Cleaver Firearms are clearing out some of the last gen American rifles at pretty good prices in a variety of calibers. Basic, but a solid, accurate bolt action rifle. Does not include optics.

The gunsite scout in .223 is also $995 which is over $800 off.

Obviously licenses required, check out your state's regulations before purchasing. Despite some opinions held by people on the other thread, these are less controversial sporting firearms and at bargain prices.

        That was the reasoning behind 90% of the negative comments on the previous gun thread… i figured i'd get in early since its clear a lot of those being critical have zero knowledge on the topic or understanding of how different guns serve different purposes.

        I'm pro gun control, but there's a big difference between a basic hunting bolt action rifle in your gun safe, compared to a handgun tucked into your pants. a lot seem to be missing that point.

      Yes I agree, this is a great deal. However, it's cleavers who are selling them. I am so sick of going there are the goods aren't in stock. I now ring, then go, get what is in stock (no backorders thanks cleavers) pay with cash and leave asap.
      To their absolute credit, cleavers are generally very good on price. I has spent heaps of my hard earned cash in this place. I detest the gross rip-off that most gun shops are asking for firearms and ammo.

      You went to the wrong club mate. Often these guys are engineers, gunsmiths, inventors, imaginative people (and everything else). They are usually paranoid and have shares in tinfoil, but retards, hardly. Autistic maybe.

      Actually, retarded maybe some of them. They tend to vote for the same party that shafted them on gun laws in the first place, and blame greenies, modern US context liberal lefties, and the left in general. Sadly, it was the right that screwed them.

      I am so glad they are restricted. Kids are idiots. My pre-pubescent friends and I used to play cowboys and Indians with slug guns. It was just lucky we were miserable shots and the springs in them were f*****d. I did do an experiment with with my little brother to see if gumboots were effective armour for air rifle slugs….FYI, they aren't. Like many men of my generation and upbringing I love shooting however I handed in my guns at the first buy-back and never renewed my membership to the SSAA or my local club. I have never found an opportunity to renew the hobby and am relieved to be away from the narrow world view and paranoia that infects some gun users. It really is a privilege not a right and anyone who truly needs firearms for sporting use or pest control etc. and are responsible have no problems getting a license and adequate equipment. Anyone who thinks guns are good for home/self-defense is uninformed on the frightening statistics that clearly indicate you will more likely cause the death/injury of yourself, your family or a neighbour/bystander than effectively use them in a defensive situation. Don't let a romanticised view (yes, they are very cool) of firearms blind you to the realities. Life is not a movie or video game.

      Having said all that there can be no objection to people posting firearm related bargains as they will be useful to some of the members. It's perfectly legal for licensed gun owners to buy equipment that meets their needs and license conditions.

          I've had far better experiences (aside from the fact they're always flat out, but there's a reason for that) at Safari in Bexley.

    The 22's are ridiculously low recoil and if you're getting into shooting, that's a good place to start.

      I remember reading a GQ article "Inside the federal bureau of way too many guns" (Still available online. Google will guide you there) about ATF and tracing guns that were used in crimes. No one knows how many guns are in US, ATF is not allowed to use computers - all gun registrations are literally on paper… interesting read and their situation is one of the aspects or symptoms, I guess.

    • ausmechkeyboards on 17/07/2017 - 00:31

      When you have a population that is 30% unemployed and not looking for work and a culture full of drugs, hunger and homelessness, you end up with more crime.

      Australia's "golden era" was when guns were more accessible. And we had less crime across the board. Homicides in Australia hovered around 300 per year. Immediately after the gun ban they grew to ~320 per year, and after various police crackdowns in the early 00's we've finally gotten down to 280 or so homicides per year.

      Crime in Australia has continued to go up, though, with home invasions, rapes, robberies and more increasing dramatically since 1996. Which is all unrelated to guns- Australia experienced a culture shift (things became more expensive, drugs became easier to access, ghettos started to form in stronger ways). Luckily it's still not as bad.

      • kale chips suck on 17/07/2017 - 13:18
        +4

        Australia's "golden era" was post WW2, when there was massive gains in productivity, a booming global economy that would but whatever we had to sell at essentially whatever price we asked and, thanks to the war, mass production was getting underway.

        Consequently, employment was very close to 100% and everyone was well paid.

        In short, people had money and they were confident that their income would remain high and thus they also spent a lot. Which, obviously, further boosted the economy.

        People doing well generally commit less crime.

        The higher availability of guns had nothing to do with either the success of the economy or the lower crime rate.

        Having said that, I doubt your crime figures are factual anyway. Both in terms of then and now. A rudimentary review of http://crimestats.aic.gov.au/NHMP/1_trends/ shows that quite clearly.

        Anyway, I'm not personally rabidly anti-gun at all, but I am anti distortion of facts and recasting of history to suit personal agendas.

        For example, a better argument about gun safety would be the fact that Canada's gun ownership rates largely mirror those of the US, but their gun crime rate and homicide rates are substantially lower. This largely proves, statistically, that just having guns doesn't lead to gun deaths and that, in turn, means that the argument against all guns all the time because "more guns means more deaths" is invalid.

          People doing well generally commit less crime.

          Which is exactly what I said.

          @ausmechkeyboards: Actually, you didn't say that at all. You said:

          "Australia's "golden era" was when guns were more accessible. And we had less crime across the board"

          I don't even care. Re-read what I wrote. If you still think we have opposing views, then good luck to you.

      That's a hotly debated (both seriously and hysterically) and researched/analysed (both seriously and hysterically) question.

      You aren't going to get a rigorous answer here.

    I'm….I mean, a friend of mine, who I met at Tinder, wanted to know if this is a suitable tool to use if she wishes to make a large sum of cash withdrawal from her local bank?

      No. This is terrible for withdrawing a large sum of cash from the bank since the price is too good.

      If you like to withdraw large sums of cash, buy something HK ;)

    While I'm not a fan of Ruger rifles, this is a damn good price for anyone wanting to enter the sport. I'd say start with iron sights and then upgrade to a scope later on. Irons are good for learning.

    If you do the occasional rabbit/fox hunting, try out the .17HMR. The Americans LOOOOVE this round for hunting prarie dogs. Shoots real flat and real fast.
