Lithgow "LA102" Crossover .308 Winchester (308WIN) Rifle (shooting at 1067 yards!)

[@forty5degrees]

Ozzie, I forgot to say this years ago. It was after watching this video i ended up buying LA102 in 308. Thanks ozzie, you're a legend.

[@BrettsAustralia]

Well cobba's I'm impressed and remember Ozzie was using a 9X Scope at 1067 yards,,incredible, what a great 2 part weapons system Ozzie and a Lithgow 308 at 1067 yards...fair dinkum any Aussie should be proud..Cheers.

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks mate, I appreciate that

[@Philippians4.13..]

Ive watched this review 3 times I was sold on it the first time. Great review . Thanks bud

[@robertpenn5689]

You've made me subscribe to my first ever KZbin channel after years of KZbin mate, thanks so much for what you do, your a legend with honest and knowledgable reviews!

[@grantsimpson628]

If I buy another rifle, it will definitely be the Aussie made Lithgow. Great review. And long range demonstration.

[@ogpu1]

Great review. Saw these rifles at the Sydney shot show recently and was really impressed with the trigger and the bolt action . Have a t3 for the last couple of years, but if I was looking for a new rifle, I would probably get a Lithgow. Thanks

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks mate, I appreciate you watching

[@alunbowden9232]

Thanks for a great review Ozzie, love your honest up front, no nonsense breakdown on products.

[@ppalla]

Thanks yet again, Ozzie. Love the reviews & the long range shooting with a 3-9 optic too!!!

[@ozziereviews]

haha yes, I knew that by using that it'd get some attention but I always talk about how I don't like massive optics on my rifles. People argue that you need large magnification to shoot long distance, which I don't always agree with... apart from getting an optic with enough elevation, why has the USMC used fixed 10x power optics on their 308 rifles for many years then? It proves it in this review, that you can do it with a lower powered optic, sure the 25x power optics are great, but what if you want a rifle for hunting as well? You're not going to lug around a rifle or be able to shoot a rifle off-hand with a ridiculously big optic on top... So a 3-9x40 is ample enough to have on a hunting rifle and shoot out to 600+ yards with enough elevation, which means you don't need to pay 1000s on a 25x power scope. Just my personal view on it...

[@ShoulderRollJason]

Ozzie is such a legend and a nice bloke also

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks mate :)

[@jasoar1563]

OZZIE for Prime Minister!

[@ozziereviews]

I wouldn't go that far ;)

[@regsparkes6507]

That's a sin to wish that on a guy Jaso Ar15, he'd never get to go shooting and do these reviews. Now don't you think THAT would be a real 'bummer' ? Hahaha.

[@ozziereviews]

Hmmm reviews in my lunch break at parliament house hmmmm could be fun? ;)

[@aaronew26]

love your work Ozzie. pumped to see this review

[@ozziereviews]

Man I am pumped to bring it to you guys!!! :)

[@MRxr400]

Thanks Ozzie. Super impressed with this rifle. I will definitely go one of these in 308 when i'm ready. Good to see outback ammo works well. The 223 outback ammo is half price of hornady v-max and just as good in my rifle.

[@ozziereviews]

It just makes sense to start producing ammo here cos that way it keeps the costs down as you say... and when it shoots just as good as ammo twice the price, it's a massive bonus!

[@BrettsAustralia]

Absolutely outstanding as expected.

[@Haulinbassntrawlinass]

Cheeky little grin on the first 1000 yard hit.

[@ozziereviews]

A few people have said that now, I'll have to take another look ;)

[@thesheepman220]

I don't think it's cheeky,it's more like , I told you so guys

[@ozziereviews]

Yeah it does look like that... I think it was more of my suspicions about the rifle being accurate (going off my LA101 22 and 22mag) being true and getting on target at that range...

[@travisnewlove8195]

Take my money! been waiting on this for ages and you've delivered! RIPPER!

[@ozziereviews]

You won't be sorry, these rifles shoot, simple as that!

[@AusTactical]

love the consistancy/style of the reviews, been waiting for this one especially :)

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks mate, I try to cover off on the desktop technical stuff which a lot of people like but then cover off on the practical use of it too which covers pretty much everything people want to know (groups, ammo etc).

[@Dazza-u4c]

Awesome video mate. I am glad its a great shooter, it's good to see an Australian company doing well.

[@ozziereviews]

Yep I agree, thanks for watching Daz

[@sarahandjames1]

Once they expand the calibers I'll happily have a safe full of these awesome pieces of Australian engineering. I'm thinking 223, 6.5x55 or 260 and a 300 winmag. You have got to love an Australian product. Thanks for the review Ozzie, outstanding, as always.

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks mate, I'm glad you enjoyed watching it and can understand your stance on Australian-made as I feel exactly the same...

[@binalongberrico4808]

Great review. Lithgow 308 all the way.

[@ozziereviews]

Absolutely!

[@Bandito071]

Picked up my .308 signature edition a few weeks ago and i love it !

[@Tydirium]

Yesss really thinking of getting one, must support Lithgow :D

[@ozziereviews]

I agree, it gives me great pride to own quality Australian-made firearms and knowing that you are supporting 130 odd local job in Lithgow, right hear in Australia!

[@Tydirium]

***** Exactly :D

[@AdelAdel-ug1ul]

I wish they have 17 wsm

[@greatdividehunting7887]

Thanks Ozzie .. Another cracking review .. Great to see quality local produce

[@ozziereviews]

Absolutely, makes me proud!

[@JohnLightbody]

Great review Ozzie, been hanging out for this one. You just helped me finish my Christmas wish list. So glad to see Lithgow Arms putting out such quality products.

[@ozziereviews]

Me too mate

[@damiensmith823]

Great review - I just got one of these also. Haven't gotten to stretch it out yet - but at the indoor range its bullets in the same hole! Update: Did an ammo test (similar to what you've done here but at 50m indoor range) and found Hornady the most accurate by far. I was getting 3 bullets in the same hole (had to look closely to be sure I hadn't missed the target all together). Have found that the barrel hates heat tho, quickly goes from

[@jspilly82]

you finally got your hands on one Ozzie! nice. there will be lots of people happy to see this review including me.

[@ozziereviews]

I'm just happy I got it done and online as it's be highly requested...

[@lachlancartledge4659]

thanks ozzie this review and the one you did of the lithgow LA101 helped me alot in making my decision to get a lithgow.

[@ozziereviews]

Glad you enjoyed it Lachlan, cheers

[@mathewwhite9139]

i think you hit the nail on the head with you last comment, lithgow should look at supplying a modular chassis system for the 102 GC precision out of the ACT do a nice job . maybe a heavy barrel version and a 20 moa pic rail would be nice long range varminting is a growing sport with lots of $$$$ in it. thanks for the vids mate.

[@ozziereviews]

Sure Mathew, I agree, why not expand so that people get right into tricking out their Lithgow? It creates a club of enthusiast owners and generates so much interest in the market - it's just plain cool at the end of the day :)

[@54footscray]

Love the videos, mate. Keep it up!!

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks mate

[@EnkeiTenjin]

Ozzie your music is pretty filthy in these intros haha. Love the channel mate, as a fellow aussie, thanks for your time and effort.

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks mate, I appreciate that, a lot of effort goes into these for everyone to enjoy, so I do appreciate the support!

[@Bluewater6060]

They look like a great rifle those birds flying around your target are lucky birds Non got hit great video 👍

[@zacriley1]

Man this guy can shoot

[@lukeheffo4575]

awesome review mate keep them coming. love the 308 stuff you do!!

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks Luke, I appreciate that mate!

[@eminkucuk1902]

Thanks Ozzie. Gives me something to think about. Good to see the videos more regularly too. Keep it up mate

[@ozziereviews]

It's killing me lol but I have a lot of gear to get through...

[@jellybryce7742]

We have some of that Outback ammo in the USA. Didn't know much about it. Good to know its decent stuff.

[@ozziereviews]

I've had mixed results to be honest but it shoots very well in the Lithgow (which makes sense since it's the same company basically)

[@MrPseudoplastic]

Thanks for the review. Been holding off buying another 308 while waiting for your review. Nice job. Nice rifle. Time to get one.

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks Callum, I can't see you being disappointed with one...

[@matthewmoses4222]

Aussie made rifle and ammo capable of taking any game in Australia (with a well placed shot). Can't ask for more surely?

[@ozziereviews]

I am truly stoked to have an Australian-made product perform so well, we as Aussie shooters deserve these!!!

[@purevenom9381]

Awesome review as always Ozzie, definitely getting this one in 308 and hopefully they get aluminum chassis for lithgow guns will be super cool :)

[@ozziereviews]

Yeah how cool would that be? I'd love to see it happen!

[@2450logan]

Boom and the woomera is born...

[@jasoar1563]

love the ricochet sounds :) LOOK OUT!!!

[@daveb6345]

Darn nice shootin Tex :) That thing is unreal. Great review as always. The best part is it's Australian MADE!

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks mate, it's good equipment, so shooting is made that bit easier :)

[@raymond6632]

Just bought one, and I'm glad I did, great review 👍🏼

[@slow_diver]

You seemed to be sold on the rifle before you even shot it (on film), but the results speak for themselves. Impressive hold over shooting and the grin said it all.

[@ozziereviews]

Only because I had high hopes for it's performance based on the 22 and 22 magnum Lithgows that I own...

[@gunterlangesschwein.kieran1784]

My lady has one with a pistol grip and tactical cage and stock, muzzle brake and ten shot mag, vortex 4-16 X 44 scope . Highly recommend.

[@jojobarwick]

You mentioned tactical. Have heard about the release of the la105 long range rifle. Can't wait for that review

[@JimmyGlat]

Great Review of the .308!! I'm looking to purchase my first rifle shortly. Primarily target shooting with a small amount of hunting on the side and very keen to buy something Australian Made! I am looking forward to your review on the LA102 in .223.

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks mate, yep they all made here which is fantastic!

[@10ksubswithoutanyvidsplznt48]

first time viewer!! in 7 months i get my licence. Will definitely be my first buy!! you have stunned me.

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks Faze, it will be a rifle that you will have for many many years...

[@10ksubswithoutanyvidsplznt48]

+ozziereviews will be. its something i can learn with and i would never buy a gun with no recoil. also to keep our farm and land safe from foxes & rabbits. do you have a Facebook page??

[@ozziereviews]

Sure, it's pretty popular facebook.com/ozziereviews

[@astridvallati4762]

Just Remember all you Aussies, whilst LA is based in Lithgow NSW, it is a fully Foreign-Owned Subsidiary of Thales, a French Company!! DocAV Brisbane

[@reecebro4146]

Great review. It's also awesome that tikka owners can use the polymer mags with the Lithgow!

[@ozziereviews]

Yes, I think it was a good choice for compatibility reasons...

[@TelltheElder]

Great review mate. Might have to seriously look at one of these gems.

[@ozziereviews]

Yep, I can't see you going wrong with one... I'm amazed at the quality for the price!

[@karlnordstrom4295]

Defiantly looking forward to getting one of these, I would've chosen the walnut though😂

[@camm4321]

Thanks for that Ozzie

[@elliottg4984]

The "Australian Made" badging seems a little less gawdy on the black version. Also I love the 3 position safety on a 3 lug bolt, 2 uncommon yet desirable features on a rifle. And THOSE GROUPS!!!

[@elliottg4984]

+1 I agree, would love to see a tactical version. Great shooting with a 9x scope too, puts me to shame.

[@ozziereviews]

lol just good kit mate, makes me look like a good shot ;)

[@richardwebster9084]

Just got the call to go pick up one of these beauties, same configuration as yours except the scope :) . Can't wait.

[@ozziereviews]

Exciting times mate, let me know what you think of it...

[@VermiponicsOnline]

Good on ya Ozzie, have one of these now. Stoked!

[@lawnfarmr399]

Looks like an awesome rifle, especially in a walnut stock. I wish they produced a magnum version though; a 338 WM with this sort of accuracy and build quality would be perfect for some of the big critters up north

[@mickmac8300]

Got mine for Christmas has nikkon 4-12x40 scope very very happy even stock gives good cheek support on aiming nice design. Looks great with bipod and 10 round mag. Looking for M14 muzzle break. They do not give the extra spacer anymore. Just the two already in the gun.

[@sarge5683]

Thanks for your thoughts on the Trijicon and types of reticle, also looking at a Swarvoski Z3 4-12 x 50 with the ballistic turret, HMM to many choices. PTA approved. Good feeling to be able to support Australian Jobs. Cheers

[@ozziereviews]

Sure no problem

[@danstevens2204]

Great review, great shooting 👍

[@bskellern90]

Haha looking pretty chuffed when you got the hit. They have the black on black version in 308 at QSS in Ipswich. definitely the way to go I reckon aswell.

[@ozziereviews]

You should of seen my face when I bought it home for the first time LOL

[@Danger3512]

Did enjoy your review, and have actually bought a black on black .308, just waiting on the LRD to issue the Permit to Acquire, buying Aussie all the way, !!👍👍👍👍

[@Danger3512]

Well my rifle permit to acquire came and I have it now, unfortunately the stage 3 then stage 4 restrictions shut the rifle ranges, I know you did this review 3 years ago, but it’s like you did it yesterday, one thing I would’ve like to have seen was a thumb hole stock and adjustable cheek pad similar to the SAKO S20, but plenty happy with my rifle so far. Mounted an Aussie ZeroTech Thrive HD 6-24 x 50 PHR II scope Reloading in lock down so loading up some Sierra Game kings 165gr for a ladder test, to what suits, and maybe some rounds with Trail Boss for grins!! Thanks for the review and if I can’t get a load that suits, I will get me some Aussie Outback

[@xflow8873]

Yet another great video!

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks mate

[@lindmill85]

Thank you Ozzie

[@ozziereviews]

Sure no problem...

[@rustykilt]

I pick up my 308 in two weeks... gotta support Aussie rifle..

[@williammarshall1629]

Excellent shooting!!

[@ianeckermann3989]

Loving the no BS reviews by Ozzie reviews.. Would love a Lithgow vs Tikka review Also, any chance of getting a review on the LA101 .17hmr?

[@MrSmith336]

Thanks Ozzie, great shooting.

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks buddy! The rifle made it easy... it's not my ability ;)

[@BrettsAustralia]

With a 9X scope u clearly have a lot of ability at 1067 yardsmate...lol. Cheers

[@ozziereviews]

Maybe a smidgen then... :)

[@benp8136]

I've got a 308 Sako Grizzly and am considering offloading it for one of these. Great review.

[@ozziereviews]

Wow that's the big call Ben, but I have to be honest, I sat here thinking to myself what I would off-load to have more lithgows... The facts they shoot so well with the Australian-made ammo too, just makes it an economical package overall...

[@benp8136]

+ozziereviews it's more or less a safe queen that I'm reluctant to take out. Would rather something more hardy and the surplus coin could mean another in the safe. The Lithgow HMR gets here today.

[@ozziereviews]

Sounds like a plan then...

[@XV485]

Is that a fire in the background at 16:15? Regardless, I'm very impressed with this rifle. I think it's time to trade in the Rem 700.

[@ozziereviews]

Yep, burning off for the summer...

[@OJJ317]

So torn between one of these and a T3x CTR in 308. Living in the UK so no brand loyalty but the Tikka is a far more common sight here. Really cant decide.

[@brianminghella3312]

How about supporting your commonwealth cousins for a change ? Its a bloody good piece of kit.

[@derekeklund5352]

Great Review Ozzie, If I didn't have my Howa1500 in 308 I would of bought one, I did buy the LA101 & bloody accurate, only drama is it fails to feel the last round & cocks it sideways (5 rnd Mag). I am proud to say I support Australian made gun & company.

[@ozziereviews]

Yeah it is a feeling of pride to own one that's for sure... I've got a CZ 455 10-round mag for my LA101 that I have to try... maybe you should look at getting another mag or send that one back or something, if it's not feeding correctly there is obviously an issue that needs to be fixed...

[@derekeklund5352]

Ok Ozzie contacted Lithgow, it appears to be a follower problem in the Magazine. Have included a link to website with a fix from Lithgow that can be done at Home.... www.lithgowarms.com/frequently-asked-questions/#q32 Ozzie perhaps you could include this in your original video of the LA101? Cheers

[@ozziereviews]

Yeah that's good mate, thanks for sharing.

[@ashman0071]

damn - that's a hard kicking rifle.............but you shoot it very well mate - especially with only 9 power glass !

[@reeceanthony9756]

Inflations hit hard! prices today are closer to 1700 for woodgrain or 1600 synth

[@deezeed2817]

I'm getting the .223 version. I was considering the walnut stock but their synthetic stocks look great.

[@ozziereviews]

If you want timber, I reckon their laminate looks very very nice. I have one on order in 223 :)

[@islandacres4646]

do you plan to review the rifle in 223 ?

[@ozziereviews]

I'm sure it will happen

[@adrenalize666]

Great review. Thank you. I am looking for a 308 and I wont be going passed the Lithgow.

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks mate, and yep you can't go past it for the performance/price!

[@rodnymh]

Awesome work mate thanks

[@bunjiboyz3197]

great video I would love to see this review in the 223 and the tikka t3x lite in 223

[@javiersp01]

good reviews ozzi. keep on going. best regards from argentina

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks, I appreciate you watching :)

[@outbackfamily]

Please do mention in videos if guns are available for left-handed people as well ( like me ). Keep up the good work Ozzie. kam

[@bradteddy3645]

Nice shooting brother.👍👍

[@daviddunbar1753]

Another great review (: Is there a chance you might do a review on the Lithgow 223 in the near future.

[@ozziereviews]

Possibly yes :)

[@joeygsta]

awesome review ozzie! might sell the t3 after seeing this!

[@joeygsta]

ps a 300 wm would be sick

[@ozziereviews]

I agree and they did say that they would look at other calibres after the 223/243/308 were released, so personally I reckon they should do a 22-250, 270 and 300win next as it would cover every single type of hunting you can do in Australia and they are also very popular calibres!

[@joeygsta]

You're all over it mate! Can't wait to see the next review

[@ozziereviews]

I have a few coming, just been busy working on the farm and out shooting, so I'm diving back into more gear this coming weekend :)

[@Benp9248]

Just got the 223. Top quality rifle. When you do a review on the 223 can you add more infomation on the adjustable trigger. Im thinking it is a gunsmiths job. Doesnt say much in the manual. Im using the leupold vx3 3.5x10-40mm scope. Osa ammo. Sierra 55g gamekings. As i said top quality rifle. Every bit as good and in my opinion better than tikka. Aussie made. Thats enough for me.

[@ozziereviews]

Thanks for the feedback, great to see yet another Lithgow owner is happy :)

[@thegypsylovers]

Hey Ozzie your wish just came true! Lithgow LA102 Elite Shooting System! When r u doing a review?

[@ozziereviews]

Hopefully next year...

[@mfactor88]

the tikka lucky13 10 round mags fit i think :) cant wait to get mine

[@ozziereviews]

I'll be able to confirm shortly as I just ordered the new Lucky 13 mag for this, so I will review it and do a function test to show people how it performs :)

[@ogpu1]

Keep up the good work! Cheers

[@ozziereviews]

Will do mate, cheers!

[@kombik7189]

I'm just waiting until they do an FDE or khaki Cerakote and hopefully a stock colour to match.

[@oncall21]

I love the 165 Gameking ammo. Very accurate.

[@ozziereviews]

and devastating on game!

[@superjnutzzz]

keep up the good work mate. excellent as always. whens the sighting in tip video coming haha

[@ozziereviews]

I'll have to work on that soon :)

[@tikkactr4291]

I'm sold

[@tonys843]

Love this rifle but can’t find a trigger kit for it in UK

[@Profit543]

Can’t wait to get one looks awesome and Australian made 🇦🇺

[@hktcss]

Great work Ozzie, is it possible to get a review on the same rifle but 6.5 creedmoor la102 ?

[@boofex1]

I wish they’d make a bullpup bolt action. I’m sure there’s a demand for a lower price, lower calibre bullpup.... or at least the F90 in a straight pull for Australia legal

[@shanebroomhall]

Well Done Ozzie..

[@CSGKnivesAndGear]

It's FINALLY here!

[@ozziereviews]

yup :)

[@CSGKnivesAndGear]

This will make a good middle ground rifle between my T3 lite and Omark 44. A nice mid weight barrel. And Australian made!

[@ozziereviews]

Absolutely!

[@Fallsy_89]

finally just watched the last half of this video and what do ya know Lithgow has the la105 coming out which almost perfectly matches the requirements you wanted Ozzie lol

[@ozziereviews]

Shows they listen :)

[@freedomisgolf5816]

Hi Ozzie I have the Lithgow LR and wow it groups spot on and I was really going to get the 6.5 but have been in two minds until this review as just don’t want to use it at the range and I want it to use it out on field as well if I was going to put a scope on it what do you suggest as I have always liked more light and have been looking at Zeiss Scopes and have a Swarovski 2.5-10x56 on my Sako and a Zeiss 3-12x50 on my Hmr 17 Just want your view please as LITHGOW NOW HAVE MY SUPPORT CHEERS

[@mulishapatrol]

I'd love to buy one but ringing around to all my local shops has netted the same story that no one has even had a whiff of seeing a centrefire from lithgow. I really want to support aussie made but i might have to go with a sauer if i can't get my hands on one.

[@ozziereviews]

Ring a shop that stocks them, Cleavers have the 308 and a handful of other shops that pre-ordered them.

[@mulishapatrol]

+ozziereviews hey oz it's funny I called the legends at cleavers this morning at 9:00am and have sorted a good deal on the 308 super package they have! yewww cheers mate love your work.

[@ozziereviews]

Ok cool, what's the super package entail?

[@ozziereviews]

Cool, sounds good, glad you got sorted anyhow mate

[@mulishapatrol]

Thanks oz i can't wait i must have watched this review 6x now lol cheers mate

[@antoniofolk9879]

I just purchased one can’t wait to shoot it

[@andygaras]

just ordered in 243, hope it does as well as the 308

[@ozziereviews]

I'm sure you'll be impressed, keep me post on the range report when you get it ok?

[@georgepusmaz]

Andy Garag how are you finding it? I've had luck with 87g Berger's/40g 2209.

[@andygaras]

I haven't tried hand loads in it, but I'm yet to find a factory ammo that doesn't shoot well with this gun. I have a tikka I spent about 4k on and this gun out shoots it easily. half moa easily can't ask for more

[@MrBrentles]

Great review. What twist is the barrel? Might make a good hunter class f class rifle.

[@joshpittman6021]

Great gun! Great review! Can I get one of these rifles in the United States? I love the tikka rifles and I'm sure this would be another great buy!

[@ozziereviews]

Yes Lithgow is available in the US
