Newbie introduction

[Curr4n]

G'day everyone thought I would introduce my self new to shooting and the forums.
Planning on shooting at ssaa ripley once I gather the rest of my gear. I'm from the gold coast so a bit of a hike but so worth it I'm hopping.

Bought my first rifle not long ago howa 1500 in .223 and finally decided on putting a vortex crossfire ii. 4-12x44.

Hope to chat and see those that shoot at ripley when I finally get there.

Cheers guys

Gday Curr4n
You bought your first rifle question for you how big a safe did you buy lol

We all know buying them is addictive so if you plan on 2 get a safe that holds 20 you may need it . amo for a .223 $149 /200 at gun store in Margate but you probably all ready know that .
Save up and get a .22 much cheaper to learn on currently 22LR STANDARD VELOCITY
SPECIAL
$47.95 /PER 500 i think all shooters should learn on a .22 till they can shoot (JUST MY OPINION )

[MR. WINCHESTER]

Save up and get a .22 .....

i think all shooters should learn on a .22

And a shotgun !

Should be part of licencing, that everyone buy a shottie.

[tom604]

so now that you know that you NEED a .22,, shotgun, 308, 30-06,243, 7 mill, 30-30 ect ect you might as well get into reloading as well, just to save you money we are a good bunch here and dont bite so post away

Might be trout season in Tassie, the land of the 2 headed, but they arnt biting yet in good old Victoria the land of Sambar and foxes.

22lr, 223, 12g and 30 cal. (3006 is BEST) That will cover 90%. of your hunting requiremnts

PS to the new bloke. LOL
PPS. Im always right.

[bladeracer]

Don't forget the muzzle loaders!

[Curr4n]

Hey guys yeah I shot a but when I was a kid pre 96 move to a place with no more farm dumb move parents haha. Have shot some .22's and air rifles. Wouldn't mind an Adler just cause anti's don't like them I'm already thinking I should have bought a bigger safe I think it's a 10 gun safe prob squeeze 7 to 8 though. My shopping list is well.... to long to list haha.
From what I have heard I must protect my used brass at the range cause the reloading fellas are like seagulls to a stray chip.
Anyways cheers for the welcome everyone
