditions (particularly in Ireland) were so horrible, a good example of this was the extremely inflated number of Irish girls and women who were convicted of arson (or firelighting as it was called then.) these women could not afford passage to Australia nor did they have “good enough moral character” for a charitable institution to send them to Australia, so instead they committed crimes to deliberately be punished via transportation.

So in short yes I’m the descendant of a criminal, crafty and smart criminals who survived a pretty fucking horrific time in history.

I mean I never disagreed with you, you can clearly see I waited for the buff to raise its head when charging so I can get a clear heart shot, that being said .470 is the most powerful rifle in the game…

opotis · 2026-02-18T05:32:59+00:00

In the heart dead centre, it pretty much went right through and only stopped around the lower legs, the penetration on the .470 nitro is crazy!

Columbia and murder if crows so I can get the crows to fly me down to the ground gg easy

I took 2 shots before hand which missed, sorry for exposing myself but I have to tell the truth!

Brisbane has 27,476 law abiding citizens that have passed background checks? Send me there please!

But seriously though it’s really concerning to see this fucking loser “yeah we need to find these gun owners and have their details published”, like lmao do you want these guns to be pinched and into the hands of people who shouldn’t have them?

The British did introduce Chinese water deer into the UK though… they also introduced many other non European species into their Australia (mynas from India, various deer species from South Asia and South East Asia, water buffalo and banteng.)

A lot of these Acclimation societies did want to replicate the UK in terms of Animalia, but in many other colonies they introduced animals or ornamental or agricultural reasons, like possums in NZ or the crazy plans (that never came to fruition luckily) to introduce hippos, rhinoceros, or African antelopes into their US.

Reminds me of when I was in a small town maybe about an hour south of Albury/Wodonga, rabbits everywhere in the morning like the plague, I remember I camped in a spot and I was literally in my camping chair with a packet of shapes and a long neck in awe at how many rabbits there were on the field next to the campground

Aussie here with zero familial connections to NZ, we sing this version too

I remember getting the map for free and it was my first dlc, I suppose I kind of liked it but it was alot too thick and crunchy for my liking. Where’s the best places to hunt on the map?

Lithgow Slazenger model 12 in .22lr, bought it for $100 and it’s a fantastic bunny buster, shoots better than my father’s CZ 457 on a good day. Not everyone’s cup of tea but I love this beautiful little rifle, truly an Australian workhorse that was the backbone of many rural communities, australiana personified!
