Frequently Asked Questions

What are good scope options for long-range shooting on a Tikka T3X A1?

For long-range shooting on a Tikka T3X A1, both the KAHLES K6i 6-24x56 and the Schmidt & Bender PM II 5-25x56 are excellent choices. They offer ample elevation adjustment for reaching 1000 yards, especially with a 20 MOA mount. Personal preference after viewing the glass is key.

What scope is recommended for .22LR PRS rimfire shooting and hunting?

The Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x40 with a side focus is a strong recommendation for .22LR PRS rimfire and hunting up to 200 meters. The Leupold Custom Shop can create custom dials (CDS) for specific loads, aiding in quick elevation adjustments for varying distances.

What caliber is recommended for a first firearm like the Warwick WFA1?

For general use and cost-effectiveness, .223 Remington is often preferred over .300 Blackout due to cheaper ammunition, allowing more practice. However, .300 Blackout might be better suited for specific tasks like pest control with lighter projectiles.

What are the typical police inspection procedures for firearms in Queensland?

In Queensland, police usually provide 48 hours' notice for firearm inspections, arranging a suitable time. Unannounced inspections are rare and typically require a search warrant or specific licenses like dealer or armourer licenses.

Where can I find quality steel targets on a budget?

STS Targets in South Australia is highly recommended for quality steel targets. They use Australian-made steel, focus on product quality, and provide excellent customer service, making them a good option for budget-conscious buyers.
