Hey /k/,
Ausfag looking for a new hunting gun.

I'm tossing up between a Howa 1500 w/ varmint barrel or a Ruger Gunsight Scout

I intend to shoot kangaroos and goats with it as well as some longer range plinking.

I am leaning towards the .308 calibre too but .223 is also an option. What are the pros and cons of each?
>>
>>30457511
you can have guns?
>>
>>30457761
no semiauto rifles and no pistols IIRC
>>
>>30457761
I'm on a category A&B which means I can get bolt action up to 10 rounds
>>
>>30459014
Gunsite Scout has ten round mags, so it makes the most of your limits. .308 is probably better for reliable kills of kangaroos.
>>
>>30459061
The Howa 1500 can also be upgraded to use 10 round detachable mags. I'm more thinking about performance or functionality. The long eye relief on the Ruger freaks me out because I've never used anything like it before. It does have some appeal to it though.

Whats the deal with roos? Hunting license issued on state by state basis or what?

Don't forget to vote LDP.

Howa. No contest.
The action on Howas is smoother than sliding one warm stick of butter across another.

It's not advertised a lot because it's designed primarily as a scout rifle, but the GSR comes with regular scope rings and a removable rear sight, so you can use a regular optic if you want.

Howa or Tikka

Weatherby Vanguard's are Howa actions with different markings on them, and Tikka T3's are literally Sako's with an ass ton of polymer

Hunting license is seperate to your firearm one, it's just a course and a practical exam,

Voted 2 LDP. Too much riding on the economy to bank on a minor party and give the greens a chance.
>>
>>30461068
I've heard great things about Tikka. For the amount of shooting I do compared to the price $1300 is about my mark.
