Daughter, 1st time shooting I had her learning on the 22 - was way over her depth After a couple of magazines she was keen to try the 308 3rd shot she dinged the gong at 180. Am tipping I picked up a good rifle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can hear the shot hit so it's a keeper. Not going to post the vid here though lol Had a fire of the 22 (about 100 shots), the 308 and also a 303 (mates dads?? service Lee-Enfield from WW1??) and a 45-70 (hard kicking lever action) Not my 1st time shooting, but they are my 1st rifles - definitely going to be heading out more. Heaps of fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBAF Bronze Donating Members 2,156 Member For: 7y 8m 1d Posted 09/09/19 12:50 AM Share Posted 09/09/19 12:50 AM Tikka are a great rifle even though they are entry level, you can’t beat them for quality. Im going to get another tikka when I get a chance but the one I want is banned in nsw because of the way it looks what grain were you running on both rifles? Assuming both were stand fmj as well?

Was tossing up between that or the Lithgow - went with the Tikka lite and not regretting it (yet) 150 and 180 Remington soft tip (core-lokt) on the 308 - both were dead on. Not sure on the 22 - I think they're 36gr hollow point Need to spend more time with the 22 to work it out better - half of us were shooting high and to the left, other half were low and to the right. They were grouping nicely though. Was just a cheap 2nd hand one with a cheap $100 scope on it, so aren't expecting too much out of it - more of a bit of fun for the kids and adults to plink with cheaply. edit: not going to make the hunting trip (today til weds) - bloody work - didn't realise it was mid week when I signed up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
