As for the rifle in the film

I've not seen the film yet, but if he is hunting a Tasmanian Tiger (the museum example being the size of a dog) why does he need a .308 Winchester ?

 

[Biker]

) ... why does he need a .308 Winchester ?

Radiation form the Chernobyl powerplant disaster of '86 mutated the tiger into the size of a Rhinosaurus (not to be confused with the more domesticated and smaller Rhinoceros) thus the winchester was the only logical choice of knock downer, it was that or a Challenger Tank and that wasn't that good in a wooded environment.

Hope this answers your question.

On an aside I was most impressed with the scenery of Tazmania. I didn't know what to expect really, desert I suppose but to see dense forests and mountains wasn't high on my expectations.
I also wondered if in reality a proficient hunter say in the US or Canada could go to some place like that and still be an expert. Surely the local flora and fauna would trip him up eventually? Yes his basic skills would see him through but if he's not used to poisonous insect local to the region he's just as likely to fall foul to them as any of us dropped into such a place. Looks like Willem's character did do his research I give him that

Enjoyable film and I'm glad the link I posted prevously helpedothers enjoy it too. At the same website I got that from it's also showing The Grey, as well as many other new and old films.

Here's the website. http://www.1channel.ch/ Hope this doesn't break any forum rules with the mods here. If so, edit my posting accordingly. Thanks.

0.308" Winchester is a nice balanced round, accurate, well understood, flexible, easy to find around the world, firearms in that calibre are easily available as well as cleaning and maintainance parts.

Don't forget that the Hunter is also carrying it as defence and to feed himself with. It makes an all round usable calibre.

Well done treefrog, great piece of detective work..:You_Rock_


Good review link too,thanks..... I agree with southey, that is one S-WEEEEEEEEET pack..At just over 3 kg it's as heavy as the PLCE bergen, yet much smaller, built to last & go anywhere


You're brilliant, guys.:notworthy

Yep have fired .308 quite a bit, I just thought it was overkill for Tasmania
