TIKKA VS HOWA 6.5 CREEDMOOR VS 308

[@mickbray6296]

Any Aussie shooter channel is an instant follow. Hope to see more video's from you guys.

[@aussiegunners01]

Hey mate thanks for watching, love the comment!! New video coming soon. Cheers!!!

[@24kachina]

I'm a lifelong Howa 1500 shooter in Arizona - since 1983 - in .30-06, .25-06, and 7 mm Rem Mag. They are just excellent, well made rifles at a great value price. The winner's 6.5 IS WICKED accurate. Good on ya mates!

[@aussiegunners01]

Hey mate!! Great comment! Yes josh is very proud of his 6.5! We are glad a man of your howa appreciation is watching!! Thank you! Cheers!!

[@24kachina]

Great video - both hilarious and substantive. Keep it up please

[@kids9194]

Tikka shot at 180 was a hit. Just grazed it far left edge at center. If you look close you can see it.

[@rkguybru8632]

Great video! Sorry about the Auzzie rules. I just ordered a Howa 1500 in 308 this morning, and will be picking it up in 7 days when it arrives at the shop, here in Montana! I can’t wait!!!

[@bornodnoc1034]

Always good to see a new Aussie review channel.

[@aussiegunners01]

Mate thanks for watching! We are trying our best! Thanks for the comment!

[@CalaisRider]

All good but I would have liked to know what caliber was being shot at each point as a comparison. "Gunshot sound" does not really let the viewer know what is being fired, when.

[@samesaw]

Why wouldn't you start with 100-meter group test??

[@jimpalmer4916]

Not bad for all concerned, and now I am very happy to be a proud owner of multiple 1500s, and vanguards, same thing.

That landscape fooled me into thinking you were shooting here in Western Montana, untill you didn't have a Montana accent. Same scenery, same wonderful mates, shooting. ☆

[@austinanderson8485]

Howa 1500 with an insane group that’s why I trust my howa cause it can consitantly stack groups just like the one in this video

[@BlueYodaTex]

What kind of.308. you did really good and straight on the mannequins but maybe felt the pressure on the grouping.

[@MathiasDuk]

Why are the scopes mounted so high?

[@zorandjekic7441]

Tikka is perfect rifle

[@brianholland2916]

I would choose the Howa

[@stovebolt50]

Thanks guys for shooting and sharing a really enjoyable session.

[@aussiegunners01]

Thank you very much for watching!! We do enjoy our shooting session that's for sure!! Thanks for the comment also!! Cheers!

[@clintellison4425]

The bloke with the tikka didn't have enough fore end on the front rest. That's why his group wasn't that good. Also wasn't zeroed to his bullets that's why he missed at 180 to the left

[@aussiegunners01]

Hey mate! Thanks for the comment!! We know man!! We have fixed the issue since then!! Was a bit of an issue sighting in his rifle! He's all good now though! Thanks for watching!! Stay safe!

[@lanejohnson7656]

Excuses, excuses. Aim for the same spot on the target and the groups will be the same regardless the fore end.. Only legit excuse would be ammo selection. Tikka is typically finicky about ammo. Howa cold hammer forged barrels typically shoot a wider variety of loads better.. Just common knowledge.. Tikka’s are accurate, but it typically takes more time to figure out what they like.

[@sharonevans7861]

I have a tikka t3 308. Not picky at all. Shoots 130gr and 168 gr same point off impact. 3 different brands.

[@ERAUGarrison]

[@MRxr400]

young fella should have gone the head for the last 180 and held right to compensate. 4 shot group showed it was needing adjusted right. i would have also had a 1" high at 100 so zero at 200. but that's a hunting POI style. they need to stretch the legs on those 6.5's too. 180M is a start nthough

[@MRxr400]

Josh, reloads? very nice group if factory.

[@aussiegunners01]

Hey mate, they are factory loads. American Gunner.

[@charlesgutzwiller5988]

Love my 308 my mildot radical won't let me down if I do my part

[@henryvaneyk3769]

In South Africa the Tikka is priced at least 60 - 80% more than the Howa. God alone knows why. No wonder then that Howa is the best seller rifle in Saffa land.

[@brianholland2916]

Ask a politician for sure

[@rotasaustralis]

I was watching the bloke with the Tikka. He was banging away at the trigger like he was plucking a guitar string. He needs some lessons on trigger control. Squeeze, follow through & let off. You can't expect good accuracy when you bang on the trigger like that. The results are no surprise to me though. I know Tikka have this awesome reputation but, I've yet to personally witness the reputation become reality. I've seen plenty of Howa's shoot lights out. Not so much the Tikka's.

[@aussiegunners01]

G'day mate!! Firstly thanks for the comment!! Yes he was jerking the trigger for sure! After we filmed it we showed him the footage!! He did another video with us "LITHGOW VS RUGER" with his new 223 and it's a vast improvement!! Have a look and see what you think! But as for the tikka rifle itself I just think there a nice rifle with a good reputation!!! Thanks for watching man!!!!!

[@rotasaustralis]

@@aussiegunners01 I'll give it a look for sure. It is hard to keep your mind on everything all at the one time when trying to shoot the smallest group you can. I think good marksmanship is mostly training ourselves to be aware of all the aspects like trigger control, butt stock shoulder pocket position & pressure, breathing & etc. I did have a go at Ozzie, over on Ozzie reviews one time because he was conducting accuracy review segments in windy conditions. Not a good result & certainly not applicable to any particular rifles accuracy potential. Ozzie does really good reviews but, that one aspect peeved me & my arsehole ached as a result. I recently watched a review of the Howa HCR, I think it's called, where the Guy (a yank) was having all kinds of feeding issues cause he was using the wrong mag. Who knows how many that shit review will turn away from Howa's now, & into the future. Fuckin shit show I reckon &, these kinds of fuckups are all over KZbin. I just think that anyone putting out reviews on public platforms should have all their bases covered & be able to accurately portray whatever they are reviewing. It looks as though you blokes are onto though & I did otherwise enjoy the review. Regards..............Rotas

[@aussiegunners01]

Nice one Sir! You will not be disappointed.

[@blackbeargear8884]

I'd like to see Josh shoot the tikka. That gun definitely can do better but it's more of a hunter barrel that version. If he had a heavier barrel he would have better groups. Still great.

[@aussiegunners01]

Thanks for the comment mate! Josh here, Next time I will have a decent shoot with his tikka. It does shoot well. Would be keen to see it used in a hunting scenario. Thanks for watching and stay safe mate!

[@kids9194]

Tikka hit the head shot at 180 on the first try. He grazed the far left center on the edge. Just barely but it was a hit.

[@aussiegunners01]

Hey mate thanks for watching!! Yes you are correct! I told Callum so now he doesn't feel so bad!! Thanks for the comment. Stay safe! Cheers!

[@m2gjam139]

Great job guys I have quite a few rifles and shotguns myself I reload for seven calibers. I also have plenty of ammo. I've been buying ammo for years since i saw this coming during the obama years now it's out of control.. I never got hung up on the tightest groups. I don't own one rifle that doesn't have iron sights . I feel you should be proficient at 100 to 200 yards without a optic depending on the caliber All of you did well all in the kill zone give or take a inch. But what if your scope breaks your done. The 6.5 Creedmoore is temping to buy but I have enough, great round Not criticizing just a observation Well done stay safe.

[@aussiegunners01]

Hey mate thanks for watching this one!! We definitely have our selection of iron sight rifles and we agree you have to be capable without a scope that's for sure!! But most of our rifles don't have the option. Scope or nothing! Except my Ruger 223!! Love that gun! Thanks again man!!!!

[@m2gjam139]

@@aussiegunners01 Do you have a Ruger Mini 14 or you can't have semi auto. Or maybe the Ruger Hawkeye? There must be a way around that there are ways to mount sights then put high rings on the scope mounts. I guess it's more trouble than it's worth. You don't want any problems. No need to respond.

[@aussiegunners01]

No Ruger mini 14 for us mate!! They sell them at our local gun shop but no real way we can have one unless your a farmer for pest control!!

[@m2gjam139]

@@aussiegunners01 Well that sucks here in the suburbs you can use a pellet gun for pests like raccoons with your neighbors permission. I guess your talking about coyote or Dingos. It's strange it looks like you guys are in the wilderness when shooting. Bottom line is they don't want you to have guns. There trying here but the States won't enforce federal laws in many cases. Which is good news.

[@poulo69]

Hi lads. I hate to be a nay sayer. But I could have done that test with a .22. Those are high powered rifles. I can understand a 100y base line but 180y as your further range is not worth doing. And with the size of those targets you wouldn’t even have to Chang’s the dope on your scope. I’m sure you guys can do better

[@aussiegunners01]

Hey mate thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!! But I think you misunderstand what our channel is about! We don't claim to be anything where not, including top marksman plinking targets at long distances with a .22 and playing with our dopes!! We do it for fun not for setting records! Your meant to just enjoy it, not critique it like where at shooting school. Thanks for your input though. And as a fellow KZbinr you should always keep your comments positive, don't put yourself in a pedestal. Offer advise, not criticism. Stay safe mate!
