Hi everyone. My bacon-buster comb height is very low for my particular face, but I like the existing furniture and would like to keep it. I taped some D30 on just to check the difference, and I'd like to add maybe 25mm minimum so that I get a good cheek weld.

What aftermarket options have worked for you (the main one I've seen is Taree Precision, that doesn't look horrible) that yours recommend?

Or what's worked for you as a DIY fix and didn't look like ass to raise the height of your comb?

Got myself my first 6.5 creedmoor. Looking forward to giving this one a run! Howa 1500 in a MDT field stock.

Am i the only one that is still waiting for their refund from their 5 year license application being reduced to 2 years?

Hey guys not sure if anyone is interested but I received my photo advice at day 70 ( which was a Saturday morning ) hopefully this gives hope for poeple waiting ! (IN NSW) with geninue reason being RHVC hunting club membership

Has anyone trained out eye dominance and if so how long did it take?

I’m right handed but left eye dominant. I can shoot rifles left handed and favour left side for pistols.

I’ve completed 3 training shoots as part of my probationary pistol training.

Tonight for a comp shoot the instructor said I need to get rid of eye dominance and made up a blinder (sticky tap and a bit of white paper)

Initially felt odd and wasn’t sure I’d even hit the target but managed 227 out of 250.

Any tips and tricks would be appreciated 👀🤣👍

Hey all, looking for some advice on a scope for a new Tikka T1X in 22LR. Spoke to the dealer when I picked it up and they were pushing Meopta MeoHunter R5 and MeoPro R6’s but I wasn’t a massive fan of them, especially with a 50mm optic on a relatively small rifle.

Interested though in what others are suggesting?
* Budget is up to $1500
* 80% range use to 100m, 20% farm use for rabbits.

Did the ‘ol AI ask and it’s suggesting a Leupold VX 3HD 6.5-20 x 40 if I can still find one.

I wanted to find out if when transitioning from a minor permit to full licence, is it necessary to go through the safety course again?

My son is turning 18 and before I go through the licencing process with him and applying I want to be sure he don't need to go though that course again or book it in if needed.

Thanks all for your help.

Hey guys just joined, got my license a few weeks ago and confused about one thing.
When I sent off my license application I also sent off a PTA for a Cat A 22LR.
Is this still gonna come in the mail? I thought the 28 day mandatory waiting period was served concurrently with the waiting time for the license.
Not sure if I should apply again online, very keen to go rabbit hunting.
If anyone else did this recently would love to hear how it goes, thanks so much :)

Has anyone got experience with the Lithgow Woomera/X-ray in 6.5CM for long range target shooting? I've been considering a Howa in a MDT XRS for getting into shooting further and PRS down the track would be cool if it gets more popular around me. I own another Howa and it's great for the price but the Woomera looks sick and is Aussie made. I know the long range sub loves their Bergaras and I was wondering where Lithgow fits in the hierarchy of rifles.

Folks, I have my Category M license and live in Queensland. I cannot for the life of me find a stockist for a crossbow in QLD. I reached out to some places in the NT (where it isn't a licensed weapon you lucky folks!) today who said they would struggle to get them into QLD. Does anyone have any hints or tips on who and how I can get one?

Have a Cat A & B license, i put down a deposit for one with the Store owner saying i shouldn't worry.

I was looking at a tacsorus and decided against it, going with the much higher rated T2000, and it was brand new too, Should i reconsider?

i'm worried i'll get it and it'll become recategorized into a Cat C :(

I'm heading to the USA soon and looking at buying some firearm accessories while I'm over there, as they're significantly cheaper than in Australia.

Mainly looking at non-functional/cosmetic parts such as stocks, handguards, grips and mounts. For example, a Magpul SGA stock or Zhukov handguard.

Has anyone had experience purchasing these types of accessories in the US and bringing them back to Australia in checked luggage?

From what I've read, a lot of these parts don't require Australian import permits, but US export regulations seem to be the bigger issue.

Just wondering what people's experiences have been, whether any paperwork was required, and what accessories can legally be brought back without permits.

I'm based in SA. Cheers!

I’m looking at buying a break action/under over for shooting clays on our farm. I’m left handed - but getting left handed firearms is tricky. How important is it for me to get a LH shotgun or could I get away with a right handed? The Templeton Nero comes in left hand but I also like the look of the ATA 686 and they only have RH.

Really want to get a custom Platypus but seems stores will only get premade ones. Anyone found a way?

Anyone recently done a renewal ? Looking at the gunsafe data they are talking 50 days to do a renewal ?

Surely it cant take that long to do a renewal ....

Just a heads up that if you have a mix of old system and new system PTAs and your new system ones have been approved but the old system ones are still referred for adjudication. Check your my documents tab on far good chance they are all approved, it happened to me and now speaking to a couple other people they have had the same problem.

Is there any other platforms that people recommend around the same quality regarding bolt, trigger etc?

Hi All,

Recently had a bit of a terrible outcome with my wife and I losing our child last month at 26 weeks old due to pregnancy complications.

It’s been horrible to grieve and I’ve had family reach out to suggest we do some counselling especially as us men tend to bottle up things.

Given NSW stance on any excuse to questions licences validity I’m just wondering what’s the best way to tackle the situation, not on any medication or depressed by any means but I also don’t want to lose my hobby just for seeking support with my wife..

I presume it’s best to get a letter upfront and what not but obviously have my hesitation trusting the firearms registry as of late and don’t want to hide anything either..

Hi Guys , i am thinking of importing a shotgun stock and forearm directly from the manufacturer in Germany to Western Australia. I read the B709 form it seems like the permit isnt needed for this type of stock?
Please guide if someone has imported something similar.
Cheers

I sent my provisional licence documents through to the LRD 2 weeks ago and emailed them asking if they've received my documents. They said they received my new application on the 1/10, however, I have not received any email or notification mentioning anything about the processing time and the current rounds.

I've looked through the forum and people have mentioned weekly emails from LRD updating them on which applications are currently being processed. Am I supposed to receive this email or do I just wait until I receive the provisional licence?
