Hey mate thanks for watching, love the comment!! New video coming soon. Cheers!!!

Hey mate!! Great comment! Yes josh is very proud of his 6.5! We are glad a man of your howa appreciation is watching!! Thank you! Cheers!!

Great video - both hilarious and substantive. Keep it up please

Mate thanks for watching! We are trying our best! Thanks for the comment!

Cheers mate we appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!! Stay safe mate!

Thank you very much for watching!! We do enjoy our shooting session that's for sure!! Thanks for the comment also!! Cheers!

Thanks for watching!! Yeh man! Guns for the good guys!! Appreciate it! Cheers!

Thanks mate.

I would choose the Howa

Yeh he's still learning!! His 3rd time shooting, first time with his own rifle!! He will get better!! Thanks for the comment man!!!

@@aussiegunners01 No worries. As a Tikka 6.5 shooter i had my hopes on a win over the Howa haha. Next time.

As Howa men ourselves we a very happy with the outcome! Haha

Hey mate! Thanks for the comment!! We know man!! We have fixed the issue since then!! Was a bit of an issue sighting in his rifle! He's all good now though! Thanks for watching!! Stay safe!

Excuses, excuses. Aim for the same spot on the target and the groups will be the same regardless the fore end.. Only legit excuse would be ammo selection. Tikka is typically finicky about ammo. Howa cold hammer forged barrels typically shoot a wider variety of loads better.. Just common knowledge.. Tikka’s are accurate, but it typically takes more time to figure out what they like.

I have a tikka t3 308. Not picky at all. Shoots 130gr and 168 gr same point off impact. 3 different brands.

Thanks again for watching as always! Very much appreciated!

Ask a politician for sure

G'day mate!! Firstly thanks for the comment!! Yes he was jerking the trigger for sure! After we filmed it we showed him the footage!! He did another video with us "LITHGOW VS RUGER" with his new 223 and it's a vast improvement!! Have a look and see what you think! But as for the tikka rifle itself I just think there a nice rifle with a good reputation!!! Thanks for watching man!!!!!

@@aussiegunners01 I'll give it a look for sure. It is hard to keep your mind on everything all at the one time when trying to shoot the smallest group you can. I think good marksmanship is mostly training ourselves to be aware of all the aspects like trigger control, butt stock shoulder pocket position & pressure, breathing & etc. I did have a go at Ozzie, over on Ozzie reviews one time because he was conducting accuracy review segments in windy conditions. Not a good result & certainly not applicable to any particular rifles accuracy potential. Ozzie does really good reviews but, that one aspect peeved me & my arsehole ached as a result. I recently watched a review of the Howa HCR, I think it's called, where the Guy (a yank) was having all kinds of feeding issues cause he was using the wrong mag. Who knows how many that shit review will turn away from Howa's now, & into the future. Fuckin shit show I reckon &, these kinds of fuckups are all over KZfaq. I just think that anyone putting out reviews on public platforms should have all their bases covered & be able to accurately portray whatever they are reviewing. It looks as though you blokes are onto though & I did otherwise enjoy the review. Regards..............Rotas

Thanks for the comment mate! Josh here, Next time I will have a decent shoot with his tikka. It does shoot well. Would be keen to see it used in a hunting scenario. Thanks for watching and stay safe mate!

Josh, reloads? very nice group if factory.

Hey mate, they are factory loads. American Gunner.

Hey mate thanks for the comment!! I don't know about Catching the 6.5 at 500m? Might put an unwanted hole in you!!! Only going by what we've seen!! Thanks for watching!!

Thanks mate we will combine arms when the take over happens!

Hahahahaha!! Yes was giving it a good yank!!! He was just really learning! He's better now though! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!! Stay safe!

Hey mate thanks for watching this one!! We definitely have our selection of iron sight rifles and we agree you have to be capable without a scope that's for sure!! But most of our rifles don't have the option. Scope or nothing! Except my Ruger 223!! Love that gun! Thanks again man!!!!

@@aussiegunners01 Do you have a Ruger Mini 14 or you can't have semi auto. Or maybe the Ruger Hawkeye? There must be a way around that there are ways to mount sights then put high rings on the scope mounts. I guess it's more trouble than it's worth. You don't want any problems. No need to respond.

No Ruger mini 14 for us mate!! They sell them at our local gun shop but no real way we can have one unless your a farmer for pest control!!

@@aussiegunners01 Well that sucks here in the suburbs you can use a pellet gun for pests like raccoons with your neighbors permission. I guess your talking about coyote or Dingos. It's strange it looks like you guys are in the wilderness when shooting. Bottom line is they don't want you to have guns. There trying here but the States won't enforce federal laws in many cases. Which is good news.

Hey mate thanks for watching!! Yes you are correct! I told Callum so now he doesn't feel so bad!! Thanks for the comment. Stay safe! Cheers!

We will try our hardest!!! You know he's crazy!!

Hey mate thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!! But I think you misunderstand what our channel is about! We don't claim to be anything where not, including top marksman plinking targets at long distances with a .22 and playing with our dopes!! We do it for fun not for setting records! Your meant to just enjoy it, not critique it like where at shooting school. Thanks for your input though. And as a fellow KZfaqr you should always keep your comments positive, don't put yourself in a pedestal. Offer advise, not criticism. Stay safe mate!

Hi mate. I appreciate your reply. I posted a comment rather than giving you a thumbs down 👎 as I my self would prefer constructive criticism rather than an anonymous thumbs down. Anyway I hope you are all keeping well. I hear the restrictions are parity tough down in Australia

Thank you mate appreciate it! Cheers!

Hey mate thanks for watching! That was his rifle! You gotta start somewhere! Takes time! Cheers!

@@aussiegunners01 understand all that!.....thats why I wrote what I wrote DA if ya gonna try do a comparison of brands at least have comparable shooters!!!!!!! :) even if its comedic!

Nice one Sir! You will not be disappointed.

That's crazy man!!! 13 months would tip us over the edge! Sorry to hear of your suffering!! Haha!! Thanks for the comment man!! Thanks for watching!!

Hey bro!! Yeh man we know!! He's gotten better!!! Thanks for watching! Thanks for the comment!!

Hey mate thanks for the comment!! But that's nothing it takes on average 1 year to acquire your first handgun!! And you can only buy 1 for the first 12 months after that!!! Thanks for watching mate!! Cheers!!

@@aussiegunners01 wow!!! I am not moving to Australia! Haha. Come to America my friend. I can purchase a hand gun and walk out with it in about 30 minutes. Last year i believe i purchased 84 guns... Maybe give or take a few 😂

Thanks mate! Appreciate the comment!

@@aussiegunners01 I'm just getting into long range shooting (300 yards lol) any advice? Starting small. Savage axis 223. Thanks

My Ruger scout 223 has a Nikon P223 scope mildot which is designed for a 55gr projectile and is good to 500m (supposedly) when sighted at 100m, each mildot down is 100m extra. Tested for sure at 200m! Cheers mate!

@@aussiegunners01 The savage is on layaway. It has a nikko stirling 4-12x50. I'd like to shoot it then decide if I want to upgrade the scope. Needs the axis trigger job also. But I'll shoot it first and see how it does

The government is just full of shit!! It shouldn't take that long!

@@aussiegunners01 I got mine in last week of June. Applied late August 2020 Ten months for a new license. No use contacting them and giving them abuse. It is what it is.

@@markf3229 Trying to get a pistol license, called multiple times. Even sent an email to ask why does it take so long, just to get given the polite finger and told to wait your turn. Still waiting. Already licensed Cat A & B and did not mean a thing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Gary! I do love my Howa 6.5 Thanks for watching and stay safe mate!

Holy hell mate!! Didn't realise it was getting so bad in the States!!! We heard about the ammo shortages but that's about it. Here we are kinda lucky with ammo it's just the government being assholes and delaying everything they can from getting your licence to getting your permit to purchase a firearm! We do appreciate you watching man!!!

@@aussiegunners01 I bought a new Tikka rifle about 14 months ago and have not seen ammo for it in the last 12 months.I am looking for a tikka T1x in.17hmr that I do have ammo for and the sportshop can't get one and says there is no hope for one at all.This last deer season I never found ammo for my gun at all.There is no shells on the shelves or any reloading supplies for about the last 12 months.Nobody wants to burn up any ammo at the range because you can't replace any of it.

Daaamm! We feel sorry for you mate! That would absolutely destroy us! Hope it gets better for you.

Gun shops were shut during lockdowns and it takes double the time for approval for new licence holders. So we got screwed around a little bit. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

The price of ammo is through the roof,the police and government are still looking for any excuse they can to remove firearms from public ownership.the police are using the public for target practice shooting people in the back with rubber coated bullets.

Good on Ya mate! It was definitely not the 308, it was the user! Haha Thanks for watching! Cheers 🍻

Thanks for the comment! Thanks for watching!! Tikka at 500 vs Howa coming soon!! Cheers mate;

Thanks for watching Jane!! Your obviously a high quality marksmen! Thankyou for your constructive criticism!! Now we don't have to cry ourselves to sleep knowing your out there!! Feel better? Stay safe!!

@@aussiegunners01 HAHA. was waiting for the 22lr comments. Dont care what other people can do as long as you enjoy yourselves.

Hahahaha! Thanks! We do like doing our intros!! Yeh the Howa out performed the tikka for sure! We were happy with the results! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

Thank you for taking the time to make that comment! Your wisdom is obviously beyond your years. Very informative! Thank you Mate!

@@aussiegunners01 Well thank you kind sir. I don’t know what wisdom you speak of. I’m merely implying the obvious. Cheers!

Good on Ya CHAMP! Stay safe!

Absolutely!! Love the howa's!!! Thanks for the comment and watching! Cheers!

Thank you very much for watching! Congratulations on your success! You are obviously an ok shot! Stay safe. Cheers................

Thanks for the comment there John. We use a private range and the manquines are just a bit of fun! Our mindset is that of fun and firearm appreciation so let's hope that catches on. As for the firearms lobby when they flag us I'll let you know. You probably won't like the ballistic dummy video we teeing up either. Other than that John thankyou for speaking on behalf of all the other common sense firearms owners who seem to enjoy what we do. Thanks for watching! Stay safe!

Good on ya Brandon!! I do enjoy these types of comments! Just helps me understand how I sound when I say irrelevant and pointless things! Plus I think you need to brush up on your history big fella!
