You also have a lot of friends in Canada. Take care God bless stay safe. 🇨🇦✌️

Noticed when you were setting up rifle on range, it was quarter way out I always before going to range take bolt out, rifle in fixed position look through barrel centre on target. Look through scope scope on the same target. Just a little trick to save ammunition and I do really enjoy your show thank you

The boy in skippy was Sonny. The banter was terrific.

The restrictions and process of buying guns there is insane. I can walk out of a store in 10 minutes with a gun. Or 3 seconds with a private sale. Insane

Tikka make sweet actions. Boy’s… those flies look intense 😂

With time Ant will be ethically and efficiently hitting the mark well done guys 👍

More of this please love this content 👍🏻👍🏻

Absolutely love my T3x Will upgrade to the MDT chassis soon. It is an awesome shooter, and I have the MDT on several rifles already I know the quality. You should find the MDT Chassis a super upgrade.

I have had a Tikka for 21 years, so smooth.

Absolutely fantastic skills and knowledge, Jack. Ant, good luck with your shooting, mate. Excellent video, guys. I really enjoyed it.Ant What's with the covert plantation on your left ear, camouflage? 😂

Fun fact the Picatinny rail system was developed at the military base by me. Also, as an American I have a very difficult time with your process. In America the idea of giving a reason why I want a weapon is absolutely ridiculous.

Always loved the wood stocks, many of them are quite the crafted art (and its' AOK to appreiciate the art in the engineering) but yeah the synthetics & chassis design is just very much smarter & far more practical. Think folk miss the smarts of buffer tube allowing adjustable length of pull. Maybe its just me but I need it adjustable...to get good eye relief with the stock, length of pull needs to be adjustable. If you only shoot standing or prone at a rifle range not a bit deal but standing, prone, out a ute window (for me at least) I need to alter it. Even drivers side to passenger side slight difference. Pistol grips on rifles I think are super under rated, ergonomic & I think makes the gun safer. Nothing better than making a tool better. I'm thinking in your flatter scrub like country you might have to jog on foot to get more camels. If that's the case lighter is better. Way better to control of a rifle is a must & just so smart it probably speaks Latin. I'm just picky set in my ways & maybe wouldn't ever want to save weight with a lighter barrel...only my thinking, I think barrel fatter=barrel better Great video. 2 thuimbs up,

Yes bore sighting & a rear rest.... Get to a precision rifle event & see all the ways they get stable! So many good tricks

Very interesting, I mean the process you described on how to get a firearm licence in Australia. That rifle looks like a standard t3x Hunter, not the Varmint Hunter. No check riser on the wood stock end sporter profile barrel instead of varmint one

I’m pleased the police are polite. But that process is staggeringly stupid, specifically designed to annoy people out of trying to get a firearms licence. NSW has some annoying stuff but WA is another level of unreasonable. You do know that there were less guns surrendered in 1996 amnesty that SKSs and SKKs imported and sold in Australia before ’96. They just disappeared. A hardware stores were selling “gun coffins”. Lengths of poly pipe with screw caps on each end. And they sold hundreds of them.

Swedish gunlaws are diffrent, but more relaxed on calibers etc. we can buy anything from caliber 45 to 22lr.. Most common is 9.3 and 308 for the large bore calibers. we are alloved 6 rifles on "hunting licenses". We also need a safe, but its quite simple - a safe with correct ratings/markings and if its below 150kg it needs to be permanently mounted to the wall/floor. But the mounting of a 75kg safe need to be "comparable" to a "loose" 150kg safe in practice. Anyway, regards to calibers we have 4 diffrent "groups" of animals and corresponding requirements on the calibers. to hunt the largest animals (moose, bear, wolf, wild pigs) you need a class 1 caliber - 140 grain with 100 meter energy of 2700J or 156 grain E100 2000J. thats practicaly makes 6.5x55, 6.5 cm and similar 6.5 calibers the smallest alloved. Calibers with e100 800J is class 2, thats roe deer and smaller animals.. Other then that we have class 3 wich is weaker centerfire calibers mostly 22 hornet, 22WMR, 9x19. And in class 4 we have 22LR and weirdly enough 17hmr. Anyway, there is no real stipulations about "how a weapon looks" - in the lawbook that is. But the police has had their ideas. For instance the Tikka t3 Tac A1 was a long time forbidden to buy right out, but the T3x with a Tac A1 stock bought later is perfecly legal. Figures. But this aug the agency that regulates hunting and tools for hunting, removed all writing about "looks" so now we can buy 308 AR's if we like.

The reason why a lot of us handed our semi autos in was they paid us more than they were worth, sometimes even double the price. It turned out to be a pretty good con, because if they hadn't paid us good money, a lot of guys would not have handed them in, because they had no idea how many were out there or where they were.

I thought canadian gun laws were a cludge. But our national fierarms program is a dream compared to your laws. In canada, you go do your fierarms course, pass a test, pay for your application/background check, after you pass, you get your PAL card (possessions aquasitions license) then you can go to the store present your card check out a few guns pick the one or 100 you want. They do the transfer paperwork, and you pay for your guns. It takes 20 min. When you need ammo, you go to the store, show them your card, pay, and walk out.

Ant it’s only in WA I used to live in Hedland and had a few firearms because I had mates on stations who would give me a letter When left and moved back to Perth I sold them I remember the Sargent at the station told me I was mad to give up my license as well I took up scuba diving instead

They put the Allen key on the buffer tube, because the Armalites already have indexing notch for the buffer retainer.

Great video. I have the same rifle in 30 06, in vic, here no problems getting a licence for that caliber as we hunt Sambar deer and it the most popular choice

Very interesting Jack and Ant. Spotted the wedge tail eagle circling in the last bit of your video. Wonder if it thought there may be a feed about with the shooting?

When you put the base screws in put a lil nail polish on them stops them vibrating out

Watched a video of airal culling of pigs via chopper, not sure what weapon being used, but definitely was a semi auto. What ever it's bore was, but the pigs didn't get up after being hit.

Nice video as always, did you not clean barrel after first couple of round then again after next 3-5 ? Done it with my T3X seems quite common practice with a lot of the lads on range

Jack do you know how to bore sight? Take the bolt out look down the barrel then the scope- easy way to see where your scope is hitting-

Australian gun laws are so sad, but we're headed there too now in Canada....

Love what you did to the tikka I’m thinking I’ll do the same to mine .what’s the ball park cost

Hi jack. Not sure if you have access to proof research barrels but they are lighter and much more thermally stable than any steel barrels. Savage barrels are quite easy to swap at home and they have many different prefit options. Something to think about. Keep up the good fight. Love watching the feral camel videos.

It may have been the camera angles but it looked like Ant cants the gun some clockwise. Love the content

God bless the USA and may we never have to beg or justify why we need our pews.

About 5 years ago i lived in finland for just short of a year working on a farm and some private forestry management. I was always corrected on my pronunciation of tikka and sako and i now say it like a Fin. But since coming home, everyone wants to correct my pronunciation here 😂 Its actually pronounced like ticka but like you get stuck on the "k" sound for a split second. And sako is like a cross between sacko and sucko. Almost a sahko but closer to sack. I cant have a good win 😂😂

This upgrade will help send alot more round down range. A good app for shooting with a scope is called strelok. Has hundred of scopes. You put in the distance and the ammo used and will show you your aim point at differnt rainges. A sniper tool.

Use the blue loctite on the threads

@jackoftheoutback out of interest how lkng were in the army and when did you get out?

With ammunition costs so hi and the volume you use do you reload ,or is that a WA no no .?

"preserve the wooden stock" brilliant! So I suppose you won't be smashing this one into the ground when it fails to feed. Top rifle the T3 though, so I doubt you'll have those sort of issues. Keep up the good work!

I’m 72 years old and I remember skippy, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

You mentioned (and we could see) that it has a bit of kickback, is that increased by lightening the stock?

Your Gun-Laws are similar shitty like here in germany. Here its more time consuming and much more expensive with all the storage, hunting license etc. but we can get a AR-Type .308 Win or bigger except .338LM and .50BMG that only with manual repeater.

10:18 don't use locktite on firearms. It's you want a thread locker only use thread locker meant for firearms such as Rocksett. Its a high temp ceramic thread locker designed for this application. I'd also use some glass fiber as a buffer against that chassis so it doesn't wear into each other if it doesn't come with any

ah, i have a 10 round 223 mag for my standard t3 varmint. is this not possible for the larger cal's? our culling is more often 223 with smaller animals, or head shot only.

aim for the same spot for three rounds with a dirty barrel and then adjust the scope to the offset

Is a catergory D licence attainable for you guys out there?

If you have a Dremmel ease the lock up notch on the Magpul mag's. How difficult is it for you to obtain/use a suppressor on your rifles? As surely you could make a health and safety case for them through Safe Work Australia hearing protection regulations!

According to official numbers over 3 million guns were not handed in or licensed. If you say half are lost buried or in dams/rivers that still a lot unaccounted for.

I dont know fellows i still prefer wood stocks with the 10 round mag.. I am in Canada amd have a 308 pump Remington as well as a 3006. A 243 bolt action and msny shotguns. We do have to hsve s license and be approved by the police but once we are licensed we can buy as many Firearms as we wish I always start with a 3 shot group at 30 meters and with the 308 i like to be hitting 1.5 inches high at 100 meter. Good luck fellows

So funny. On another note, will you have a hard case for the rifle ? Rolling around in trucks etc.

picatinny rail screws on the tikka you just push them out as they are usually unusable

Clamp on muzzle brake if the barrel isn't threaded

Bore sighting would of saved a whole heap of trouble

Hi Jack a few years ago I had my gun license for a security firm doing CIT However as it was a hand gun we had to go to a Gun range indoor or outdoor and do a firing test at different distance within a timeframe and also must get a certain number of hits ,with a rifle what’s the proticol or is there not one, is it because I was walking in public and shopping centres with a firearm as we also had to fix certain ATM,

Carful with the magazine selection. I have put my Tikka t-3 in a mdt oryx chassis and so far two aics pattern mags do not work. Magpul and beragra polymer magazines wont go up in and lock. The dimensions are way off. Fingers crossed i just ordered a mdt magazine. Be nice if oryx mentioned what magazine a tilka guy would need. Thet claim any aics pattern mag. Thats dead wring and ive wasted $100 because i tried to modify them a little.

Skippy Tastes Great.

Are you allowed to use a semi-auto browning bar?

Hi from a hunter in New Zealand, are suppressors / silencers not a thing over there?

I thought you said in a past video that the tikkas weren't good for pest control because the action would swell?

Jeez, it looks like an AR!!. Run, run for your lives.

i personally am not against guns have had them before did not do much for me changed to 70lb draww bcompound bow awsome

Luv my Chassis...gets me a Hard1

The WA process for firearms makes my governors choice to add a 3 day wait period here in CO USA look like nothing. Heres hoping someday it'll be more open

I just got back from a trip and at Cameron Corner in Qld I spoke to a farmer from Victoria who told me he shot a camel on the Canning Stock route and butchered it for the meat. Is it legal to take a firewarm across a state border? How about shooting a camel on someone elses property?

And I taught we Canadian are having it tough for owning firearms.

Here in the UK we have to apply for a licence which requires reason for obtaining which could be hunting or target use. We then need club membership proof or landowner permission and we have to give permission for the police to approach our doctor to ascertain if there are any mental health or physical impairments such as epilepsy which may impact the suitability of a person to own firearms. As we apply we can state the calibers we wish to own which basically falls into three categories for local use. Rim fire for small pests like rabbit with perhaps a .22 centerfire for crows and foxes, a small caliber centerfire for roe deer usually .243(ish) and a larger caliber for large game such as red deer and boar 7mm (ish). Very much larger calibers for say African hunting or for very long distance shooting would require proof of purchase of a hunt or membership of a club with long range facilities or exceptionally your own land with such capabilities. Sound moderators are very much a shall issue item and it is normal to apply for one for each caliber at the time of application. We pay one fee for the initial licence regardless of the number of firearms or moderators on it. It is renewable at cost every five years. Each initial and subsequent licence will necessitate a face to face interview with the local police or civilian assistant in charge of vetting each applicant. Further purchases require another application to have additional items added to the certificate. Ammunition quantities permitted are very much issued in line with your stated need. A casual stalker may be allowed to own 100 rounds of .243 whereas a gamekeeper may be permitted 500. Somewhat ironically you can hold unlimited quantities of reloading components so long as you don't make them into rounds. All rifles not in use must be stored in a cabinet conforming to regulations and ammunition must be stored in a separate safe or locked compartment within a safe. The current state of things is that no-one has to have training or undergo a hunter proficiency test but I see that coming with the continual drip, drip, drip of the bunny-huggers war of attrition on shooters. There is no ground swell of dislike for introduced pests in this country if the option is bloodshed. Regards from Scotland.

My opinion for what its worth. You need to review the brand of ammunition that you are using. In my experience, PPU is not all that consistent and does jam. Its worth having a look at the stuff that ADI is making. I believe they market it as Aussie Outback. Comes in various calibers including .308. Cheers and keep putting out these great little movies.

Jack I always centre the reticle on the scope before mount. Bore sight then start at 30m to get it on paper and windage spot on the go to 50m and 100m. saves plenty of time and ammo. I feel for WA shooter as the system is an absolute joke which doesn't stop crime eg Bikie boss shooting at public event. Vic has the best and fastest PTA system and Qld we have the best system of a bad bunch where data entry and paperwork is atrocious with firearms showing up as still in possession despite being sold years prior. As for PA discussion the is more questions than answers with that

I’m surprised that as a property manager that you can’t have a semi auto rifle

Sunny the bush kid his dad was ranger.

how do cope with all those FLYS !!!!! they would drive me mad ......

It sucks you guys can't have better access to better tools!

That thing kicks like a mule

F me Its the blind leading the blind😂

Thank goodness I live in Idaho USA! People don't use bolt action rifles in crime!

Should have bought a Australian lithgow

Jack are you ex military by any chance?

Its concerning what the WA Gov is doing with regards to shooters and firearms licenses.. Hopefully the SFF party along with the SSAA can lobby the WA Gov to roll back some of the BS restrictions and policies before they are exported to other states..

Looked like you where shooting with your middle finger ??

We behaved like sheep when they took our firearms from us in 96

Love your Videos ..I support the existing gun laws. Do the best with what you have. Just look at recent US incidents.

really interesting. Way more complicated than here in Canada for PAL licence which most do not understand. But gov't can't catch the criminals so here trudo is going after the licensed law abiding citizens. Even if guns look "scary" to trudo they are evil.

Stick yourself biggish board up at 10 m . Pit an aiming mark on there take a shot.and itseasy then to hold rifle on aiming mark, and adjust scope so bullet impact is 50mm low of aimpoint, then your good to go on paper or board at a 100m dont my rifles this way for last 40+years

Your father keeps saying he’s happy about the gun registration process you seem very frustrated about that as I would be.

When the Chinese come, I’m sure they’ll be happy that semi autos are not allowed and every gun is registered.

If one is any good with a rifle there is no need for semi auto. When crocodile hunting was in full swing the weapon of choice and availability was the ubiquitous Lee Enfield 303 of World War 2 vintage. This bolt action rifle was responsible for just about wiping out the crocodile

Not being a know it all, learn how to bore sight a rifle, saves a lot of time and ammo. Amazing how accurate bore sighting can be. With a good rest 3 shots at 50m 1" high, 2 shots 100m 2", done(308 150grn)

Are semi automatic rifles illegal in Australia? Sounds like Australias fun laws are draconic and the gov must be scared to have the public with any kind of semi auto rifle

Punishing law abiding citizens for the actions of criminals makes sense....

Man I thought our gun laws were bad in Canada. We sure aren’t far off but slightly better.

I can't understand the stupidity of the new gun laws in WA, when the farmers require you to shoot long distances so your not doing more damage to crops etc, on large paddocks. your need a rifle that has the legs to get to the target animal.

Seems absolutely mad to me that one of the safest and law abiding countries in the world will not ease the firearm laws ,my god even us in northern ireland have better laws!! We can apply for a firearms certificate,you must be a good citizen of course for this to be granted and any breaking of the law or even a dui will be an instant revoke and guns are impounded by the police Once we get our fac we can own any number of rifles,shotguns or handguns provided reasonable purpose is given We were still in a state of semi civil war when you boys lost your rights as free men,but yet now we have better laws than you now Seems to me an australian nra would be a start Let me know your thoughts BTW,i am just breaking in a tikka upr in 6.5 creedmoor,would do the job on the camels ,

Government is a terrible thing.

Lol Australian gun laws are insane.

Thank God for our 🇺🇸 2nd Amendment.

Think I caught autism from this 🥴🥴

OMG, the older fella talking with you, having to spoon feed him specific terminology; is like pulling teeth. Esp. when he literally starts, & you offer the term, then he repeats everything word for word all over again. No offense, but it's extremely annoying. . .

I grew up in the 60s and 70s with both Skippy and Flipper the dolphin. 🦘🐬I still have my Skippy kids board game would you believe and found a DVD of the skippy series for my kids about 10 years ago! Government rifle laws and regulations... boy, is that the proverbial elephant/camel 🐘🐪in the room! The same restriction shambles exists over the ditch here in NZL, and I don't even shoot.
