    Gidday.

    Hi all, I've always loved the bush. Grew up possum trapping after school, loved kicking round on dirt bikes with the mates, 50+ now got 4 kids, they've all had a taste of hunting and trapping too but it's not really something they've picked up and run with. Ah well there'll be grandkids right!
    So I've been a fan of the forum since I got my gun license in 2014 and started getting into this deer stalking lark. Amazing wealth of info here for newbies, I thank you all so much it was a great place to start. Now I'm registered and can take part and maybe give a little back where I can.
    Cut my teeth on a 243 and that puppy will always hold a special place in the cabinet, goto bush gun really.
    Then about a year ago I got a 308 with dailey uppey scope and what not for the longer range stuff. So I'm finding myself back on the forum heaps with new focus on different threads.

    Cheers

    Welcome to the forum Steelo.
    Nothing wrong with a 243. Of course a 308 will offer a few more options for the longer range stuff if you don't reload.

    Welcome aboard
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
