The L96A1 is an Accuracy International-produced sniper rifle and currently the sniper rifle of choice for the British Army. This was my personal weapon of choice in the British military over a 20 years service period I still have this rifle in my collection which is chambered to fire the 7.62x51mm NATO, plus I have my grandfather's Lee-Enfield Mark 1 chambered in .303 second world war rifle. My side arm of choice is the The SIG Sauer P226 chambered in 9mm get more rounds in the mag. By the way great lead on the targets...awesome shooting mate ⚔️🍻⚔️

Years ago say back in the 80s we only ever got pigs along rivers and swamps and around water or in stubble crops mainly in NSW and QLD but now I see a lot of people shooting them up in the hills and out in open paddocks like you are doing, we’re you would normally find deer. So is it me seeing things differently or are pigs adapting more to this environment and breeding very well because you seem to find a few large mobs of them. By the way I really like your videos and the Thermal is brilliant keep them coming.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks mate. The pigs move around a lot depending on the season. Mountain pigs transit into the crops and vise versa.

What is the tripod and interface brand name you are using? Are they costly ? Do you think it increases your follow up hit rate??

It's an Innorel RT80C. I did a KZbin review and walk through on it all last year if you have a dig.

[@hawks_stuff]

at 2.02 thats epic!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Big mess eh 😬

[@KolyaNickD]

Would you use any other bolt action 308 over this ruger predator in an ideal world? I might buy the exact same for wild boar night shooting, (might be some rain) but keeping the standard stock..

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Anything in 308 will work fine. This is only a budget rifle but in the chassis it is extremely accurate. Anything cerekoted is ideal in wet weather IMO.

[@BradBarfly71]

Have you ever done a clip on your tripod set up? I'm interested in getting one to assist shooting where the bipod is too low

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Yes I have if you dig back. This I is just a cheap Innorel but I'd recommend something better if you get a CF tripod. Mine hasn't held up very well at all.

Many factors in that. I know people shooting foxes out near 400m, but personally I'm a sub 200m thermal shooter. It's passive, just move closer 😊
