Aussie Reviews is planning to review the Pulsar Krypton 2 XG 50, a clip-on thermal imager, and has recently acquired the Suan Arms Tax Taurus shotgun, which will also be featured in an upcoming review. Initial impressions of the shotgun highlight its build quality and handling.

What is the current situation regarding ammunition shortages and prices?

There are significant ammunition shortages and price increases occurring, particularly noted in the US with record sales. This trend is expected to impact Australia due to global demand, potential supply restrictions, and the weakening Australian dollar, leading to higher prices for consumers.

What are the police powers for firearm storage inspections in Queensland?

In Queensland, police powers for firearm storage inspections are generally limited to licensed premises like ranges or dealers. For individuals with standard firearm licenses, police do not have an automatic right of entry to private residences solely for storage compliance checks under the Weapons Act 1990.

Which rifle caliber is recommended for deer hunting and target shooting?

For deer hunting and target shooting, the 6.5 Creedmoor is highly recommended due to its reduced recoil compared to a .308 Winchester, making it more comfortable for extended use. It's also effective for taking down game like pigs.

What are the recommendations for quality rifle scopes?

Japanese-made rifle scopes are considered a benchmark for quality. Recommended brands include Vortex Optics and Trijicon, particularly their AccuPoint line, which offer excellent glass and durability for both hunting and target shooting applications.
