Beginner Basics #7 Choosing the Correct Centrefire Rifle (Brands / Calibres / Scopes)
Beginner Basics #7 Choosing the Correct Centrefire Rifle (Brands / Calibres / Scopes)
This video is designed to get you thinking about your actual use of a centrefire rifle and what brand, calibre and scope you should consider. It is by no means an extensive list but I hope it helps you decide on the right setup for you.
Why get a 243 when you get a 25-06? The best all-round centrefire for Australia. If you think the ammo is too expensive, you are in the wrong sport.
I have a Kahles made in Austria and a Bushnell made in “North Korea”, price differ in 6 times and they do differ in 6 times on quality of every aspect.
Just now subscribe today after watching three of your videos
Lots of jargon for a "beginner" video
Cheers Mate!
You said you can’t see the point of 30-06 over 308?
Well around here, 30-06 ammo is well cheaper than 308.
.243 centerfire cartridges cost twice what similar quality .223 ammo costs…………
This was extremely helpful, i was getting so confused with all these calibers. Thanks
Lever action marlin 30.30 is my first centrefire, was a 30yr old barely fired heirloom handed (transfed) to me. Love it. But definatly looking for a .223 to keep to rounds down in marlin
I have a whetherby 7mm rem mag and I can’t rate it enough.. I just found that it fitted my application so much better.. target and bigger game
I can’t choose the correct one, the correct one was banned by corrupt politicians
You’re spot on, have a cz 527 .223 1/9 twist, if you ever get a chance would love to see you review one.
I’ve heard that Howa is incredible for the money.
Ain’t in the USA so pls just state scope stats etc in metres and cm.ok.🤔
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! You hit good key points for beginners.
Hi Ozzie, i really like your vids mate. They’re so informative and clear in the description, keep ’em coming.
All the best from the UK.
Excellent
um aussie fillo and both produce quality scopes
For shooting roos and feral cats?

My take…
Punching holes in paper, I go on the cheap.
Potentially putting game on the table, I do not cheap out.
When shooting or hunting price is relative, in my book.
Hi mate
As a beginner and first time rifle buyer I found this video really informative.
I settled on a Tikka 223 stainless left hand.
I do wish that in this beginners video you had stated what "small game" and "larger game" is.
I got my 223 for wild dogs, however I dont consider a dog a small animal.
The guy at my local shop said a 223 will take dogs, goats, some pigs and small to medium deer, all out to about 150 yards.
Would be interested in your thoughts on this advise, as a beginner, all I have to go on is the advise of others.
Many thanks
Marlin
Love the reviews!
Can you have a look at the Webley and Scott xocet carbon barrel 22mag please?
Thanks mate for a great review video.
What brand was the Mercedes Benz version, as I didn’t quite catch it?
Cheers
Why is everyone promoting the 6.5 creedmoor. The 6.5X5 is still better, just not promoted by america because it’s a metric cartridge and not designed in the usa. Only 3 rifles you need CZ452 in 22lr, 527 in .223 and Sako 85 in 6.5X55. Dont even need the middle one, two rifles are fine. you can shoot 100gr from 6.5 and undercharge it giving you 20+ rounds per case, or go 140gr and run it on the edge for range and big game. People Don’t realise you can have a larger cartridge rifle and it becomes cheaper to shoot than a small cartridge rifle if you run it at lower pressures. Re-loading is easy and saves you money.
Hi ozzie what do you think about the ruger American 223 package.

im Pilipino and i take offence
I like your videos, but lose the "guys" every second sentence, it will sound much more professional
Can you own a file in Australia if you have a crim record from 10yrs ago.
Tbh I love 7mm08 out of my Tikka T3. With 140gr projectiles, it’s like a .308 but better as in drops less and recoil is just like a .223.
Remington ?
Great video, but I think one important factor was glossed over here.
If you’re buying a higher end rifle, you’re not simply paying for a more aestheticly pleasing finish and a smoother bolt. What you’re really paying for is lower variability in accuracy between rifles of the same make/brand. Sure, you may get lucky with a cheaper rifle and have it be an absolute gem, but there’s an even greater chance that it will be a dog that won’t print a decent group under any conditions, with any ammo.By paying a little, or a lot, more for the rifle, you’re shortening the odds of you landing a shooter.
If you want to hunt basically anything in Australia ( except buffs maybe ), get a 12 gauge, .22, .223 and .30-06 or something similar. All in tikka lol except a browning shotgun
First rifle for me Howa 1500 in mdt oryx chassis in .308 with the delta titanium hd 4-25, had the action barrel and bolt cerakoted in matt black and a spring kit put in the trigger, wanted some that could cover most things I wanted to do it didn’t break the bank and it’s tacticool af!
Disappointed Ozzi from Marketing
Gday Ozzie, Great video!
Just wondering are you going to be doing some video’s on the higher grade savages? 10/110, 11’s and 12’s? Would love to see what you think of these guns!
Hey bud .. what are your thoughts on the la102 6.5 creedmoor
For hunting/ target shooting
I’m yet to become a ‘beginner’. I have had the rare shoot, but never an owner. Yet. ☺
Very good my choice for pigs would be a helix straight pull in 30 06 and make my Owen shells and have an aim point scope
Bolt actions for soviet 7.62×39. Cheap enough for kangaroos and big enough deer.
I am thinking between
223 and 22-250 ,any feedback will be appreciated! Thanks mate 👍
Honest opininions: Big respect. Thank you.
Hi mate, any recommendations on the Remington 700 series? Not much budget but love this gun from the movie. Looking for a 308. Thanks a lot.
My pig gun is 6.5creedy
Great honest review👍
Howa are the best budget offering.
It is too bad Nikon is getting out of the rifle scope business. I asked Nikon Rep if they were selling that portion of their business or just discontinuing it. I never received a clear answer but, it sounded like they were just discontinuing the rifle side of the their business which is kind of strange because it is a pretty successful line up of scopes — IMV!
GREAT REVIEW THANKS
