a tip : you can watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.

@Terry Rudy Yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :D

Yeah just awesome, I'm super happy with the results!

Mate I was shocked seriously...

No problem

Glad you liked it mate, cheers!

Yes I know and it's the cheapest of the factory ammo tested, so I wouldn't even re-load with those results :)

ozziereviews lol I wouldn't either!

Thanks mate, I appreciate it

ARM PUMP Productions y

For the price definitely!

Barrel. Predator. Just sayin' Love my American Ranch rifle.

Yeah I picked these game kings up even cheaper at 13.80$ a box of 20! That was about a year ago tho I have to be honest...

Especially not with this combo! I wanted to bring another budget review to viewers and honestly didn't expect the results of that OSA ammo loaded with the 55gr Gamekings, I'm still blown away with the results of it!

Thanks mate I appreciate that, you'll always get an honest review with exactly how a product performs for me at the time

Thanks mate

xrklkx I hear you. Funny, I cry a little also when I hear what you folks have to pay for firearms, lol! I have the ranch version, and its a fantastic rifle. Won't tell you what I paid for it though! Great review! I really enjoy this gentleman's videos!

Card too. Idk how you guys afford it. Come to the US!

Ahhh the price is bull shit! I paid $1500Aud for my CZ452 .22 rifle mind you i bought a leupold scope which was $400... but the gun alone with no extras is $1100.... the reason why they are so cheap is because its to prevent people who want to use it for the wrong intentions.... they make it expensive so its off putting to the buyer, and only people who need them will buy it. And yeah thats just a bolt action .22. Lever actions, pump, strait pull bolts etc are more expensive because they require less work to cycle how ever a cheap brand will mostlikely be cheap or as cheap as a standerd bolt gun. And for semo autos you need a certain license which you need a valid reason to own and again even more expensive.... now i know this sounds weird but i think our gun laws are perfect, only people you need them can buy them instead of want... and i feel safe with out laws cause idiots cant get them.... but yeah some things are bullshit and extreme... sometimes the US would be good hahaha but probs get murded lol

I just picked up my ruger american limited edition run in copper color chambered in 270 win for 199.98 on sale!!

Dark Angels rule!😎👍

Thanks for the info Andrew, good to know, cheers

I wonder which one :P

No just camo stainless as far as I'm aware... The only Thompson review I've done is here (one of my very first reviews) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5ploLaZzZfSdaM.html

I’ve got the American Ranch rifle 16” that takes the AR15 magazines topped with the Redfield 2-7X33...from a bipod using NORMA 55gr. match ammo it will shoot sub 1” MOA (best was a little less than 3/4”) at 100 yards all day long. Using 10 round magazines (Lancer transparent are my favorite) make shooting from a bench a breeze 👍👍👍...if y’all can get the Ruger American with the AR15 magazines in OZ...you won’t be disappointed 😊😊😊...I do enjoy Ozzie’s reviews 👍

Al 357 they need to put the adjustable stock on it & a set of iron sights.

Lol frl

I know this is a year old question. But owning both I would say that they are both excellent. The Ruger is more accurate with a broader variety of ammunition. The Mini action has a very short stroke and is fast to cycle. but the 90* throw isnt as clean as the Ruger's 60*ish which is extremely fast. The Ruger has better options for magazines now with the AR version which I have. Howa 10 rd magazines Ive had feed issues with. I like both triggers. THe Howa's i prefer for accuracy and the Ruger for everything else. Pound for Pound I think i prefer the Ruger a touch more.

I've had savages that will do the same

Not sure if its out shooting a Sako? maybe just the guy shooting the Sako.

Stands out in what way? If you're talking absolute best of the best class that is reliable time after time - the Anschutz 1770. If you're talking about accurate value for money - The Ruger American. If you're talk about an accurate high quality rifle - The Tikka T3 super varmint. So it depends on what you're looking for...

I have the t3x in .204 and that thing shoots like a dream. Clovers at 100m

Yes....you can indeed

Lefty For Dead. Do u like your rifle

Abanoub Daoud I have one of these in 308. She loves the Aussie Outback 165gr Gamekings. Old mate has reviewed a couple of other Howa's already and what he said about them is pretty much true for the Vanguard. Good bang for your buck.

Bozo The Clown thank you

The Lithgow is much nicer in terms of finish

Ha ha, very diplomatic. How does the accuracy compare, 1:8 vs 1:9 twist, etc.

The Lithgow shoots more accurately overall with various ammo, but the Ruger with those OSA rounds would be hard to beat.

Ozzie, how do you compare this to the Howa 1500 .223

Forget that. Doesnt come in 223 :-(

I don't know much about the 300 blackout. Why use one for foxes instead of a 223 or similar? is it a loudness issue being quieter? wouldn't be cheaper to run unless reloading would it? I like the 223 for cheap to run factory ammo, is pretty loud I guess, and point and shoot out to 200M, which I normally get my foxes to come in much closer without a problem.

Scott Mac yes mate it's more of stealth thing mate , my local gun shop has one of these in 300 blackout they are very quiet with a good can on them from what I seen on KZfaq, atb Steve

Probably not at this stage as it'd only be a calibre change, not actual rifle/model change...

ozziereviews thanks only thing to do is to go and bu one myself , I may be kicked out the house , then again more time for shooting lol

Oh well atleast it's a cheap rifle so you can always argue about how much you saved by buying it over another brand/model!

False I've had some rifles with 1:9 twist shoot the best with 69 grain and some 1:7 twist shoot better with 55 it depends on bullet oal and other factors

Same here.

@@keatonjorgensen8793 I’ve seen plenty of evidence 1:9 can stabilize the 68-69gr and higher just fine.

In Queensland as long as you have a shooters license you can buy powder. We’re required to sign a declaration at the gunshop saying we will only use the powder for reloading. Powder costs about $50 for 500g (1lb), small primers $55 for 1000, projectiles and brass are mostly imported and are expensive eg 450 bushmaster is a new caliber here so everything’s pretty expensive hdy brass $90 for 50, xtp mag projectiles $65 for 50, cheapest would be Berry’s hard cast 452 230g $200 a 1000 I get lead free so I mold and powder coat 452 projectiles which makes it a lot cheaper. So no real restrictions on components as long as you have a license. Powder and ammo aren’t allowed to be delivered in the post, and they have to be locked up in a safe which is separate from the gun safe. Common calibers like 223 and 308 are cheaper I guess when you factor in the no semi autos here we put a hell of a lot less ammo thru our guns, so my 3 rds thru a bolt action is way cheaper than your 30 round bursts ...I wish I lived in USA

Good question

I’m a Ruger fan but the Howa action is far superior to the Ruger American rifles. The Howa action cannot be beat for the money. Forged steel, one piece bolt, and excellent barrels. Here in the USA the Ruger American is I the best among the Savage, Mossberg, and Remington budget guns. A Howa 1500 in my opinion doesn’t come with frills but the construction of action and barrels are top notch. I can’t argue with the Ruger’s accuracy. That’s premium rifle accuracy from a budget gun.

Howa action is unbelievable. My favorite for sure. I like this cause you can put magpul mags in it. Unsure of the Howa 1500 in 223.

No nothing and I doubt they will do one...

Try lucky 13

No it's a hunting sporter, so 3 rounds is standard.

ozziereviews Good answer!

Yeah it's good to have an option for every budget...

Taz I tried Ruger America Predator in 223 and 243. Got rid of them. Weatherby S2 in both calibers far more consistent. $150 more in USA. BUT.. S2 too heavy to lug around. Range gun.

You can't have a firearm for home protection in Australia.

Yeah that is disappointing but you didn't want to stick with it? You just handed it back and went for the Tikka?

There isn't a brand of rifle that doesn't suffer quality problems eventually. Couple of years ago Sakos were going back. I ve taken a Ruger m77 back to get the ejector adjusted once but then just bought another one this year. People are too emotional over guns. If your car has one mechanical fault do you immediately buy a new one? Lol.

Foxes, wild dogs, small deer such as fallow

D'ya like dags??!

bison uberti well in that case...these are cheap. Seriously. They shoot well and definitely do the job but they're definitely cheap materials. Not sure if you've held one but it's not really something you can miss

Everybody except you knew exactly what he meant.

TzC27 that’s cause left handers are weird 😂😉

And it costs a whole lot more to run. And it's too loud, and it's too powerful. Each calibre has its own use. 243 is a FANTASTIC all round cartridge. If you had to own only 1 rifle, I admit, 243 is probably the one to get. But if you have a few rifles, 223 is cheap, powerful for varmints, no recoil, can be shot without hearing protection (although still recommended). 243 barks, just like 308. I'm not gonna pretend I'm tough enough to take the volume blast of a 308 case filled with 35gr+ of powder every time I pull the trigger. No thanks. Each calibre has a place.

Ahahaha

No, no it's not
