Frequently Asked Questions

How quiet is subsonic 22LR from a long barrel without a suppressor?

While a 20-inch or longer barrel with subsonic 22LR is quieter than from shorter barrels, it's still noticeably louder than shooting suppressed. A 27-inch barrel, like on some CZ rifles, significantly enhances quietness, especially with subsonic ammunition.

What are the potential issues with extended magazines on the Lithgow LA102?

Extended magazines, particularly 10-rounders with heavy calibers like 308, can put significant strain on the Lithgow LA102's magazine retaining spring, potentially causing it to bend. The Mod 2 version is believed to be lighter and may mitigate this issue.

Is the 224 Valkyrie a viable cartridge for long-range shooting in Australia?

Yes, the 224 Valkyrie is expected to gain popularity in Australia for long-range shooting, especially for those sensitive to recoil. It offers supersonic performance out to 1300 yards without the fatigue of larger calibers.

What's the best budget rifle for farm use in 223 Remington?

For a budget farm rifle in 223 Remington, the Ruger American is recommended for its accuracy, affordability, and durability. Paired with 55-grain Game King ammunition, it's an effective setup for pest control.
