G'day
Gday there everyone. I was a member of the old forum a few years back. Just thought I'd say hi. I am 23 and purchased my first rifle when I was 18. It was a model 94 Winchester XTR made in '79. I guess you could say I started off big hehe. Since then I have bought a 9422 and a Tikka T3 in 30.06. I started reloading and deer hunting about 4 years ago. The 06 is used for sambar deer down here in the Victorian high country.
I went to an auction down here a recently and will cover this in my next post.

'g day Chris.
I just helped host a group from NSW.
Too bad most of them were non-gun politicals....
(one was a "vertibrate vermin specialist" who preferred Poison to "shooting"... which she obviously thought was an Evil best handled by Government Sniers in Helicopters...

G'day Chris,
I'm just getting back into the sport after about 20 years. And I know that at least one of my rifles is going to be a lever action. I was very disappointed that the 375 Big Bore is no longer available. I found it a fantastic cartridge. And the 38/55 just seems a step backwards as a usable cartridge although I'm sure it is of interest to some from a collectable point of view. Oh well, I have always liked the 444 but never owned one. Then there is the 30/30, 44 mag, 45/70, 22LR etc etc etc and they are all great fun.
Cheers
Troy

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the outcome of the vote.

Hey Bruce, I dont know if you shoot lever action at a club level, any chance I might run into you at the state shoot in Kal next week.
