Yes mate these firearms are all used and have plenty of stories if they could talk.

Thanks mate and good advice

Use a shot gun for the snake before it bites you

@@HuntingwithStu Save your time and go to tacmedaustralia.com.au, get an emergency bleed kit with TQ, gloves and Israel bandage. then through the snake bandage in and you're set.

@@overlander123 yeah I was going to say the same mate LOL.

Save yourself some money, for about 8 bucks from chemist warehouse you can pick up a snake bandage with compression indicators. Use sticks from the scrub to splint.

Thanks mate pleased you liked it

Glad you enjoyed it mate

Thanks 👍mate yes it is a good spot.

Correct mate. I used to have a Ruger No1 in 375 H&H for Buff.

Plenty of Buffalo in the Northern Territory have been shot with a ruger M77 in 308!

Yes mate they are bloody handy

Will it mount to my Rossi stainless 44mag though?

@@greatdane3343 gun barrel stainless steel is usually fine with magnets, try it with any magnet you have handy and it should be fine. 👍

Thanks mate yes I tend to spend a lot of time on the balcony. Thanks again for the brass mate.

Pleased you liked it mate

Thanks 👍 mate ha yes that keeps the light from dropping down when I'm driving, ha.

Good stuff mate they are a great light

Glad you enjoyed it mate. Thanks for the feedback.

By the way, I grew up in St Ives, what a classic that you should mention my local butchery shop.

Thanks mate pleased you liked the clip. I appreciate the support mate. Small world hey St Ives butchery yes ha. One of my african heads is in his shop, an impala I shot years ago.

@@HuntingwithStu WOW!!! That's a really nice trophy mate.

Good stuff mate

No worries mate pleased you liked it.

LOL bloody classic hey? Yes I think Dad paid about $150 for mine and probs got it from Elders. I'll have to ask him.

Lol I was born in 1985

@@paintingandlife4288 pup

Thanks for the feedback and ongoing support mate. I'm heading out next week so stay tuned mate.

Nice rifle mate but as you say the type of hunting will dictate what works for you.

No worries mate

Hunting with Stu javelot pro is insane! Dropped a fox just by burning its retinas!

Thanks 👍 mate. Snowing! Bloody hell.

Congrats mate thanks for the support.

Yes mate

Thanks mate

Thanks mate yes most of us are pretty lucky hey.

I am noot licensed to get a semi auto mate but yes they do ok.

Good stuff mate congrats on your purchases. Pleased to have inspired you mate, good hunting.

Correct mate, love your channel mate.

Thanks mate

Thanks for the feedback mate. Quality gear is a must but sometimes quality comes from years of trustworthy use. I do like new flash stuff but I just can't justify upgrading when they are still on song.

Thanks mate

Good stuff mate perfect for pigs.

Awesome, thank you!

Congrats mate.

Thanks mate pleased you like them

Thanks mate

Yes mate no need for heaps of guns. Best of luck out hunting mate.

@@HuntingwithStu 🍻🍻🍻

It is a good gun mate

Hunting with Stu 👍

Thanks for watching mate.

Thanks mate, we should catch up for a coffee. What suburb?

@@HuntingwithStu still in awe, but live in Warriewood, wow...

Yes mate it is all about practice and knowing when to shoot and when not too if you think it might wound instead of an outright kill.

Hi mate, thanks for the ongoing support. I normally shoot the 30/30 from close in and out to approx 100m. Normally shotgun distance mostly.

Nice 👍 I am envious mate. The Sako is a quality rifle

Yes it helps mate it is a series of springs that you replace the factory ones with. Ignition Custom Engineering make the kits. Tell em Stu sent ya.

Thanks for the support mate I am actually out this weekend.

@@HuntingwithStu Well good luck with the hunt. looking forwards to seeing the action cheers dennis

Thanks mate I'm out actually hunting next weekend so stay tuned.

No worries mate

Glad you enjoyed it mate thanks for watching.

LOL thanks mate, hollywood by storm. Could you imagine me n the boys cutting the red carpet!

@@HuntingwithStu or at least your own hunting show!

Nice 👍

Yes mate they do ok.

Mate I'm not sure as I have had it so long. I think it is a Winchester case. Probs google 3 x gun case?

Good stuff mate. I like the sound of that shotty. Gonna google it now.

@@HuntingwithStu Its a el-cheapo Brazilian made U/O usually available with 28 - 30" or 20" barrels. Mine been customised from a 30" jobby, no chokes and a simple front bead, but I can hit a 1 gallon bottle at 50M with slugs. Short, light and easy to use.

Thanks mate it is a Winchester Model 94

I prefer the short barrel and lever action as well mate. That is great that you have a croc skin sling mate well done.

Thanks for the feedback mate. Where do you live, Australia?

@@HuntingwithStu QLD, 15 mins south of Brisbane. There doesn't appear to be a place nearby that lets you shoot more than one round per magazine. It's a sad place for shooters.

Thanks mate.

Thanks mate they do the job

Thanks a lot! Pleased you like the clip mate.

I actually like the look of the Sauer 202 Elegance and got to check one out and I didn't like the feel of it. I was also handed a left handed Sako Hunter 30/06 at the same time and it was just beautiful and half the price.

@@HuntingwithStu I get where you're coming from. I'm not a fan of the modern Sauers. My 90 is a basic grade one and I wouldn't swap it for a modern Lux edition one. Are you guys permitted to buy solids and heavy buck loads on a shotgun licence? Solids are Firearms licence only job over here and a real pain in the ass to get approval for.

The hat is from when I was in the Army. Yes I should have mentioned it.

@@HuntingwithStu I was just having fun Stu. I actually was referencing the bush hat you've worn in so many video. Classic Australian headgear! Everyone likes the Aussie bush hat.

Thanks for the feedback mate.

Thanks mate yes they are both great lights. I think the new one is brighter with a better setup regarding recharging I think

Thanks 👍 mate

I have put a slick kit in it mate to smooth out the action. Ignition Custom Engineering (ICE South Australian company) sell kits under $100 bucks to install yourself. I got a gunsmith to do it as they are a series of springs mainly that you replace in the action of the gun.

Thanks 👍It is actually a Ruger M77 MKII mate.

@@HuntingwithStu You're welcome Sir, Mk2 is great too.

Hawkeye is the current name for the MKII action. Those marketing wizards at all the companies never rest!

@@garyevans3421 Actually there are a few differences between the Hawkeye and the MK11. I own examples of both. The main differences are the trigger, and stock configuration.

@@RickNethery I remember when I first saw a stainless steel Ruger rifle. It was the then fairly new Mk2 that I at the time hadn’t looked over. I was shocked that it looked as shiny as Excalibur! It was coupled with the “boat paddle” stock that I thought was terrible looking! I now know that the stock is very popular in Alaska, so I guess it is durable, but I thought the mirror finish would frighten off any thing worth hunting. Later, when they introduced the Hawkeye All Weather, I really liked the looks. The finish was matte and I really wanted one. They were high everywhere I looked so I tried to be tight until I scraped up the scratch and finally ordered one in 308. Man, I just couldn’t get it to group and finally sent it down the road. The funny thing was, before I got the 308 scoped, I ran into a good deal on a new one in 223 as well. After my bad experience with the first, I got cold feet about the 223 and was afraid I would have a second nearly new rifle I would have to sell used, I sold it to a friend and had to learn second hand what a tack driver it turned out to be! 😂

There is so many companies out there to chose from mate. You could probs google non chinese made hunting gear. However, I like Vortex scopes, Swazi clothing for cold climates and often a good light weight fishing shirt makes for a good warm climate top. I use Olight Australia torches and Ruike knives. I just recently received accessories from Stason Smith who do slings, ammo belts etc made in Russia. Top quality stuff.

Leupold is a good scope also, Aimpoint or Docter sight is a very fine red dot also,so much kayaking you do,(fun fact they started with making of submarine periscopes.)

Thanks mate yes a 22 would be good as well to the gun collection.

Bundy cans, once ya see one the rest are the same, ha.

Heavier than BBs we call em SGs

I think Lithgow make a sporterised rifle which is nice and light mate.

I hav a lithgow la102 in 308 and also find it heavy but very accurate .. Went and got a Ruger predator in 233 and love it for a cheap gun.. Tikka t3 lite is a very nice light gun

Another vote here for the Tikka. Their bolt feels like it wants to slide back and forth on its own, and usually very accurate. One can always find a lemon in any brand, but the Tikka is a good bet!

Same barrel since buying it in 1992 mate. I have fired many hundreds of rounds through it but it still shoots well.

Hunting with Stu awesome, thanks for the response Stu keep up the great videos🔥

It is pretty cool hey mate

@@HuntingwithStu Oh yes, and that patina adds to your rifle's attractiveness.

Thanks mate yes it hits hard.

Once loved are often the best.

Sounds nice mate.

Yes I think so mate

LOL thanks mate, ha yes left handed crocs.

Thanks mate I am a retired army bloke and no ear plugs but we should.

Thanks for getting back to me , you’re a bloody good shot and I love watching your shows..

LOL yes mate I will spend it when I see the quality, ha. We need to do another Cape York trip mate.

@@HuntingwithStu if this bloody 'Rona ever pisses off we might get the chance!

It is pretty a cool sling hey. Yes that is the definition mate, ha.

@@HuntingwithStu I don't know much about crocodile leather but you can purchase alligator skin leather from a number of retailers and craftsmen in the U.S.A. The American Alligator was nearly hunted to extinction until heavy restrictions were imposed during the 1950-60's and their numbers have rebounded incredibly. Many of the products made from their skin is now from farm raised gators but hunting is legal again in many states and we have no shortage of high quality rifle slings made from their hide.

TQ?

Hunting with Stu tourniquet!

Hi mate it is an old Winchester gun case mate. Had it so long I can't remember when I acquired it, ha.

LOL yeah 25 ha.

Yes mate.

Thanks mate yes it is pretty cool the old Winchester.

There hard to find these days

@@dashbel506 I live in west Texas. I remember in the early eighties when you could’ve made a couple of hundred mile circle and hit all the gun shops and pawn shops and bought a pickup load of them for a $100 a piece! Wish to heck I had done it. We just can’t see the future!

@@garyevans3421 3500$ in Australia

Yes I could have worded that better. My hunting buddy Pood has one and it is a great rifle.

Hunting with Stu all good brus. 👍

Nice! Buffalo meat is my favorite. Do you sell any of the meat?

I don't have it anymore mate.

@@HuntingwithStu ya kidding. Thoughts on the gun? Im about to buy a lever shotgun...

Cool, I used to have a Ruger No1 falling block 375 H&H which is left or right handed to shoot due to the lever.

Well done mate

@@HuntingwithStu yha it took me a while to find an importer but I found a company called black aces tactical out of Texas and they sent one to me for a pretty decent price I plan on using it for coyotes

Add a chest seal and an Israeli type bandage and you’ll be set

Thanks mate

Thanks mate it is a Suzuki Sierra

Thanks mate
