Sergetol: Nice rifle how far is the 10/22 accurate to?
Blacksmith: Yes, I am just getting into hunting. We have a 16000 acre property, beautiful country. Mainly Kangaroo’s and rabbit for the moment,but there are hogs and dingo’s there. I just have to track them. Building a short and long range. I cant wait to hit target at 1000m, there is a really nice ridge sitting up high to do some overwatch.
powerful for what? cartridge for a handgun or rifle? for target shooting, or hunting? for a home protection, or edc? for LEO or civilians? etc…
I think, the question is what cartridge would be enough for all of the above?
my favorite calibers: 9x19, 357 Magnum (38 Sp), 30 Carbine, 223/5.56, 7.62x39, 6.5mm (x55, or Creedmoor).
do not need to go bigger.
what difference does it make, which caliber did you missed with?
We’re the exact opposite. I only have a m91/30 but my uncle and cousin let me shoot their thumpers a lot. I’m saving for a 375 SOCOM upper at the moment.
In USA revolver lovers are split for Colt or Smith and Wesson users. I have both Brands.
Colt is a very cool Hollywood tool. Python is a top swig cylinder model.
SAA Peacemaker 1873 - one of the most historical item. Cool shooter (I prefer in 357 Magnum). Ruger makes a nice replica (original Colt is $$$$). Uberti (Italy) makes even nicer one and closer to original.
However, my personal preference for shooting is Smith and Wesson. specially, the old once. they have better trigger and better grip (for me!).
model 66 - “Policemen Dream” - Best for carrying and shooting.
@AussieOutdoorOps, Can you get access to old mil surps like the Mosin Nagant, K98k Mauser, or etc? I’m curious as to what all long guns you all can have over there. I’m vaguely familiar with some of your firearm laws but not well versed in the specifics.
