It got me thinking, imagine if we did get to buy 10/22... it will probably costs us each $2000 seeing these ridiculous prices as of late (Especially surplus military rifles).

When I bought my 10/22 in 1983 it was $220. My Remington 788 .222Rem was 199. A sporterised M96 6.5x55mm was $160 and an original M38 6.5x55mm was $99. The 10/22 was never a "cheap" rifle. Nowadays the 10/22 is $700, as is a Remington 783. If anything, the 10/22 is now cheaper than it was 35 years ago. I paid $800 for my M38 though, milsurps are getting expensive these days.

Typical simple NO4 MK1 going for around $1100-1300 these days (Which is ridiculous).

So if I am looking at voting for someone to support the farmers (which is my whole extended family) and for better gun laws in QLD, who should I be considering?
Consider the Queensland Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party, as well as fighting for shooters and fishers, we have been extremely active in our representation of the farming community, I am an ex farmer and QLD State Chairman, we have a strong representation of farmers in the party in Queensland, myself and one other committee member traveled to the recent tree clearing laws protest outside of parliament, and we were at Farmfest in Toowoomba for the third year running.
Jump onto our QLD SFFP Facebook page and you will see from our posts that we are proactive in highlighting farming issues, I can say with confidence our representation of the QLD farming community is genuine and committed, I see your considering the LDP, without knocking them or starting and us and them debate, the SFFP overall are far more committed to and in touch with farmers and the issues effecting them.
We are currently offering a $10 membership deal, which was taken up by farmers at Farmfest and other events we attend, the more members we can attract, the more we are able to achieve, you and members of your family and friends would be most welcome to join up if you so choose, if you require further information, do not hesitate to ask or alternatively you can contact me on cwheatley@sff.net.au
Ok mate awesome! I will look into that. We are actually farmers in the Toowoomba region, so dad was actually at Farmfest. I didnt go this year unfortunately.

Ive not paid (yet!) over 1k for a milsurp, picked up a minty no4mk1 with a central peep for $700 last year, has become my favourite 303.My lovely Lithgow no1mk3 was $800 late '17 and i also found a really nice Martini Enfield that came in at $700 last year.
I fear next cab of the rank will bust the 1k mark, its Martini Henry time!

I generally include the costs involved in getting it into my hands. My No.4 Mk1* was $700, but $800 is a more realistic cost with freight and fees. The most I've paid is $1700-odd for my '03-A3, but it's a refurb with a new barrel so well worth it I think. Probably of no interest to a collector though. And $1100 for my Brno Mauser Kar98k was steep, but it is a beautiful example.
I'm hoping to look at a Finn Mosin, a Turk Mauser and a No1. Mk3 this week though.
