Pics of this weeks shoot. .308 and 6XC plus a few toys.
Tubb 2000 .308 and 6XC Ideal for F-Class. Very accurate and shot well in wild conditions with the 115grain pills out of the 6XC. This rifle is now available direct from BMT in Melbourne now that they are the McMillan distributor.
Some others that were on display, they might not be suitable for F-Class, can you name them? These were also very accurate and a blast to shoot. Over $100K worth of rifles in this one photo and another $100K worth out the back.
All strictly legal and had law enforcement involvement for those concerned about the semi auto .50BMG

Worrying about a bad image with whom? I don't believe our left wing enemies can tell the difference between these rifles and what we already have, it's all bad to them. There are several Tubb 2000 rifles on the firing line already, so not sure why anyone would even comment about their appearance or image.

Hi fclass556, just because average joe citizen might have a certain opinion of us seems hardly any reason to confirm their misplaced view.

Nor is it a reason to cringe like a bunch of nancy girls worried about what some f*ckwit might be saying behind our backs - time to grow some vertebrae.

Mr ( or Mrs ) average citizen has a perception base purely upon what they see, are told, and what they hear. If the average citizens think bad things about us then it's our own fault for allowing it to happen, and no, it's not too late to correct those misconceptions. I have yet to see any program instigated by our organizations that corrects that perception that firearms such as those pictured are anything but something sinister.
Danny is correct in what he says.
You only have to think about the recent episode with the two swimmers to know what the average joe's perception is. One reporter even referred to the crossed shotguns as similar to those used by Martin Bryant at Port Arthur. That episode highlights exactly what perception can do -- a bit of fun blown out of all proportion with a penalty being applied.
The anti gunners had a field day.
Regarding the photographs -- most of those firearms pictured are NOT what we use and hopefully never will be, but any uninformed person looking at this site ( and I have no doubt there are some ) would naturally think that they are normal for our disciplines.
I for one object to the photograph as it is far removed from the equipment we use and in no way promotes F Class which is what this site is about.

I see 2 things that are different - a Barrett (explained by the writer) and some muzzle breaks. The rest look like bolt action rifles with scopes and bipods. What am I missing? The long(er) actions, the heavier barrels? I just don't get the problem here.

Barry,
I respect your view on the subject and if you would like I can remove the second photo. I will not remove the first photo as the rifle is a world class competition rifle that is suitable for F-Class and is being used for F-Class.
As I said in the OP, some of the rifles might not be suitable for F-Class and that was said as a bit of an understatement on purpose.
I just thought the boys would like something a bit different to look at. Some of these rifles are quite rare in Australia. They are all legal and a few of them are actually owned by the government.
