      What exactly?

          What's the problem? this is a genuine discount on an item that is available to Australia, is that not what this website is for?

          @0p: Just no. We have strict licensing laws, strict background checks, strict storage requirements, strict firearms categories restrictions, mandatory waiting times and a culture that isn't so deep rooted in patriotism, amendment rights and gun stupidity.

          @maxwellian:

          Spot on maxwellian. If I see a deal I'm not interested in I simply don't click on it. I have no idea why people click into these deals just to voice their unwanted opinions because they "don't like it".

    I have the long action Howa 1500 in .223 and it is my most accurate rifle. Outperforms others well over twice the price. I imagine the short action is just as great to shoot. Highly recommended.

    • Elderlymango on 08/08/2017 - 22:15

      Can second this. I have a Howa 1500 in .308 that is absolutely fantastic value.

    • cala90 on 08/08/2017 - 22:30

      +1. My Howa .223 constantly shoots 1" groups. Was recently looking at a Sauer 30-06 but I'm thinking of going for another Howa for half the price! :)

        My Howa .223 constantly shoots 1" groups.

        With hand loads presumably? If not, what factory ammo shoots MOA please?

        • OhPee on 09/08/2017 - 08:05

          Here's a question. On the Howa facebook page everyone disses factory loads. Sure i get that hand loading will get more balanced for the job but aren't some factory loads pretty good?

        • cala90 on 09/08/2017 - 09:35

          Nope, just OSA Game Kings in a 55gr. I bought a 20pk to test them out when I bought the rifle and they just worked so I've stayed with them.

          Edit: I will add that I don't shoot competitively so that might make a difference. If I was I'd probably use hand loads. My results are purely based on sighting in and practicing as we like to have our rifles spot on out in the field.

      You have a short action Howa, I've never heard of a long action .223 ;)

      But I agree, they're great rifles for the price. All steel too from memory, no plastic.

    Good for pest control

  • Phoebus on 08/08/2017 - 23:05

    Are these good with 5.56 mm ammo?

    • Hayesy22 on 08/08/2017 - 23:12
      +2

      I wouldn't recommend it. 5.56 is loaded to higher pressure

    • Gershom on 09/08/2017 - 07:06
      +1

      5.56 is fine. Don't worry about anyone saying otherwise. Just monitor for overly flattened primers.

      • Malarkey on 09/08/2017 - 08:55

        +1 the rifle will easily handle the extra (if any) pressure.

        • gtech on 09/08/2017 - 14:29
          +2

          Actually what Hayesy22 is saying is 100% correct!

          If you are referring to 5.56 calibre being the same then i would agree. [There are minor differences if you want to get pedantic but in general 223.rem = 5.56mm]

          However if you are thinking of using surplus military ammo the be aware that these rounds are loaded to higher pressure (from memory 5-10 K PSI). This is should be within your rifle tolerance levels however it’s a risk that you are taking and it will promote fatigue a LOT faster. (similar to of using a an afgas in your car)

        • Gershom on 10/08/2017 - 08:48

          @gtech: This higher pressure would be true in some cases, but would be within the tolerances of the action. I agree that I would not use ex-mil exclusively, I would buy it cheap and fireform the cases for hand loading. 26 to 28 grains of Winchester 760 ball powder over a 52 grain boat tailed hollow point would be an excellent starting point. That load gave me 0.5 MOA all day long at Little River in my Weatherby.

    guns! har har har har but in all honesty, it sounds like a good deal if shooting sh*t is your thing. I wonder what other hobbies and interests will get featured? Guns seem to be a new thing recently - not that I hate it! I love that there are new product categories being featured. Even if it is something that I don't really understand.

  • Maz78 on 09/08/2017 - 08:48

    Dumb question, but in Vic how do you go about using one of these at a range? I did it a few years ago in Vegas and enjoyed going to a gun range..
    I believe in Vic you start out with a pistol license (of sorts) but to use a rifle doesn't that require an advanced license?

    • 2jzzzz on 09/08/2017 - 08:54

      Other way around, handgun licence a lot harder, longer and more $$$ to get. To get a Cat A/B licence (rimfire/centrefire bolt action rifle) you attend a safety course, submit application, deemed a suitable person, apply for a permit to purchase a rifle and buy rifle.

      • Maz78 on 09/08/2017 - 09:02

        Cheers.. Might look into it.. Not many rifle ranges though in Melbourne from memory..

          There's actually a few. My side is Little River, out to 1000m I believe. Heaps of clay target clubs and another rifle range in Springvale. There's a bunch of handgun clubs too.

      I'd say the last thing we want is people who don't participate in the community trying to dictate what the community wants.

      You are both correct and incorrect.
      Nobody in wants Australia to become like the US where on an average day, 93 people die from firearms (violence, accidents and suicides). But Australia is a very different environment. We don't have the NRA telling us to worship guns. We don't have anywhere near the same level of blind and ill-informed patriotism to an outdated amendment to our constitution. We have far more restrictions and requirements to own and maintain gun ownership. This is not trash, nor do we have a gun culture.

      • NABit on 11/08/2017 - 08:43

        You know by far the most amount of gun violence committed in the USA is at the hands of gang members and drug dealers, who seldom use legally purchased firearms, and who certainly do not receive support from the NRA or their 'outdated amendment', as you put it.

  • Keest69 on 10/08/2017 - 13:12

    These are fantastic value guns, more accurate than I'll every be. I got the stainless version a while ago but it was a bit extra. I wouldn't get the Nikko scope though, for about another $130 the bushnell or Nikon AR series scopes are brilliant and definitely worth the upgrade in my opinion.

    • Hayesy22 on 10/08/2017 - 13:33

      I agree with spending more on the scope, I have a Bushnell elite 3200 on mine.

    • thebargainhunter on 11/08/2017 - 08:58

      Totally. Paired mine with a Burris Fullfield E1 and love it.
