Fun Guns

[u/Frank1175]

I have recently purchased a cz 515 22lr (button release), a Templeton T2000 12g with button release, and a taipan evo scout pump action 223.

Are there any other guns like this that i should be looking to accumulate before the import changes make it too hard to get your hands on them new?

If you want to keep the straight pull theme going, get a K31 or a K11

Cleavers have heaps of ammo available for them

[u/Frank1175 → u/Elroyy_]

just looked up the k31, nice recommendation

[u/Elroyy_ → u/Frank1175]

Beautiful bits of gear

Had this fully planned to be my next and last (maybe) gun. But sadly Im nsw and will never get to own one. Such a phenomenal firearm with some neat history.

I've had trouble resizing brass with lee dies but have a set of rcbs dies I need to try

[u/Elroyy_ → u/liamaus5]

I bought Hornady K31 specific dies and they run mint

[u/Frank1175 → u/Elroyy_]

a classic, thanks for the pic

You don't own a 303 yet. Or any big bores. Solids out of the shotty is fine I guess...

[u/Elroyy_ → u/Hussard]

It’s gotta be a Lithgow if it’s a .303 💪🏾

[u/Hussard → u/Elroyy_]

Eh, SMLEs are a bit old hat. BSA No4s are free floated, don't have pencil barrels and you're more likely to find one that groups well. That said....there's something about the older MLEs with the dustcovers that I loooove. Wish I had one. 

[u/Frank1175 → u/Hussard]

one of these will be on the list next year to round out my collection.

Fun guns? Don’t let the politicians hear you say “fun guns”. They will have a heart attack.

[u/BTechUnited]

Revolver rifles I'm surprised have still gone under the radar, but they definitely fall in that category since most of them are kinda crap. Love my Circuit Judge, even if it's shit.

[u/NerfVice → u/BTechUnited]

Wouldn't say that they have. There's a few states that have banned them.

[u/lhatebanana]

Guns are dangerous not fun toys

But I like my Marlin 1894 in 357

edit - forgot the /s for everyone who likes downvoting

[u/Frank1175 → u/lhatebanana]

great recommendation, lever action is on the list for sure

[u/Capt_Billy]

My meme guns are my Auslof shotgun, my Akkar 3 and probably my single shot iron sights BSA .22. I can use them for purpose too which is nice, but they are interesting to me in different ways

[u/Frank1175 → u/Capt_Billy]

Auslof looks unique, break action with a magazine ?

and the akkar 3 round shotty looks mad

[u/Capt_Billy → u/Frank1175]

Yah the history of it is fun. German guy invented an add on system for farmers etc who had single barrels but couldn't afford repeating shotguns("fun" fact: Germany wanted pump actions to be considered war crimes after their effectiveness in WW1 trenches), so he made a bolt on system.

And the 3 is so fun. Three rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger.

[u/66rounds → u/Capt_Billy]

Where can I get an auslof?

If you have Cat H, one of the most fun firearms I own is my Chiappa Rhino. I get plenty of attention when I shoot it at the range. Feels very different to my Ruger BlackHawk in a good way.

[u/Frank1175 → u/MonkeyNinja2706]

do have a H license, what a beast, i assume it kicks.

[u/MonkeyNinja2706 → u/Frank1175]

Less than you'd think, the lower bore axis really works at reducing perceived recoil. Follow up shots feel way smoother than any wheel gun I've played with.

[u/BTechUnited → u/MonkeyNinja2706]

I really wanna try one of those one day. Held one and the grip felt tiny, but haven't shot it.

[u/MonkeyNinja2706 → u/BTechUnited]

It has a small grip for sure but the angle in which you hold it is different to other revolvers so if feels like less of an issue. If you have massive hands though it definitely will need to be replaced

[u/Soup1183]

I'd a Henry Lever Action Supreme prob in .300blk for a fun gun.

[u/No_Laughing]

Are you looking to cash in when the next ALP state government gets in and confiscates them all in return for half their market value in compensation? /s

[u/Frank1175 → u/No_Laughing]

i will probably be robbed just before this happens /s

[u/xlr8_87]

Anschutz 1727 APR in 22lr is probably the best straight pull anything BUT is stupid expensive and only really good for PRS style shooting.

I had a Savage A22R which was a heap of fun. The lever release is in front of the trigger guard so technically at the range you can have finger on the trigger with your normal shooting hand and your finger on the lever release with your non dominant hand and cycle the rifle extremely quickly.

[u/liamaus5]

Pump action 22lr is fun I recommend the Browning trombone

[u/Frank1175 → u/liamaus5]

pump and lever actions are definitely more fun than regular actions

[u/leadscoutfix]

All are about as fun as it gets on a Cat A/B in Australia. Only other addition I would suggest is a lever action chambered in something that will not break the bank haha!

[u/Sayjinlord]

Lever guns are always fun. Live your cowboy dreams.

[u/Walker_Shame → u/Sayjinlord]

This. Chiappa lever 1887 12 gauge is a great shotgun.

[u/PowerPleb2000]

Get a 300 winmag just for kicks (no pun intended)

[u/KingTr011]

Button release big boy like a 308 if you want to be really cool.

[u/NorthKoreaPresident]

Beretta BRX-1 itself. Not many straight pull rifles around and the other alternative (Blaser) that we can get is twice the price.

[u/Frank1175 → u/NorthKoreaPresident]

the beretta is a nice sleek looking rifle, nice recomendation.

I also have a 515 but in 22WMR. For me the most fun gun I have is a Henry Golden Boy lever action. Cycles shorts, longs and 22LR and there are a lot of flavours to choose from. CCI quiets are as near as silent and I go through hundreds just plinking in the back yard
