You've failed the first test. Perhaps the church of 12 guage is, after all, a better option for you. :(

I prefer to go bunny hunting with my 308.. I use Federal Vital-Shok, 130gn hollow point... about 3000 fps at the muzzle. Suffice to say it skins,guts and cooks the rabbit all at once... The original fast food!

No i got the A - Bolt 3, the x - bolt did look good but for my first hunting rifle I wanted something cheaper. This was $600, I need to save up for a scope but I havnt done any research yet.

Looked almost the same, now that I pay more attention, I see the magazine stick out a little... Meh, makes you wonder, what all this 'model upgrades' really do...

Ye, no worries, re: reloading. My hunting 308 is X-Bolt. I love it. Recoil pad on that thing is the best one I've ever been abused by. And like you said, very lite, it makes it worth it, after you climb a little with it, every cent.

The only practical difference between Tikka and Browning, this models anyway, is the bolt. Tikka is a little more 'rattly' so to speak, but very smooth, VERY smooth. Browning is tight, in a good way, but needs a bit more force. Going from tikka to browning I had to get used to pulling the bolt a bit further back. After the case ejects, you need to move it back a bit more to pick up the next one (at least in x-bolt). If you pull it back far enough to eject, it's not far enough to pick up the next round. Once you start shooting it, you will see what I mean. Just muscle memory. Very nice pewpew :)

Hi
I thought l would post my licencing times
I held a licence 15 years ago but let it expire darn it ...so much paperwork now compared to just going to the police station and getting a lic over the counter.

Ok here is my experience so far l stuffed up the process a little so maybe that is why the delay

Nov 17th 2007 posted application minus firearms safety course cert which was booked for 13 Dec (l was lucky to get into a course as my areas course were all booked solid till 14th Feb 2018)

I also posted my PTA my first firearm on the 13th Dec 2017 in a seperate envelope

Dec 13th pasted my safety course

Dec 14th emailed Licensing a scanned copy of my safety course certificate and asked if l needed to resubmit my application as it was incomplete

Dec 17 got reply email saying no we recieved your application on 22nd Nov and no need to resubmit

Jan 6th 2018 got letter dated 28th Dec requesting a copy of my firearms safety certificate And my ID needed to be certified by person who identified me in Part 7 not the police officer l used (opps my bad)

Send requested info back 9th Jan via express post so l have a record of delivery

Hoping l will get a reply soon .... seems to take longer ....so hoping its only because of the xmas new year break

Well, seems like it would have been alright, if you've read the instruction manual :P

I don't see why none of this can't be done in real time, if you already have a driver's licence, key card or a passport... But given the current process, you sir slowed yourself down.

SFA. What after 100 years of making firearms that haven't perfected the design yet? And with modern manufacturing techniques the accuracy of even very modest rifles will produce accuracy good enough for most hunting situations.

Got my payment notice last week Wednesday, the Monday before was the end of my 28 day period.
Paid for it and had my photo taken on Thursday. PTA arrived the following Wednesday, picked up my .22 yesterday and the plastic license arrived today.

Any day now!

Not me, but mate of mine finally got around to processing her license. Submitted it to eServices early last month. Posted in documents late last month. Approved today and waiting for payment notice in the mail.

26-03-21 Hard copy documents submitted to VicPolice
23-05-21 Payment notice received in mail
25-05-21 Paid via BPAY and had my photo taken (I hope this doesn't cause any issues regarding the speed of BPAY)
I will update when I get my plastic licence
