Local Guns & Ammunition in Hobart TAS

What type of firearm is suitable for me?

When selecting firearms, it is just as important to consider your needs as well as the economics of owning a gun. If you want to find out what is the best option for you, read on.

• Firstly, identify your needs. This is the intention you may have filled out when applying for your gun licence. If hunting birds or small game, you’ll most likely be looking at low calibre rifles. For larger animals, a higher calibre rifle is most likely required to down the target.
• Consider the manufacturer. Choose a name that has been around for a while and has demonstrated experience of what works.
• Next, look at the calibre of the gun. Factors to consider are recoil, size and ballistics.
• Also take into account the comfort, mass and price of the gun. Keep in mind that higher quality guns tend to hold their value, while cheaper guns run the risk of failure at important moments.
