Hi there pomemax.

[Boatman]

Hi Aaron, welcome.

[Kipper]

As far as centrefires go, there is so much out there, I have no idea where to start!

A .223 Rem or .308 Winchester is pretty hard to beat for a first gun.

Either are good for target shooting.

.223 will do varmint and small game.

.308 will do everything up to hunting large pigs, deer etc.

Hi Aaron!

So you moved to Australia from SA. What were you thinking?

It's probably good that you are new to firearms so you don't realize the mistake you made. Just a gentle ribbing. I am a foreigner but glad to have you. You definitely came to the right place. Good luck with your new hobby!

[MickGC]

Gday all,
My names mick, live on the gold coast and keen to get into a bit of shooting.
I really want to get into some hunting, more for food / eradication of pests than trophys
would also like to do some target shooting to learn skills / practice
I have completed a safety course and got a safe, applied for license about a month ago, hopefully that will come soon
hoping to learn as much as i can and work out what to buy as far as a rifle or 2 goes

Cheers
Mick

[Gwion]

G'day Home-boy.

Still cranking out some good Aussie made shooting accessories???

[Gwion]

Good luck with the new hobby, Mick.

PS: My best advice is to start putting money away because you are going to need it! LOL

[Homer]

G'Day Fella's,

Thank you for the Warm Welcome!

Nah Old Bloke, no good at literature but I make up for that by demolishing Donuts! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Donuts!!!

Nah Gwion, been very quite on that front. Lots of old ideas but a total lack of motivation.......................

Yes Apollo, I was banned from that other forum, for posting a notification about the book "In The Company of Cowards", that had been released by Michael Mori, the US Army lawyer that represented Aussie David Hicks, during his legal trial! I assume this book was not very flattering toward that slimy little political animal, we had as a PM at the time, hence my being banned!
Further to this, rumor has it that the ssaa has been infiltrated by members of a major political party, and thats why they are so ineffective (deliberately), on the political front.
Given this, has anybody ever considered that this very same political party, may have set up a Shooting Forum?

Sorry about leaving you with that BAD Thought, but Good ridden's to that forum, their loss not mine!!!

Doh!
Homer
