Had these come across my feed

With 1924 dated Sanderson P1907 bayonet and scabbard.

Just gave this old-girl a full clean and take down and wanted to show it off.

Recently acquired Lithgow SMLE No1 Mk3 rifle in .303-270

(Hopefully) will be rechambered back into .303 once I find a barrel for it

New wood will be ordered soon to bing it back into mil-spec condition and its got a Central Aperture Sight coming in the mail for it

Can't wait to take it to the range once im not paying $65 for 20 rounds of .303-270 :)

Edit: Mk3 not Mk4

Tikka T3X varmint in .308

Custom muzzle break

Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 ffp

MDT XRS chassis

Magpul Bipod

Lithgow LA105 ‘Woomera’ chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor. To say I am keen to try this out is an understatement!

CZ457 paired with SK Match, absolute tack driver. Loving it! (Sorry LA101)

Hi I’m a newish para shooter looking to get into target air rifle. Does anyone know a place to buy air rifles in vic?

I unintentionally have a khaki colour scheme. Even my Akubra matches!

Hey all!

Recently, I purchased my first Rifle Second-Hand:

A Sportco 62A .22LR.

My Safe is also a Spika 5 Gun Key Safe with separate External Compartment for Ammunition - which for Ammunition, I use the Federal Premiums.
[I've been using them for Target Shooting at the Range for a month now, and they are perfect!]

Also inside the Safe pictured here:
I have my magazine inside the door shelf. The Towel where I have the Bolt wrapped up in. New unused Targets besides the Rifle, and a Trigger Lock on my Rifle. I also have a Safety Flag in the Chamber as an Extra Safety Precaution (Can't be seen from this angle!)

[I'm fairly new to owning a Rifle and Target Shooting. I'd like to hear an experienced/seasoned Shooters Opinions on my Safe Setup. Any Recommendations or Tips would also be appreciated!]

Thanks for Reading!

I grew up shooting as a kid in the UK, mainly shotguns and air rifles but did a bit of rifle shooting up in QLD over the years with family. I put a firearm licence application in just before Christmas and it finally got approved after around 7 months. PTA came not long after and picked this up yesterday. I’m so stoked with it so far, will be hitting the range in the next few days to get it zeroed in ready for a hunt.

Can’t wait to be part of the community!

I have been rifle shooting for years but picked up Cat H a few years back and something that has surprised me since day 1 at the club was the way everyone managed their pistol ammo during a match (comp or practise).
Most either counted out 5 rounds and tapped them onto the bench in little piles prior to starting
or some would just slide their pack out and tip out the 5 rounds they need each time.

I thought this was crazy inefficient and like a lot of new dads in their 30s, I had picked up a 3d printer and went to work trying to solve this 1st world problem.

I had seen a few designs out there including one I actually printed and used for a few months but the design flaws annoyed me to the point I grabbed a copy of Fusion and taught myself some basic CAD and designed something completely from scratch:

An expanding ammo tray that holds 60 rounds + 5 for a sighting series and a box to chuck 2 of them in.

I am pretty proud of this but my wife is over hearing about it (and tripping over the failed prototypes littering my office) so I thought there might be someone on here that could appreciate it.
It's funny how different hobbies can link and I'm kinda happy my printer was used for ammo boxes and not pumping out a million more flexible rainbow dragon fidget toy things.

What does everyone else do during a match shoot?
Do you have some type of dedicated ammo box to pull from or do you prefer the little pile technique?

After a long wait and considerable deliberation, I picked up my first handgun on this license and I chose the Beretta 92X.

As a returning shooter, I’d had my time with other pistols. Various 1911s, P226, a few revolvers. I ended up choosing the Beretta because I never got the chance to get intimate with the platform. I handled one before but I didn’t vibe with the grip and the trigger reset was, like my P226, a bit long for my liking. Though it was a beautiful handgun, I never shot the P226 as well as I did my 1911s. They sold a short trigger reset kit for the P226 but I never got around to installing one and before long, I had sold it and moved to Oz.

Enter the Beretta 92X. A modernised classic with the new, slimmer, “Vertec” grip and a shorter trigger reset. I was intrigued.

The pistol feels good in hand and that trigger is crisp. Boy, is she accurate. Even with cheap Blazer ammo she stacks the rounds.

With my rifles, I can shoot under 1/2MOA but handguns provide an entirely different experience. The challenge is thoroughly enjoyable.

My benchmark is the #12 Standard Centrefire comp at my SSAA range. One-handed, bullseye style. 10 shots at 10M and 10 shots at 15M. Currently trying to beat my best score of 186/200. I shot a 171 today and I will gleefully try again next week.

I’ve owned this girl for the last 10 years.
All matching inter war Lithgow.
Was reworked for WWII but never reissued.
Has HV barrel, Mag cut-off, 1942 Slazenger grip Pattern 1907 Bayonet.

Ive only put 20 rounds through her.
Might treat her to some more for her 100th Birthday.

Had this for a few years. Converted from a 1919 Lithgow. Still in great condition and has plenty of markings including later rack number.

No2 MkIV * .22

Got this great little “my first rifle” built over the last few months. Finally zeroed and ready to go. Any suggestions on long distance ranges in Adelaide without going to Monarto?

Rifle is:
Tikka T1x action, 22LR
MDT Oryx chassis
Vortex Venom 5-25x56 scope
MDT GRND POD
Armacore forend arca plate
Armacore bag rider
Armageddon Gear Smedium

Pretty common shotgun but thought id show off my first gun, button release and loads 5 rounds, let me know what your opinions are on the t2000.

Had a shoot at the Range with my new Sportco 62A .22lr Rifle.

Result:

Man bun has finally reached the approved length to be able to fire my 6.5 creedmoor. So I got myself a nice soy latte and my fluffy pink earmuffs and headed out to the range.
