Shooting off hand like that is so fucking HARD. People probably don't get how much skill it takes to do that accurately. Bravo bro! But ugh, clean your mags dude 😂😂 Edit to the people saying "Just get a new rifle!" He literally said he did. But he has to do a waiting period before he can go get the new rifle. Fuckin watch the video before commenting.
It’s so dumb that there is a waiting period for every gun. I understand a wait for your first gun as that may weed out folks buying a gun impulsively for crime or suicide but after you already have a gun what’s the point? Any harm someone might do with their second gun could just as easily have been done with the first gun.
@@taylorfranklin1114 Well Taylor said it isn't that hard! Did you hear that Militaries of the world! Stop training your guys! It turns out it's super easy!
As a Kentuckian, it’s absolutely insane to me that my man has such big work to do and can’t get a decent rifle. 😩 It’s a worse deal for the camels as well.
As a French hunter I understand your scares because we have here one of the worse legislations about weapons and we can loose easily our right to keep them , for instance if you are involved in a small fight (even in self defend) but on the other hand , the bandits and drugs dealers own illegal AR and hand guns without any problems !
yea that's why I like living in the US we have a issue with wild hogs(they are very invasive) and you are allowed to kill them however you want and in the south people go hog hunting in helicopters
So many people need to just shut the fuck up and type or say nothing. Wonder if that thought ever crossed your mind. "Should I shut my gape hole instead of giving my opinion? Nahhhhh, gonna flap it instead"
As another West Australian shooter, it's frustrating for everyone involved with firearms in this state. I'm still baffled at the nerve of Cook and Papalia. The new laws (which thankfully aren't in place yet) could be enough for me to leave WA, but as we all know, laws like these never get repealed in this country. I fear WA is a testing ground for the rest of the country. EDIT (posted this further down, but I'm also going to put it here in the off chance I can change even one person's mind) - We already have extremely strict safe storage requirements, and Australia is already one of the world's safest countries with regards to firearm crime and the public. These new proposed changes will not make a dent in organized crime and trafficking of illegal firearms (in fact, anecdotally, I argue they could even bolster the illegal firearms trade, as more than a few people have told me that they will simply "call up their mate" and get a firearm illegally if the new laws make their lives too difficult), all that will come of them will be increased costs, red tape, and hurdles for law abiding firearms owners, and the clogging up of an already struggling mental health sector. As a legal firearm owner, I am worried. The legislation is vague, it's overreaching, it's unsustainable, it unfairly punishes people like myself who do the right thing, AND it won't even achieve its stated goals. Australia absolutely does not need any further restrictions on firearm use (and I'd argue they've been excessive for too long - there are many, many hypocritical and nonsensical rules in place that amount to little more than fearmongering.) People who commit crimes are already barred from owning firearms, and heaping yet more restrictions onto the backs of legal firearms owners will never change this. The Western Australian government has zero opposition, and is able to enact any laws they wish. This is EXTREMELY dangerous to a democratic nation - when a government has no opposition, it means that democracy is effectively dead. Western Australians need to realize this, and they need to realize it fast. Papalia and Cook are engaged in nothing more than security theatre, designed to target a minority of Australians that the public have very little empathy for. Today it's firearms owners, but tomorrow, it could be you - and they will have no opposition to prevent them from enacting any laws they wish. Anybody that is passionate about the environment, political landscape, mass surveillance, etc. who attends protests or voices their concerns online in Australia is in very real danger of having their rights taken away, and Australians are too apathetic to do anything about it. We NEED to start caring more as a nation, because privacy, civil liberties, and freedoms have been eroded beyond what I could have ever feared over this last 15 years particularly. Australia is in a position that must be carefully-navigated, or the next two decades are going to see things become very, very difficult for the average person. Just a few things to think about. I urge you to look further into these proposed laws and really think hard on what they're really trying to push with them (and it has nothing to do with public safety.) Ask any legal firearms owner - we are some of the most responsible people in the community, because we have permanent targets on our backs. We CANNOT afford to screw up, or we lose our tools by force. The data backs this up; so why these new laws? Who benefits? Who gains more control as a result of them? Why even further restrict laws that were already extremely effective? Every Australian loses when laws like these get passed, because they'll eventually come for all of us. Don't let the corrupt, power hungry crooks win, or modern Australians are finally going to realize what they're going to lose - and will realize it too late.
We don't have a decently functioning alternative government here in WA. They got wiped out and that's a huge part of the problem. It's fundamental to democracy that regardless of what side of the aisle you sit on, you have to have a robust opposition. That's why Cook and Papalia are like they are. Too much power in the hands of too few. When the going gets tough, the tough have to get going, no matter how far the chips are down in democracy. If any of us, regardless of the issue we are fighting for, or the side we are on, walk away, that doesn't achieve anything. Not having a go at you. Having worked as a systemic advocate on very very touchy, sensitive subjects relating to the most marginalised, discriminated against individuals in this state a decade or more ago, I know how tough it is. Those of you who can have to keep up the good fight. I had to walk away because of my own circumstances, so I do understand why people do.
@@permissiontoshine I get ya. I have too much keeping me in WA as it is (business, family, friends, community, etc.), so leaving is just an empty threat based on frustration. It's hard to sit idly by while more and more autonomy and freedoms are taken from people, while the government abuses its majority power by bullying firearms owners, knowing we have very little public support as it is. Today it's shooters, but tomorrow it's activists, protestors, privacy advocates, etc. Australia has a horrific track record in these areas when compared to other first world, democratic nations, and we're sleepsprinting into authoritarianism. The majority of Australians don't see themselves as free individuals, they think only in terms of what they're allowed to do - and if they upset the government, then they'll be sent to bed early and have their toys taken away. This societal attitude is beyond toxic and self-destructive, and politicians over the last decade have really taken advantage of it... and it scares me on a very deep level to see so little opposition to it. If I was more forward-thinking when I was younger, I'd have honestly moved stateside by this point. As it stands though, I'm not young enough to start over again, and so all I can do now is educate people on what they have to lose as a result of the political landscape lately, and hope that things turn around. I fear for Australia's future as a 'free' country, because as far as western democratic nations go, we're far closer to the likes of China than we are the USA or Europe. It keeps me up at night sometimes. Just the thoughts of a West Aussie who remembers what Australia used to be like pre-9/11. Life has only gotten more controlled, monitored, expensive, and bleak since, although you could say that about the rest of the world. With all these laws enacted for our 'safety', rates of depression, hopelessness and anxiety sure have skyrocketed - at some point people need to ask themselves where the line should be drawn, because if the point of life is to reach a state of free contentedness and purpose, then a bubble-wrapped society causes far more harm than its goals are trying to stamp out.
As a shooter myself, good luck if you think you’re going to get any support at all from the average Aussie, especially from the younger crowd who live in more and more urban environments or from the huge numbers of of immigrants coming into this country. What you’re doing here is just so far removed from what the “average Australian” is these days you may as well be living on Mars to them. Unfortunately, what we enjoy doing is seen as thing of the past or a fringe interest to most people. Australia is in a state of rapid change.
There's actually a real world out there boys, try leaving your games and toys for a while. Maybe check out the bush, or desert or anything outside, you might learn something. Ya might even like it mate.
Mate the way youre clearing those malfunctions is just beautiful, the speed of which youre reacting just shows how skilled you are with even a shitty rifle.
Enfields are amazing reliable rifles. That does not look like the correct magazine for any Enfield I've seen, and I have 2 of them. (it's been modernized and re-chambered in .308, that's probably why it doesnt cycle very well.)
Disregarding the fact that it's not an enfield, the magazine is the "right" mag for the rifle, it's just a small shitty mag that he has to use because of australia's dictatorship-like weapon laws.@@Chris-sf7ug
@@Chris-sf7ug They are beautiful rifles, i'm lucky to have the one i have, its still .303 but i had some work done on it to tighten its accuracy. Id love to get my hands on a L42A1 which is the .308 converted no.4s
I'm canadian indigenous, from a family of avid hunters and sport shooters, and I gotta say, for my first time seeing your stuff, your efficiency when culling large groups on your own is honestly really impressive, and I 1000% understand your frustration towards the firearms law changes amd general stupidity of it, it seems that even when we have license and purchase systems that are safe, politicians, even ones from our own parties and voting blocks, just find new ways to complain, fear monger, and make the laws even more restrictive towards us when they dont need to be.
Look, I'm not going to pretend I know anything about Australia's gun laws. I'm from the US and pro-gun. From what I've passively gathered, China has a lot of your politicians on their payroll. Idk how true that is there but since Biden definitely is the US has gone straight to hell. Anyway, maybe bought politicians is where to start solving the gun law problem.
@@cowboybowfishingoutdoors5013 The population that they supposedly answer to. No human being has the right to tell another human being what they can and cannot possess, especially governmental entities, when they are nothing more than a group of humans that "own" military installations and weapons of every type, themselves.
The minority in Canada that demands more restrictive gun control legislation (poly etc.) are a smaller minority than the people who have a licence in Canada. There are about 2.2m of us. I honestly think the average Canadian doesn’t even think nor care about gun control. Of course if you put some scary propaganda pictures of “assault style” firearms in front of them and then ask they might have an opinion (see the 2020 ban where the mini 14 silhouette was shown with a tactical stock in government literature in order to make it more scary) During the 2020 ban we were told over and over AND OVER that the AR15 is not suitable for hunting. Specifically mentioning that “you don’t need an AR15 to take down a deer”. Well guess what, this January there is to be a deer cull in BC, I think on Vancouver island. American contractors will be dispatching deer from helicopters with Ar15s with prohibited high capacity magazines and prohibited muzzle devices. You can’t make this chit up 😂
I'm extremely impressed with the marksmanship this man has, especially with the difficulties of the equipment he is using. That rifle struggles to cycle an impressive amount.
In South Africa we have a lot of these rifles many have been converted from .303 to 6mm. This is how al of them function. One can get pretty fast with it.
@@THEDOOD32 The other issue is ammunition. They deprive their citizens of good ammunition. Your rifle will not function correctly without the correct ammo. I go through many brands of ammo before I'm 100% satisfied with the function of my rifle. Some of my rifles only work perfectly when I reload the ammo myself. Unfortunately, ammo manufacturers are not worried about perfect loads and tolerances. They are just in the ballpark. In the Australian outback, they don't have the luxury of testing every brand out there or every load out there that functions and shoots best. In the USA we are spoiled. That rifle is known to jam even when you reload the ammo yourself.
I wasn’t even aware that camel over population was an issue an Australia! Thanks for educating me, and keep up the good work on maintaining a balanced ecosystem.
@@Jon3830no mate they were brought in the South Australia to use for transportation to the interior by Afghan camel herders/drovers. They were instrumental in the early days especially for things like the opal trade around Coober Pedy. Also worked routes through to Alice Springs

Excellent job Jack, sadly there are too many people who have no idea the damage that introduced / pest animals have in the Australian ecosystem. they think poor animal why cull them , yet they never consider the impact on or loss of native species endemic to small areas, having grown up on National parks in north Queensland and having been taught about the aspects of conservation and animal management I can truly back your work here.
@@permissiontoshine It was certainly an interesting time as my Father was the senior ranger for 3 of the different national parks that he was in control of in my lifetime before he retired, the first one was west of Rockhampton in central Queensland called Blackdown tablelands national park, the second one was a park north west of Mackay called Eungella national park then the final one was not lived on by us but he managed as senior ranger was north of Bowen called Cape Upstart national park as well as some other parks in the area around the Whitsundays and Bowen. with the first 2 national parks having been live on as the senior ranger we didn't get to go to many places on school holidays as he had to work so was a really boring place to live as children, apart from the occasional slideshow or spotlight walk with tourists during the holidays
I'm from the Us and not familiar with what the camels affect. What kind of damage do the camels cause? Is it crops and farm land damage or like other animals and ecosystem stuff?
@@BrandonLee_1171 lmao what a drama queen, it’s because lots of Americans are hella experienced with guns and hunting and grow up doing this type of thing, at least where I’m from. Therefore I know a good shot when I see one. Now go touch some grass
@@BrandonLee_1171 the rich city dwellers don’t count lmao. I could shoot the nuts off a squirrel brotha, you see fragile for some reason, definitely not a trait of a true outdoorsman. Don’t be so pretentious you’re the type of person I’m talking about in the original comment. Also guided hunts are hella cringe and normal Americans would all agree.
🤣🤣🤣 As a young whipper snapper, I only got to try out a gun just like that one a couple of times (some crazy older male farming cousins trying to teach me a lesson I suspect) and I feel the same way.
never thought id go onto youtube and watch a man dome some camels in the outback, this is amazing also if youre one of those people that say, "thats so wrong how dare you" gtfo, theyre not supposed to be there
I have to say, even though the rifle clearly isnt running as smoothly as it could, its very entertaining to watch you use such a beautiful veteran rifle for real work
I'm from a sleepy town in Mid-Missouri, USA and I am a gun owner/enthusiast. We have the invasive issue with feral hogs here and we host a many encouraged hunts to cull the population. It's wild to hear how strict gun laws are across the pond, anyone above the age of 18-21 that doesn't have a violent background can purchase and own as many legal firearms as they choose. I'm an avid outdoorsman and I never camp without my shotgun and .22, there are too many variables between fauna and shady people. I try to stay strapped everywhere I go.
Where i am from there is basically no violent crime, wild animals also arent a problem. To even own a gun here you have to be atleast 18, have no criminal record, pass a psychological and medical examination, complete firearms safety and handling course +having an justifiable reason for owning one(sport shooting, hunting, self defence..)
Having remove myself from Missouri in 2016, I was never able to purchase a legal firearm there, they said I could not pass the back ground, moving to Colorado, had no problems, No I never had a domestic or a felony!!! Facts! Now when camping I always carry, or have within reach platforms of 308, 12 gauge, 22 mag, and 45.... In case of predators 2/4 legged!
Dude you’re a stone cold baller! That run and gun is real! I am an elk hunter and a 22 year deputy sheriff, firearm instructor and gun owner.. I teach moving shooting and breathing all the time and you did a bang up job with the tools at hand.. Sorry you’re stuck with stupid gun ownership rules my friend!!
I have the same bolt issue with my old 303. What worked ever time for me was just putting my thumb on the very back of the bolt and pushing it forward when it jamed then used the bolt handle to lock it down. My bolt jams usually happened with a full magazine. I use graphite power to help ease the action. Awesome vid
It’s always a problem when both levels of government are of the same political party . Even worse when their so far left . As an ex farmer I feel your frustration.
@@noneed4sleep64 No, it’s observably true every time I step out my door and go to work. There is no “culture war”, there’s a cultural and political steamroller that rolls anybody who so much as dares to mumble under their breath about the current state of things. The ruling elite, their lapdogs in the news media and entertainment industries, the intelligence agencies, the military, the universities and academia, the medical and pharmaceutical industries, NGOs, etc are overwhelmingly left wing in ALL “western democracies”. And the contempt they all share for their respective founding/traditional populaces is astounding. That’s not up for debate, it’s a statement of fact.
An awful ( but necessary) job being made even worse by a short minded government that won't allow the proper tools to allow the job to be done humanely.
Great work Jack. Shame it’s so tough to get a good tool to successfully do your job and no doubt feed the people make it so hard for you. Farming with one arm held behind your back. Good to see this episode has drawn you a lot of positive support and comments.
Brilliant video. I am glad you show this for what it is. Very well explained in the moment too, not an easy time to clearly communicate a sensitive topic. I'm in Victoria and despite our absolutely useless government, somehow we're still better off, for now. It's imperative we work towards maintaining our access to these tools that ensure our very unique environment and industry remains available. If we don't, we will all suffer as a result. Prohibition only ever leads to black markets and we do not want that.
As an American I came across this channel and love the work you are doing.culling and hunting are 💯 percent separate and I'm glad you said that .gotta do what ya gotta do my guy,also man you've got impeccable taste with the ole enfield.the ability to preload mags and that slick action make it a banner choice for control work.plus .303 is no slouch on those hairy spitting beasts lol
@@brycebullman2270 that's awesome man,I didn't know that.i saw that action and immediately thought .303 lmao.the 7.62x51 is a good round but here in the States alot of people are finding out that 7.62x39 has the same if not better than the 30-30 Winchester.sks type rifles make for a decent brush gun.
We did the same thing to the bison theyve been illegal to hunt because tgey actually went to far and almost killed all of them. But i mean back in the day itnwas wild there would he a huge herd youd jusy try to get as many as you could. For how they had no semi automatics its wild they got so close to sending them extinct. It was teddy roosebelt that protected them at the end he was an avid hunter and didnt want them to go extinct canr hunt them if they go extinct after all
I couldn't agree more with you. Great video showing what its really like farming sustainably & managing the land. I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work.
good work Jack, they are an introduced animal and are in pest numbers, I know some stations herd them up and export them to Saudi Arabia. i am glad to hear your getting a replacement rifle as well, this one has issues, with the mag feed , as you pointed out. I hope the replacement isnt too far off, and the one you have can be fixed.
Jeez that bloody AIA makes a mockery of the legendary Lee Enfield reliability. What a pain! I used to have a Lee Enfield .303 SMLE No.1 Mk 3 passed down from my Father and that thing was hard to jam, even when you tried.
This is interesting to see, love your commentary while running and shooting. And oddly enough, the humor you add when dealing with downed critters. I'll admit, it's odd seeing camels as invasive creatures, sort of like how wild hogs are that way in the states, but good to see people are keeping things in check. Additionally, hope things go well for the firearms reform in your country. Considering the wild shit that exists in your country in nature alone, I figured every home aught to have an RPG on standby just in case.
@@byohen1752theres way more crazy people outside usa compared to in usa. Outside usa most everyone looks to the government as their slave master whome resolves all problems. And when its not that its the taliban and even worse shit man so wtf are you talking about. Crazy people exist everywhere. Usa has more guns than people. The extreme vast majority never had to shoot anyone yet theyre not crazy
Very cool to see the old Enfield in action. So much history in the old war horses and they just keep on going. Edit: just realized it's an AIA, still cool.
It’s a shame you can’t have a recoil operated semiautomatic. I’m assuming your government won’t let people have them. Thank god for the second amendment here in the US
What rights? We never had the right to firearm ownership. It's a privilege to own firearms in this country and licensed firearm owners know that and respect that. Not everyone should be allowed to own firearms, there's plenty of cookers out there.
Yeah, nah. We're not seppoes. The last thing we want or need is American gun culture. We don't view guns as some sort of fetish or totemic object, they're just tools.
In any other state, he'd be eligible for an AR, but in Western Australia, ALL category D firearms are restricted for government use only. It's absolutely bullshit, but bullshit laws seem to be the rule with these west coast states...
As an Australian citizen, it is not that hard to obtain a brand new firearm capable of the round throughput he requires. Especially if you have permission to shoot on a property as this guy would. Semi-autos are even available for contract shooters and primary producers. He lacks either enough money or sufficient time to arrange one (yes we have waiting periods but they aren't excessive - 7 days in my state, sounds like longer in his, he doesn't say). In my opinion, it's unethical to head out there with a potentially defective firearm that could malfunction when he needs it the most, such as if he made a bad shot and leaves an animal wounded but can't follow up with a mercy shot. The way he shit talks deer hunters or roo shooters saying "this is a different game" - it's all kind of faux militaristic but he's shooting camels that stand and stare. If you're culling and it's unpleasant, why film it and make glorifying remarks about what you're doing, but then clothe it as a opinion piece about the firearm laws in your state. It just looks like a cover to blast a bunch of camels and put in on youtube. Or think of it this way - who in their right mind would think this video will positively sway public opinion in favour of firearm laws, jesus. I'd prefer he just said "I have fun blasting camels" or "I shoot camels for both fun and as a means to preserve my monetary return on my agricultural property". Just guessing here, but this guy is probs ex or wannabe military who seeks recognition for what he sees as a tactical-adjacent activity. Not a lot else to do out in country WA I guess.
@@sebastionbach Just as someone from WA myself, our wait times for new firearms can be literal months due to the 'license the firearm not the shooter' system, and we have no semi-auto centrefires available for private use - catgeory D is for government and military only, which is ridiculous. WA easily has the worst, most nonsensical firearms laws in the entire country, and they're likely to get even worse. Australia doesn't have a gun problem, and introducing even more restrictions is pointless.
@@sebastionbachidk man it sounds to me like you have all these restrictions in place that i dont. can you order ammo online without waiting for approval or begging for permission? Csn you order .50 bmg armor piercing incindiary tracers like i can? You got hollow points or frangibles? How restricted is your ammo? I can buy a browning design m2 slr from ohio ordinance. To me I think that would he great for camel control. Put it on your diesel toyota for keeping china from comi- i mean camels. Camel control
@sebastionbach you clearly have no clue camels are an invasive species you ever seen what a camel does to a car or even a road train doing 100 I have done camel control before nearly every hunting rifle is useless for large mobs they aren't designed for continuous shooting most semi autos available for professional shooters in aus that are suitable for camel control will start jamming after you pump a full mag through
Good work Jack. I have just seen you latest video and submitted a comment re firearms regulations proposed changes. If the WA govt played their part and culled feral animals on crown lands, much of the work burden and cost that you and others in the farming and pastoral industry would be greatly reduced. Your conservation work should be encouraged, not made more difficult.
I have not seen malfunctions like that and as consistent as that ever. I just left the army after 15 years and 4 operational deployments. I have never seen a weapon system jam like that, that often. Crazy. Love the channel ❤️
@Jack out the back i think the springs in your magazines have gone tired probabaly because they're so old, try taking the springs out and streching them(make them longer), reinstall and see if your lee enfield feeds better then? also try lubricating the inside of your mags and rifle mechanism also. good shooting btw, cheers!
Hey jack i saw u asking about rifles and optics.ruger and mossberg both make quality scout rifle systems that are magazine fed. Burris makes a really nice long eye relief scope that is reasonable priced. Good luck,shoot straight,if you cant,carry lots of ammo
Good job on that mob and agree with your comments regarding proposed changes to legislation, have also signed petition for extending consultation period, rejoined SSAA and joined Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party of WA so that some rational thought can be brought to the table that can benefit licensed and responsible firearms owners and allow farmers to farm in an increasingly difficult environment.
Hated to see you struggle loading that rifle. This is why we fight so hard in US to keep the government at bay when it comes to our guns. Good job either way
Austrailia is a shithole man good luck importing guns there. All our guns are illegal there. Im technically a war criminal in this one place in europe because of their ammunition laws theyre like "that special ammo right there is a war crime" do i care? No. Theyre hollow points. I can easily buy .50bmg armor piercing incindary tracers in the mail so frankly then flipping out over hollow points its a big over reaction considering where i live at the sportsmans retail establishments there is consumer grade plastic explosives its like man theres plenty of things im buying they couldve called a war crime. It just makes me cool over there in europe they say "damn jean jackets and explosive bullets?" Its wild how in west europe if i tell them im starting a private militia they want to call it war crime but the farther you go to east europe theyre like "which gun do you want"
Blowing my mind as a canadian, you ran after them that long and hardly broke a sweat. I assume that was an AIA .308? I thought they were decent guns. Didn't know camels were a problem there. Great work, man, and good on checking they're all expired. Do you do anything with them, or are they just left for other animal's?
Gday Jack As a 45 yr involvement in firearm sports in WA has drawn to a close for me , now in QLD I can offer you a workable solution to your rifl6woes. Go to a tikka t3cx action with a 20 inch barrel and mate it with a MDT or similar chassis system. Totally configurable to your needs and gets rid of any bedding issues you are having with your tikka heating up in the factory stock. Optic option is a 1 to 4 variable short barrel scope. With the above set up use MDT maps, double stack them and twill have a spectacularly accurate, reliable set up which will make chopper and ground shooting all the much easier. And yes I have studied the Wa Legisand act back to front. I gave up trying because of the divided approach WA had. Too late now to try and be united the horse has bolted. And you have a majority govt that will fi as it likes. The big effort has been left too late I am afraid
Man, as a hunter and first time viewer, when I saw how many boxes of ammo you took, I almost stopped watching right there. I get it now. 😀 My condolences on the stupid firearms laws, which from what I hear, has done nothing to protect anyone. Over here in canada it’s heading that way with new laws being passed in some pretty sketchy ways, and new rules being quietly slipped in. We’re fighting them in court, and trying to fight in the public opinion field as well.
@@xylemrays671 That is absolutely ludicrous! 😂. First of all, the statement "maybe thousands" clearly shows you have no clue, and you really aren’t worth my time to talk to. I’ll throw the second point out anyway though. Go check the violent crime/murder stats pre and post. You’ll maybe see a little dip for a year, maybe 2, then it’ll clime right back up. I think you had roughly the same laws as we do in Canada, and there is zero evidence to support taking away legally purchased guns, from law abiding citizens. In canada there are 3 times more murders with blunt objects, amd if you take away gang crime, almost everything in the world kills more people than guns. And the gang guns are over 93% smuggled or manufactured illegally. More people die from seafood, get injured by moose, walking down the street, etc etc etc….. if you look at the mass murder from drugs, or car accidents, amd don’t want massive changes, then you’re a total hypocrite
@@xylemrays671there hasn't been a mass shooting in Switzerland and they all have fully automatic rifles lol. Gun laws literally do not have an effect on gun crime. Most "mass shootings" in the US are committed by black people using illegal guns. Just a fact, it's not racist It just do be like that sometimes.
@xylemrays671 but how many crimes that would have been averted by an armed, law abiding citizen have you experienced? No one knows, because they are under reported or not at all. It is never a good idea to rely on government for your personal protection.
I just discovered this channel, interesting stuff! I can sympathize with waiting for the paperwork for a new rifle. I am currently waiting for a licence for a hunting rifle myself, I applied on August 16th, so it has been exactly three months now. The hunting season here in my country (Denmark) is September 1st to January 31st - this means I have today, November 16th, lost half of my first hunting season to the slow bureaucracy of the police. I hope you will forgive my ignorance, but are you legally limited to a small magazine? It would seem to me that for the type of culling you are doing, you would benefit greatly from something larger.
I wish you luck. Many people here in the US take our rights for granted and don't realize how easily we could lose them. From one hunter to another I hope you can get your rifle and have a good hunting season this year.
In WA we can use mags over 10, they’re just not super common for the AIA/Enfield/Parker Hale pattern actions. The main issue is that because some states limit them to 10 on their license, customs will only release them to people with a AG permit which can be a hell of a lot of hastle.
The WA firearms restrictions are completely impractical. This video highlights this. It must be worth going out on a quad or similar and taking 2 or 3 rifles to cycle through? Im a "card carrying" paid up member of the sffp and have been for roughly 10 years. If you have any interest in shooting, fishing and farming then you are wasting your vote by not getting behind them in your state.
I wholeheartedly agree with every word you've uttered, however we need to be clear in our definitions and open our eyes to the big picture. Firstly, it's not the labour party in its historical sense, it's a socialist party and its long term multi generational goal is total control of every aspect of society. That total control is gained bit by bit, year on years and all in the name of the greater good and if you speak against it you're a radical, a reactionary, a racist, or a homophobe and you get vetoed on social media. Every attempt to change the law or the constitution is supported by violent rallies and protests to intimidate normal people into accepting what they're being told to do. Remember the mob rallies and abuse we got when we were told "go with the vibe" and "if you vote no you're a racist" or when essential workers lost their jobs because they didn't get a jab or wear a mask. It's happening in WA it's happening in Qld and it's almost totally complete in Vic. Wake up Australia there's a lot more at stake here than wearing a mask.
Gosh as a Canadian, who's been involved with the American and Canadian firearms industry, I'm always somewhat amazed at the complexities and insanely stupid laws and restrictions in all countries including Australia.
Great work mate. Yeah the old wa gov doesn't understand that a lot of us cull more than we hunt. We do it under a normal firearms licence as a corperate licence doesn't offer anything extra other than cost. No cat d unless you are gov. I run a ruger scout, verney carron, rem700 all in 308 and getting my 375 replaced with a zastava currently (as you mentioned long process in wa). All that i use for different camel culling in different circumstances. I also cull a number of other pests, with firearms set up for different circumstances, limiting to 5 will just mean the wrong tools will be used for the wrong jobs or some jobs cant be done humanly or effectively. While the criminals will continue to break the law.
@@tls7053 Well there's your problem. You're trying to cull rabbits with a gun. Do i even need to discuss on why that's probably not going to work? Are you unaware of other rabbit culling methods?
Mate, I'm not going to get in a contest with you. I provide the service my customers,farmers or pet food processor require or specify. Hence the tools I need. Been in the game a while mate, I know the options.
*VERY LONG COMMENT WARNING & APOLOGY* 🤣Great video Jack. Wow, the country is looking beautiful around you! Having lived and worked out your way and beyond for a decade (3 decades ago), your videos make me long for home. It felt more like home out there then anywhere else I've lived, even though I'm an inner-inner city girl. But I wildly digress. THANKYOU for showing and telling it how it is. I can only but imagine some of the commentary you might receive from the peanut gallery of ideologues from elsewhere. Most people outside of Australia have NO IDEA what a problem and how destructive introduced species like camels cause in the outback. If you care a hoot about the environment you would support and understand the importance of culling. Humans are the ones who've caused all of the environmental imbalance and destruction. It is our duty to put that right. To save further embarrassment I'm splitting my comment up🤣🤣🤣
I’m interested in your tikka comment, I use tikka action both for hunting rifle that sees 200+ round range trips for practice and for competition rifle that I recently ran twice per stage for 250 rounds in a morning, with 20-24 rounds per stage back to back. I have never had a swelling issue on my tikkas and am very surprised to hear it! Great video!
Looks like he’s using ppu ammo I’ve seen that shit choke a marlin 30-30 and other guns that I’ve never seen having problems before. Tikka is on that list that had issues
Savage model 10 and model 110 are very cheap here in the USA. are very accurate and pretty much indestructible. My model 110fp i bought in 2000, ive put 2000 rounds through the pipe and still have tooling marks throughout the bore, the first time i shot it, i put 80 rounds downrange in the first day and 120 the second day. And i was loading up and shooting each box as fast as i could cycle the bolt and reload till i knocked off each box and i had to walk 200 feet total to get the next box. That was the cool down period at which time id do a fast bore punch and swab then try to burn another box of 20 as fast as i could. I had also put a ceramic coating on that needed baked in tu cure it. It's a 30-06 and my shoulder just went numb. But i did carry that bruising for a month and a half. It is a heavier barrel than than a sporter but it is not the 1 inch barrel like the old M-40 i was issued when i was a Marine and i don't have as good of optics that that goat had, but i can stalk and hunt all the deer that I'm allowed in Nebraska and my rounds hit where the cross hair is settled on, and most of my kills are within 300 meters at most, i don't like risky shots, but most are usually less than 100 meters. But at the range i can still group a 5 inch pattern at 1000 meters, im not the same level of health as i was in 2000. I was 25 when I got this iron. But at the range, i usually shoot at 600 meters the majority of the time. My groups are a bit tighter there than 1000. And i don't get out to practice as much as i did earlier in my life, and shooting is a diminishing skill.
I really wish I could send you an AR10. Really interesting video. The Go Pro run & gun and finishing shots were something out of a game. Im an American from North Carolina and I never heard of this camel problem in Oz. Best of luck man.
Awesome to see folks like you still out in the bush. I've been debating moving to Australia myself for a few years, do a contract with the ADF after my current contract is over. Doubt I could get the same licensing as you, but it gives me hope.
Given that a lot of your shooting is at 50m on big targets would you be better off to use a smaller red dot and stripper clips for reloading? Or does the 308 conversion not allow for stripper clips?
Holy crap! I thought “camel” was some kind of Australian slang for digerywombatamathing. They’re actually popping camels. Crazy…an invasive species is an invasive species…🤣😂😅
Hope all works out for you in Australia 🇦🇺 we in uk have been having police clamping down on legal gun owners still plenty of illegal firearms being used by criminals but must be the legal owners fault politicians have there own agenda not the wishes of these they are paid to serve.
Exactly the Same thing happening here in South Africa. A massive agenda here to de -arm the civilians. There are more illegal firearms out there. They need to clamp down.on Criminals not us Law abiding citizens
People do not understand the checks that legit shooters go through to get the tools they need. Also culling is WAY different to hunting and if hunting wasn't even possible here the Greens have no idea as to the amount of damage pest animals can do. There is a serious disconnect between honest shooters and the general public. People do not understand. I'm in the Country Fire Service in SA and people in the city simply do not understand what we do. At work, and my family still in the city i get told "your a volunteer you can just not go". My reply is "next time you drive out there, i'll just not rock up". The look of disbelief that no one would come is palpable. People don't understand that land can only support so many animals. Pest animals put natural species under serious threat. You walk up and head shot a camel, rabbit, fox, goat etc and everyone goes nuts. Shooters have lost the PR war in this country since 1996 and there is no way to get it back that I can see. I hate it, have voted for so many years against it and nothing changes. We just get railroaded again and again. We have lost and it's just a case of trying to keep what we have now and it's all going
Shooting off hand like that is so fucking HARD. People probably don't get how much skill it takes to do that accurately. Bravo bro! But ugh, clean your mags dude 😂😂
Edit to the people saying "Just get a new rifle!" He literally said he did. But he has to do a waiting period before he can go get the new rifle. Fuckin watch the video before commenting.
He had to shoot 4 times to kill 1 he's fucking horrable
It’s so dumb that there is a waiting period for every gun. I understand a wait for your first gun as that may weed out folks buying a gun impulsively for crime or suicide but after you already have a gun what’s the point? Any harm someone might do with their second gun could just as easily have been done with the first gun.
Don’t swear
It’s not that hard lol

As a French hunter I understand your scares because we have here one of the worse legislations about weapons and we can loose easily our right to keep them , for instance if you are involved in a small fight (even in self defend) but on the other hand , the bandits and drugs dealers own illegal AR and hand guns without any problems !
Legislation of law abiding citizens on firearms issues only make criminals stronger. Criminals don't follow law.
Yo y’all hunt that’s sick
Laws only apply to the good guys.
yea that's why I like living in the US

As another West Australian shooter, it's frustrating for everyone involved with firearms in this state. I'm still baffled at the nerve of Cook and Papalia. The new laws (which thankfully aren't in place yet) could be enough for me to leave WA, but as we all know, laws like these never get repealed in this country. I fear WA is a testing ground for the rest of the country.
EDIT (posted this further down, but I'm also going to put it here in the off chance I can change even one person's mind) - We already have extremely strict safe storage requirements, and Australia is already one of the world's safest countries with regards to firearm crime and the public. These new proposed changes will not make a dent in organized crime and trafficking of illegal firearms (in fact, anecdotally, I argue they could even bolster the illegal firearms trade, as more than a few people have told me that they will simply "call up their mate" and get a firearm illegally if the new laws make their lives too difficult), all that will come of them will be increased costs, red tape, and hurdles for law abiding firearms owners, and the clogging up of an already struggling mental health sector. As a legal firearm owner, I am worried. The legislation is vague, it's overreaching, it's unsustainable, it unfairly punishes people like myself who do the right thing, AND it won't even achieve its stated goals.
Australia absolutely does not need any further restrictions on firearm use (and I'd argue they've been excessive for too long - there are many, many hypocritical and nonsensical rules in place that amount to little more than fearmongering.) People who commit crimes are already barred from owning firearms, and heaping yet more restrictions onto the backs of legal firearms owners will never change this. The Western Australian government has zero opposition, and is able to enact any laws they wish. This is EXTREMELY dangerous to a democratic nation - when a government has no opposition, it means that democracy is effectively dead. Western Australians need to realize this, and they need to realize it fast.
Papalia and Cook are engaged in nothing more than security theatre, designed to target a minority of Australians that the public have very little empathy for. Today it's firearms owners, but tomorrow, it could be you - and they will have no opposition to prevent them from enacting any laws they wish. Anybody that is passionate about the environment, political landscape, mass surveillance, etc. who attends protests or voices their concerns online in Australia is in very real danger of having their rights taken away, and Australians are too apathetic to do anything about it. We NEED to start caring more as a nation, because privacy, civil liberties, and freedoms have been eroded beyond what I could have ever feared over this last 15 years particularly. Australia is in a position that must be carefully-navigated, or the next two decades are going to see things become very, very difficult for the average person.
Just a few things to think about. I urge you to look further into these proposed laws and really think hard on what they're really trying to push with them (and it has nothing to do with public safety.) Ask any legal firearms owner - we are some of the most responsible people in the community, because we have permanent targets on our backs. We CANNOT afford to screw up, or we lose our tools by force. The data backs this up; so why these new laws? Who benefits? Who gains more control as a result of them? Why even further restrict laws that were already extremely effective?
Every Australian loses when laws like these get passed, because they'll eventually come for all of us. Don't let the corrupt, power hungry crooks win, or modern Australians are finally going to realize what they're going to lose - and will realize it too late.
We don't have a decently functioning alternative government here in WA. They got wiped out and that's a huge part of the problem. It's fundamental to democracy that regardless of what side of the aisle you sit on, you have to have a robust opposition. That's why Cook and Papalia are like they are. Too much power in the hands of too few.
When the going gets tough, the tough have to get going, no matter how far the chips are down in democracy. If any of us, regardless of the issue we are fighting for, or the side we are on, walk away, that doesn't achieve anything. Not having a go at you. Having worked as a systemic advocate on very very touchy, sensitive subjects relating to the most marginalised, discriminated against individuals in this state a decade or more ago, I know how tough it is. Those of you who can have to keep up the good fight. I had to walk away because of my own circumstances, so I do understand why people do.
Politicians in the US have wet dreams about being able to disarm the populous, as they did you folks
Have you put this in a submission to FirearmsActReform@police.wa.gov.au
?
@@permissiontoshine I get ya. I have too much keeping me in WA as it is (business, family, friends, community, etc.), so leaving is just an empty threat based on frustration. It's hard to sit idly by while more and more autonomy and freedoms are taken from people, while the government abuses its majority power by bullying firearms owners, knowing we have very little public support as it is. Today it's shooters, but tomorrow it's activists, protestors, privacy advocates, etc. Australia has a horrific track record in these areas when compared to other first world, democratic nations, and we're sleepsprinting into authoritarianism. The majority of Australians don't see themselves as free individuals, they think only in terms of what they're allowed to do - and if they upset the government, then they'll be sent to bed early and have their toys taken away. This societal attitude is beyond toxic and self-destructive, and politicians over the last decade have really taken advantage of it... and it scares me on a very deep level to see so little opposition to it.
If I was more forward-thinking when I was younger, I'd have honestly moved stateside by this point. As it stands though, I'm not young enough to start over again, and so all I can do now is educate people on what they have to lose as a result of the political landscape lately, and hope that things turn around. I fear for Australia's future as a 'free' country, because as far as western democratic nations go, we're far closer to the likes of China than we are the USA or Europe. It keeps me up at night sometimes.
Just the thoughts of a West Aussie who remembers what Australia used to be like pre-9/11. Life has only gotten more controlled, monitored, expensive, and bleak since, although you could say that about the rest of the world. With all these laws enacted for our 'safety', rates of depression, hopelessness and anxiety sure have skyrocketed - at some point people need to ask themselves where the line should be drawn, because if the point of life is to reach a state of free contentedness and purpose, then a bubble-wrapped society causes far more harm than its goals are trying to stamp out.
As a shooter myself, good luck if you think you’re going to get any support at all from the average Aussie, especially from the younger crowd who live in more and more urban environments or from the huge numbers of of immigrants coming into this country. What you’re doing here is just so far removed from what the “average Australian” is these days you may as well be living on Mars to them. Unfortunately, what we enjoy doing is seen as thing of the past or a fringe interest to most people. Australia is in a state of rapid change.
I'm not gonna lie, the thumbnail of the video kinda made me believe this was some kind of VR hunting game and I was really excited for it.
It appears to be unreal to me for some reason.

I'm canadian indigenous, from a family of avid hunters and sport shooters, and I gotta say, for my first time seeing your stuff, your efficiency when culling large groups on your own is honestly really impressive, and I 1000% understand your frustration towards the firearms law changes amd general stupidity of it, it seems that even when we have license and purchase systems that are safe, politicians, even ones from our own parties and voting blocks, just find new ways to complain, fear monger, and make the laws even more restrictive towards us when they dont need to be.
Look, I'm not going to pretend I know anything about Australia's gun laws. I'm from the US and pro-gun. From what I've passively gathered, China has a lot of your politicians on their payroll. Idk how true that is there but since Biden definitely is the US has gone straight to hell. Anyway, maybe bought politicians is where to start solving the gun law problem.
They need to be more strict to further control you
@@chriscanterbury8647to control who?
@@cowboybowfishingoutdoors5013 The population that they supposedly answer to. No human being has the right to tell another human being what they can and cannot possess, especially governmental entities, when they are nothing more than a group of humans that "own" military installations and weapons of every type, themselves.
The minority in Canada that demands more restrictive gun control legislation (poly etc.) are a smaller minority than the people who have a licence in Canada. There are about 2.2m of us. I honestly think the average Canadian doesn’t even think nor care about gun control. Of course if you put some scary propaganda pictures of “assault style” firearms in front of them and then ask they might have an opinion (see the 2020 ban where the mini 14 silhouette was shown with a tactical stock in government literature in order to make it more scary)
During the 2020 ban we were told over and over AND OVER that the AR15 is not suitable for hunting. Specifically mentioning that “you don’t need an AR15 to take down a deer”. Well guess what, this January there is to be a deer cull in BC, I think on Vancouver island. American contractors will be dispatching deer from helicopters with Ar15s with prohibited high capacity magazines and prohibited muzzle devices. You can’t make this chit up 😂

In South Africa we have a lot of these rifles many have been converted from .303 to 6mm. This is how al of them function. One can get pretty fast with it.
@@THEDOOD32 The other issue is ammunition. They deprive their citizens of good ammunition. Your rifle will not function correctly without the correct ammo. I go through many brands of ammo before I'm 100% satisfied with the function of my rifle. Some of my rifles only work perfectly when I reload the ammo myself. Unfortunately, ammo manufacturers are not worried about perfect loads and tolerances. They are just in the ballpark. In the Australian outback, they don't have the luxury of testing every brand out there or every load out there that functions and shoots best. In the USA we are spoiled. That rifle is known to jam even when you reload the ammo yourself.

Excellent job Jack, sadly there are too many people who have no idea the damage that introduced / pest animals have in the Australian ecosystem. they think poor animal why cull them , yet they never consider the impact on or loss of native species endemic to small areas, having grown up on National parks in north Queensland and having been taught about the aspects of conservation and animal management I can truly back your work here.
Wow, you grew up on national parks in Northern Queensland. That must have been amazing.
@@permissiontoshine It was certainly an interesting time as my Father was the senior ranger for 3 of the different national parks that he was in control of in my lifetime before he retired, the first one was west of Rockhampton in central Queensland called Blackdown tablelands national park, the second one was a park north west of Mackay called Eungella national park then the final one was not lived on by us but he managed as senior ranger was north of Bowen called Cape Upstart national park as well as some other parks in the area around the Whitsundays and Bowen. with the first 2 national parks having been live on as the senior ranger we didn't get to go to many places on school holidays as he had to work so was a really boring place to live as children, apart from the occasional slideshow or spotlight walk with tourists during the holidays

I'm from a sleepy town in Mid-Missouri, USA and I am a gun owner/enthusiast. We have the invasive issue with feral hogs here and we host a many encouraged hunts to cull the population. It's wild to hear how strict gun laws are across the pond, anyone above the age of 18-21 that doesn't have a violent background can purchase and own as many legal firearms as they choose. I'm an avid outdoorsman and I never camp without my shotgun and .22, there are too many variables between fauna and shady people. I try to stay strapped everywhere I go.
Hey I’m in the kc area, are y’all ever looking for more people to help with the hogs? I’m licensed to hunt and cary and I run thermal
Oh cool, I'm from Mid MO aswell. LoZ area.
I’m in Kansas, I’m interested as well.
Where i am from there is basically no violent crime, wild animals also arent a problem. To even own a gun here you have to be atleast 18, have no criminal record, pass a psychological and medical examination, complete firearms safety and handling course +having an justifiable reason for owning one(sport shooting, hunting, self defence..)
Having remove myself from Missouri in 2016, I was never able to purchase a legal firearm there, they said I could not pass the back ground, moving to Colorado, had no problems, No I never had a domestic or a felony!!!

But i mean back in the day itnwas wild there would he a huge herd youd jusy try to get as many as you could. For how they had no semi automatics its wild they got so close to sending them extinct. It was teddy roosebelt that protected them at the end he was an avid hunter and didnt want them to go extinct canr hunt them if they go extinct after all
Sniper's a good job mate, challenging work, outdoors and I bet u never go angry
This is literally live action The hunter call of the wild.
This man's skill and mustache is legendary.
I couldn't agree more with you. Great video showing what its really like farming sustainably & managing the land. I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work.
good work Jack, they are an introduced animal and are in pest numbers,
I know some stations herd them up and export them to Saudi Arabia.
i am glad to hear your getting a replacement rifle as well, this one has issues, with the mag feed , as you pointed out.
I hope the replacement isnt too far off, and the one you have can be fixed.
Jeez that bloody AIA makes a mockery of the legendary Lee Enfield reliability.
What a pain!
I used to have a Lee Enfield .303 SMLE No.1 Mk 3 passed down from my Father and that thing was hard to jam, even when you tried.
Crocodile dundee has had enough
This could be a video game. The FPV, the movements, the constant shooting.
9:46 that was hard core as fuck! We need to get you an AR10 or an FAL brother, you’re killing it out there!
Working with that equipment is impressive and still getting the job done
You are doing a great job with the tools given.
The way this man shoots with that rifle and then camels better watch out when he gets a new one
Love that smell a territory car gets when the dust gets in and the moisture makes it all Manky…
This is interesting to see, love your commentary while running and shooting. And oddly enough, the humor you add when dealing with downed critters.
I'll admit, it's odd seeing camels as invasive creatures, sort of like how wild hogs are that way in the states, but good to see people are keeping things in check.
Additionally, hope things go well for the firearms reform in your country. Considering the wild shit that exists in your country in nature alone, I figured every home aught to have an RPG on standby just in case.
now that would be a better option for sure, lol
This is why it’s important for us Americans not to take our rights fore granted.
You have good rights, just kind of…..crazy people
@@byohen1752theres way more crazy people outside usa compared to in usa. Outside usa most everyone looks to the government as their slave master whome resolves all problems. And when its not that its the taliban and even worse shit man so wtf are you talking about. Crazy people exist everywhere. Usa has more guns than people. The extreme vast majority never had to shoot anyone yet theyre not crazy
Very cool to see the old Enfield in action. So much history in the old war horses and they just keep on going.
Edit: just realized it's an AIA, still cool.
thats one of the newest
its an no4 mk2 i think so its the last model and also this stupid arsesportarised it
i thought it was some self made gun it looked so bad@@lachsnacken5901
@@lachsnacken5901you're the ashore whose never carried for hours and hours in the heat
I didn’t think that was a .303 cartridge and the mag is different
Dude is out here playing far cry 2 irl
It’s a shame you can’t have a recoil operated semiautomatic. I’m assuming your government won’t let people have them. Thank god for the second amendment here in the US
Give these people their gun rights back
Unfortunately history proves there is only one way to get them back once taken.
What rights? We never had the right to firearm ownership. It's a privilege to own firearms in this country and licensed firearm owners know that and respect that. Not everyone should be allowed to own firearms, there's plenty of cookers out there.
Yeah, nah. We're not seppoes. The last thing we want or need is American gun culture. We don't view guns as some sort of fetish or totemic object, they're just tools.
@@hoilst265 You are a silly fool.
We have always been a prisoner colony, prisoners don't get to defend themselves.
As an Arkansan. A citizen of Arkansas in the United States, I am deeply sorry that you can not have a better firearm.
In any other state, he'd be eligible for an AR, but in Western Australia, ALL category D firearms are restricted for government use only. It's absolutely bullshit, but bullshit laws seem to be the rule with these west coast states...
As an Australian citizen, it is not that hard to obtain a brand new firearm capable of the round throughput he requires. Especially if you have permission to shoot on a property as this guy would. Semi-autos are even available for contract shooters and primary producers. He lacks either enough money or sufficient time to arrange one (yes we have waiting periods but they aren't excessive - 7 days in my state, sounds like longer in his, he doesn't say). In my opinion, it's unethical to head out there with a potentially defective firearm that could malfunction when he needs it the most, such as if he made a bad shot and leaves an animal wounded but can't follow up with a mercy shot. The way he shit talks deer hunters or roo shooters saying "this is a different game" - it's all kind of faux militaristic but he's shooting camels that stand and stare. If you're culling and it's unpleasant, why film it and make glorifying remarks about what you're doing, but then clothe it as a opinion piece about the firearm laws in your state. It just looks like a cover to blast a bunch of camels and put in on youtube. Or think of it this way - who in their right mind would think this video will positively sway public opinion in favour of firearm laws, jesus. I'd prefer he just said "I have fun blasting camels" or "I shoot camels for both fun and as a means to preserve my monetary return on my agricultural property".
Just guessing here, but this guy is probs ex or wannabe military who seeks recognition for what he sees as a tactical-adjacent activity. Not a lot else to do out in country WA I guess.
@@sebastionbach Just as someone from WA myself, our wait times for new firearms can be literal months due to the 'license the firearm not the shooter' system, and we have no semi-auto centrefires available for private use - catgeory D is for government and military only, which is ridiculous. WA easily has the worst, most nonsensical firearms laws in the entire country, and they're likely to get even worse. Australia doesn't have a gun problem, and introducing even more restrictions is pointless.
@@sebastionbachidk man it sounds to me like you have all these restrictions in place that i dont. can you order ammo online without waiting for approval or begging for permission? Csn you order .50 bmg armor piercing incindiary tracers like i can? You got hollow points or frangibles? How restricted is your ammo? I can buy a browning design m2 slr from ohio ordinance. To me I think that would he great for camel control. Put it on your diesel toyota for keeping china from comi- i mean camels. Camel control
@sebastionbach you clearly have no clue camels are an invasive species you ever seen what a camel does to a car or even a road train doing 100 I have done camel control before nearly every hunting rifle is useless for large mobs they aren't designed for continuous shooting most semi autos available for professional shooters in aus that are suitable for camel control will start jamming after you pump a full mag through
Good work Jack. I have just seen you latest video and submitted a comment re firearms regulations proposed changes. If the WA govt played their part and culled feral animals on crown lands, much of the work burden and cost that you and others in the farming and pastoral industry would be greatly reduced. Your conservation work should be encouraged, not made more difficult.
Very, VERY GOOD POINT.
I have not seen malfunctions like that and as consistent as that ever. I just left the army after 15 years and 4 operational deployments. I have never seen a weapon system jam like that, that often. Crazy. Love the channel ❤️
Great job. Clearing malfunctions and staying accurate isn’t easy while moving.
@Jack out the back i think the springs in your magazines have gone tired probabaly because they're so old, try taking the springs out and streching them(make them longer), reinstall and see if your lee enfield feeds better then? also try lubricating the inside of your mags and rifle mechanism also. good shooting btw, cheers!
Hey jack i saw u asking about rifles and optics.ruger and mossberg both make quality scout rifle systems that are magazine fed. Burris makes a really nice long eye relief scope that is reasonable priced. Good luck,shoot straight,if you cant,carry lots of ammo
Agree, I enjoy my Ruger Scout (with scout scope too, the way Col Cooper intended.) I believe Savage also makes one.
Good job on that mob and agree with your comments regarding proposed changes to legislation, have also signed petition for extending consultation period, rejoined SSAA and joined Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party of WA so that some rational thought can be brought to the table that can benefit licensed and responsible firearms owners and allow farmers to farm in an increasingly difficult environment.
Hated to see you struggle loading that rifle. This is why we fight so hard in US to keep the government at bay when it comes to our guns. Good job either way
Love that you can hear the hit. Phenomenal work brother
This feels like I’m watching a war crime lmaoo
Every time you got jammed I went “OH NO RIMLOCK!
Can someone get this man some new mags and whatever parts he needs? Holy shit bro.
Austrailia is a shithole man good luck importing guns there. All our guns are illegal there. Im technically a war criminal in this one place in europe because of their ammunition laws theyre like "that special ammo right there is a war crime" do i care? No. Theyre hollow points. I can easily buy .50bmg armor piercing incindary tracers in the mail so frankly then flipping out over hollow points its a big over reaction considering where i live at the sportsmans retail establishments there is consumer grade plastic explosives its like man theres plenty of things im buying they couldve called a war crime. It just makes me cool over there in europe they say "damn jean jackets and explosive bullets?" Its wild how in west europe if i tell them im starting a private militia they want to call it war crime but the farther you go to east europe theyre like "which gun do you want"
Australia laws
Old mate is clearing malfunctions like it's a Far Cry game ❤️
Blowing my mind as a canadian, you ran after them that long and hardly broke a sweat. I assume that was an AIA .308? I thought they were decent guns. Didn't know camels were a problem there. Great work, man, and good on checking they're all expired. Do you do anything with them, or are they just left for other animal's?
plus it was likely also 35+ degrees while he was doing it.
Gday Jack
As a 45 yr involvement in firearm sports in WA has drawn to a close for me , now in QLD I can offer you a workable solution to your rifl6woes. Go to a tikka t3cx action with a 20 inch barrel and mate it with a MDT or similar chassis system. Totally configurable to your needs and gets rid of any bedding issues you are having with your tikka heating up in the factory stock. Optic option is a 1 to 4 variable short barrel scope. With the above set up use MDT maps, double stack them and twill have a spectacularly accurate, reliable set up which will make chopper and ground shooting all the much easier. And yes I have studied the Wa Legisand act back to front. I gave up trying because of the divided approach WA had. Too late now to try and be united the horse has bolted. And you have a majority govt that will fi as it likes. The big effort has been left too late I am afraid
We need action not a defeatist attitude!
Man, as a hunter and first time viewer, when I saw how many boxes of ammo you took, I almost stopped watching right there. I get it now. 😀
My condolences on the stupid firearms laws, which from what I hear, has done nothing to protect anyone. Over here in canada it’s heading that way with new laws being passed in some pretty sketchy ways, and new rules being quietly slipped in. We’re fighting them in court, and trying to fight in the public opinion field as well.
There hasn’t been another mass shooting since the gun laws came into affect, so yes, they did help hundreds of people, maybe thousands.
@@xylemrays671 That is absolutely ludicrous! 😂. First of all, the statement "maybe thousands" clearly shows you have no clue, and you really aren’t worth my time to talk to. I’ll throw the second point out anyway though. Go check the violent crime/murder stats pre and post. You’ll maybe see a little dip for a year, maybe 2, then it’ll clime right back up.
I think you had roughly the same laws as we do in Canada, and there is zero evidence to support taking away legally purchased guns, from law abiding citizens. In canada there are 3 times more murders with blunt objects, amd if you take away gang crime, almost everything in the world kills more people than guns. And the gang guns are over 93% smuggled or manufactured illegally.
More people die from seafood, get injured by moose, walking down the street, etc etc etc….. if you look at the mass murder from drugs, or car accidents, amd don’t want massive changes, then you’re a total hypocrite
@@xylemrays671I suppose all of the gang bangers in TO don’t count?
@@xylemrays671there hasn't been a mass shooting in Switzerland and they all have fully automatic rifles lol. Gun laws literally do not have an effect on gun crime. Most "mass shootings" in the US are committed by black people using illegal guns. Just a fact, it's not racist It just do be like that sometimes.
@xylemrays671 but how many crimes that would have been averted by an armed, law abiding citizen have you experienced? No one knows, because they are under reported or not at all. It is never a good idea to rely on government for your personal protection.
I just discovered this channel, interesting stuff!
I can sympathize with waiting for the paperwork for a new rifle. I am currently waiting for a licence for a hunting rifle myself, I applied on August 16th, so it has been exactly three months now. The hunting season here in my country (Denmark) is September 1st to January 31st - this means I have today, November 16th, lost half of my first hunting season to the slow bureaucracy of the police.
I hope you will forgive my ignorance, but are you legally limited to a small magazine? It would seem to me that for the type of culling you are doing, you would benefit greatly from something larger.
I wish you luck. Many people here in the US take our rights for granted and don't realize how easily we could lose them. From one hunter to another I hope you can get your rifle and have a good hunting season this year.
Waiting nearly a year here for the same in the UK. Heard rumours of a 3 year waiting list... all I can say is, I sincerely hope not lol.
Most magazines and applicable licences are limited to 10 rounds here
In WA we can use mags over 10, they’re just not super common for the AIA/Enfield/Parker Hale pattern actions.
The main issue is that because some states limit them to 10 on their license, customs will only release them to people with a AG permit which can be a hell of a lot of hastle.
Thank you for not letting those animals suffer.
The WA firearms restrictions are completely impractical. This video highlights this.
It must be worth going out on a quad or similar and taking 2 or 3 rifles to cycle through?
Im a "card carrying" paid up member of the sffp and have been for roughly 10 years. If you have any interest in shooting, fishing and farming then you are wasting your vote by not getting behind them in your state.
Australia having a camel infestation is honestly one of the most bizarre things i swear
Brits took them to Australia bcz there werent road or railways inlan’s country !!!
Worse problems to have for them useful animals.
I wholeheartedly agree with every word you've uttered, however we need to be clear in our definitions and open our eyes to the big picture.
Firstly, it's not the labour party in its historical sense, it's a socialist party and its long term multi generational goal is total control of every aspect of society. That total control is gained bit by bit, year on years and all in the name of the greater good and if you speak against it you're a radical, a reactionary, a racist, or a homophobe and you get vetoed on social media. Every attempt to change the law or the constitution is supported by violent rallies and protests to intimidate normal people into accepting what they're being told to do. Remember the mob rallies and abuse we got when we were told "go with the vibe" and "if you vote no you're a racist" or when essential workers lost their jobs because they didn't get a jab or wear a mask. It's happening in WA it's happening in Qld and it's almost totally complete in Vic. Wake up Australia there's a lot more at stake here than wearing a mask.
lmao you need to lay off whatever you're smoking mate. Labor isn't a socialist party at all.
Womp womp
Gosh as a Canadian, who's been involved with the American and Canadian firearms industry, I'm always somewhat amazed at the complexities and insanely stupid laws and restrictions in all countries including Australia.
If you still have this rifle, you should put some kind of block in the front of the mag. Contour the top to make sure feed control stays positive.
Great work mate.
Yeah the old wa gov doesn't understand that a lot of us cull more than we hunt. We do it under a normal firearms licence as a corperate licence doesn't offer anything extra other than cost. No cat d unless you are gov.
I run a ruger scout, verney carron, rem700 all in 308 and getting my 375 replaced with a zastava currently (as you mentioned long process in wa). All that i use for different camel culling in different circumstances.
I also cull a number of other pests, with firearms set up for different circumstances, limiting to 5 will just mean the wrong tools will be used for the wrong jobs or some jobs cant be done humanly or effectively. While the criminals will continue to break the law.
jesus what can't you clear with all that?

@@tls7053 Well there's your problem. You're trying to cull rabbits with a gun. Do i even need to discuss on why that's probably not going to work? Are you unaware of other rabbit culling methods?
Mate, I'm not going to get in a contest with you. I provide the service my customers,farmers or pet food processor require or specify. Hence the tools I need. Been in the game a while mate, I know the options.
*VERY LONG COMMENT WARNING & APOLOGY* 🤣Great video Jack. Wow, the country is looking beautiful around you! Having lived and worked out your way and beyond for a decade (3 decades ago), your videos make me long for home. It felt more like home out there then anywhere else I've lived, even though I'm an inner-inner city girl. But I wildly digress.
THANKYOU for showing and telling it how it is. I can only but imagine some of the commentary you might receive from the peanut gallery of ideologues from elsewhere. Most people outside of Australia have NO IDEA what a problem and how destructive introduced species like camels cause in the outback. If you care a hoot about the environment you would support and understand the importance of culling. Humans are the ones who've caused all of the environmental imbalance and destruction. It is our duty to put that right.
To save further embarrassment I'm splitting my comment up🤣🤣🤣
I’m interested in your tikka comment, I use tikka action both for hunting rifle that sees 200+ round range trips for practice and for competition rifle that I recently ran twice per stage for 250 rounds in a morning, with 20-24 rounds per stage back to back. I have never had a swelling issue on my tikkas and am very surprised to hear it!
Great video!
My Tikka doesn’t ever malfunction.
Looks like he’s using ppu ammo I’ve seen that shit choke a marlin 30-30 and other guns that I’ve never seen having problems before. Tikka is on that list that had issues
shoot crappy ammo get crappy results... my tikka actions don't swell but hey what do i know just a few thousand round trough them thus far....
Totally agree, this is a classic example of letting any government have total control. 😢😢😢
Savage model 10 and model 110 are very cheap here in the USA. are very accurate and pretty much indestructible. My model 110fp i bought in 2000, ive put 2000 rounds through the pipe and still have tooling marks throughout the bore, the first time i shot it, i put 80 rounds downrange in the first day and 120 the second day. And i was loading up and shooting each box as fast as i could cycle the bolt and reload till i knocked off each box and i had to walk 200 feet total to get the next box. That was the cool down period at which time id do a fast bore punch and swab then try to burn another box of 20 as fast as i could. I had also put a ceramic coating on that needed baked in tu cure it. It's a 30-06 and my shoulder just went numb. But i did carry that bruising for a month and a half. It is a heavier barrel than than a sporter but it is not the 1 inch barrel like the old M-40 i was issued when i was a Marine and i don't have as good of optics that that goat had, but i can stalk and hunt all the deer that I'm allowed in Nebraska and my rounds hit where the cross hair is settled on, and most of my kills are within 300 meters at most, i don't like risky shots, but most are usually less than 100 meters. But at the range i can still group a 5 inch pattern at 1000 meters, im not the same level of health as i was in 2000. I was 25 when I got this iron. But at the range, i usually shoot at 600 meters the majority of the time. My groups are a bit tighter there than 1000. And i don't get out to practice as much as i did earlier in my life, and shooting is a diminishing skill.
Savage 10/110 use to be very cheap here in USA ! Now they aren’t! The axis is cheap and even it is priced higher than 10/110 use to be
I really wish I could send you an AR10. Really interesting video. The Go Pro run & gun and finishing shots were something out of a game. Im an American from North Carolina and I never heard of this camel problem in Oz. Best of luck man.

Given that a lot of your shooting is at 50m on big targets would you be better off to use a smaller red dot and stripper clips for reloading? Or does the 308 conversion not allow for stripper clips?

People do not understand the checks that legit shooters go through to get the tools they need. Also culling is WAY different to hunting and if hunting wasn't even possible here the Greens have no idea as to the amount of damage pest animals can do. There is a serious disconnect between honest shooters and the general public. People do not understand. I'm in the Country Fire Service in SA and people in the city simply do not understand what we do. At work, and my family still in the city i get told "your a volunteer you can just not go". My reply is "next time you drive out there, i'll just not rock up". The look of disbelief that no one would come is palpable.
People don't understand that land can only support so many animals. Pest animals put natural species under serious threat. You walk up and head shot a camel, rabbit, fox, goat etc and everyone goes nuts. Shooters have lost the PR war in this country since 1996 and there is no way to get it back that I can see. I hate it, have voted for so many years against it and nothing changes. We just get railroaded again and again. We have lost and it's just a case of trying to keep what we have now and it's all going
