As the Australian outback heats up, I come across a group of camels, a sign that the summer camel migration is underway. With many more camel tracks around the station, it's crucial to keep their numbers in check. In this video, I discuss the impending camel invasion and ask for your advice on the best firearms and optics for the job.
Equipped with my reliable Australian International Arms M10-B1 7.62, I take action to protect our valuable resources and prevent camels from competing with our livestock for feed and water. Join me in this crucial mission to maintain the delicate balance of the outback ecosystem. Share your thoughts in the comments below on how we can effectively manage this challenge. - Zábava
I appreciate an old rifle as much as the next bloke, but there is no way i would call that rifle reliable. Those were some serious feeding issues.
Yep 100% that rifle would give me the shits.
I heard that said also and rolled my eyes!
I have since 1978 been a professional hunting guide with work in Alaska offering Brown bear hunts & Yukon Moose hunts.
If I had such a garbage rifle as that 303 I would be dead today.
I build to sell custom rifles and my AR 10s do not get handed over to the buyer into they have been shot repeatedly to check functioning.
Even my AR 10 rifles in the WSM magnum chambers do not fail.
My own AR 10 I hunt with is chambered in 375-300WSM and all the bugs are worked out so as fast as you can stand to pull the trigger it cycles those Hugh 375-300WSM cartridges,
@@Lure-Bensonthat’s not a 303 it a 308 made by a company called AIA they were built copying the no4 action, I’ve used Enfield rifles for years never had issues like that, never used a AIA so not sure what’s going with his rifle
@@vasilisouris4853 You need to take a closer look at the PPU loaded ammo because those aren't 308-win ammo.
Those are long round nose bullets and even the 303 cartridge is apparent from the rim and tapered case.
If you want to insist those are 308 cartridges from your gun experiences from playing video war games have at it.
😂😂 hell I have issues with my new ones ... But old guns hold up to a good beating.... Theses new ones will break at the plastic stock ot shake so hard the optic fudges up 😂😂
I admire your stamina in that heat and your calm demeanour with all those feeding issues but hell I feel myself trying to catch my breath watching your videos to the point I think I’m going to have a heart attack lolol
As a Scottish guy who's just found your channel I would add my tuppence worth to the scope input. I've done a few European driven boar days with Swaro Z6i 1-6x24 or 2-12x50 if there was a chance of a night in a high seat afterwards. You can bang the red dot up to be daylight visible or not more than a glimmer at night. It has withstood hundreds of rounds of 7x64 and never given an ounce of trouble. It has loads of eye relief. It is spendy but it will last a long time and Swarovski stand behind their products superbly well with warranty claims. I think the little 1-6x24 would do you well as a daytime sight without adding a great deal of weight or volume to your rig. Any-ho that's just my humble opinion. Great videos, great work, regards from Scotland.
Love you videos Jack. This has to be one of your best 👍 I know you got a south-west connection but I'd always had your Pinned as a Queenslander until today. You still sound like a Kiweenslander but you're lifting my spirits with your story mate 😊 Well done 👍
Love your videos Jack, just stumbled upon your channel. It's quite pleasant to listen to all your information and see your daily living. As a fellow hunter I'd recommend Kite K6 series, It's alot of optics for the price.I've beaten and drag my scope through the woods of Sweden on moose hunts in thick vegetation and some wildboar hunt for a few years now and it has really lived up to the task. the crosshairs are really crisp with a red dot and the scope it self isn't that heavy. Sorry for any misspelling
Keep up the good work your doing 🤠
Great bit of action Jack. Wish I could help out with some of that. Still waiting on my 308 Ruger Scout with Burris Veracity to come from the shop...
Great video Jack.
Thanks for rifle description
Great to see the old Lee Enfield is still one of the best rifles ever produced in use.
Love your work Jack . Thanks for taking the time to do these clips . Are cats a problem over there as well?
Cats are all over Australia these days doing so much damage. They can survive some of the harshest places.
Check out the Cat Man of Australia.
Great work Jack, def ex army by the way you were camo stalking your targets 👍🏻
fantastic shots mate
Have you considered representing Australia in the Olympic marathon?
Hi from South Africa Jack. I do like your rifle and as you say its a bit of an Aussie icon. I am a fan of 30cal. rifles and all my rifles are Military surplus. FN/FAL, Mauser 7x57mm, Israeli Mauser in 7.62 NATO, P14 303BR, Chinese SKS in 7.62 Russian. Soon to have an AK47. We don't have a camel problem out here but for general hunting and shooting of like size game, all the above are adequate, like you channel mate, have a watched a large number of them and slowly working through them. Keep it up, you are doing a styling job, you and your guys.
You need to do some maintenance on the rifle, it should not miss feed like that, I take itnthat it's a. 308 /7.62mm.
For optics , 2-7 x40mm will get you out to 200m, with good accuracy, buy a good brand scope, as cheaper scopes the point of aim can alter as you increase magnification.
Good work mate. I'm sure you've been asked this but have you tried the howa 20 inch varmint in 308? With the .30 cal hole, it's not heavy. Add a couple of 10 shot Mamba mags and a Burris 2.5-10 power scope, it is easy to run with. Much easier than my old Enfield anyway. the pigs still complain but I don't.
I believe he has a new rifle coming and another in the shop for repairs. This is the backup. And to prove a point that WA needs better gun laws for pest control.
Looking forward to your next aviation segment on the Ventura…
Tbh from what I can see from where I’m at majority of that rifles issues are ammo creeping forward in the magazine causing poor feeding. New magazines and some File work on the feed ramp would clear that all up. And drop the spire points and switch to a heavier round nose projectile, it will take up free space in the front of the magazine
After watching some of your videos I kinda wish we had a camel crisis here in Canada lol.
Yeah I'm tentative to file the feed ramp, but I have ID'd it as a problem.
New magazines for this platform are tricky here, being an M1a/M14 type. I'll take them apart and see what I can do.
Yep, round nose would feed a lot better.
Some tweaking of the feed lips to change the presentation can help a lot to. The answer isn't always feed ramp.
My old .22 pistol has no feed ramp. The magazine feed lips control the cartridge presentation. That was a good learning experience. I don't file lips, just bend them.
A great display of fitness and commitment there, but the point of a rifle (IMHO) is to let the bullet do the legwork! That's not just about the choice of rifle, optic and ammo, but also about the support. When you don't have a handy camel to rest on, you could do worse than having a set of carbon-fibre quad sticks to hand. Very little weight, rock steady shooting, and fine to trot along with - though once you've got a set you won't have to cover so much ground! Keep the great videos coming!
Going good there Jack.
🤣🤣 wicked mo, bit of a Ned Flanders look going there 🤣🤣🤣
More like super Mario LOL
I swear I didn’t know they had camels in Australia!
10:00 he tripped you up lol. Good videos keep up the hard work.
Well spotted! You are the first to pick it! Would you like a Jack Out The Back hat?
@@jack_out_the_back lol I noticed that little trip as well. Was concerned your rifle had gotten full of sand. I actually thought that camel might kick you when you fired from your position right behind him. I'm in the US and just found your channel. It looks like the 7.62/308 is doing just fine on the camels. I thought the Springfield M1A SOCOM in 308 would be nice for this type of shooting but it may be a tad heavier than your AIA. I use the Vortex Crossfire II Scout 2-7x32 on mine for Coyotes here in Colorado. Another scope I use is the Leupold VX -Freedom 1.5-4x28mm Scout. Enjoyed the video.
That AIA has lot of issues my guy.
The easy button for you would be this I think
T3x ctr, 20 inch model, 308.
Trijicon tr25 1-6x24
Atlasworx ctr to aics bottom metal and a wack of 12 rd mags from MDT.
Also consider trialing a belt setup with a few aics mag pouches a dump pouch for the empties and a pouch for water bottle.. Space for 1-2L of water plus say 40rds, and maybe spare pouch for whatever else..
Loving the videos Jack wish I could get out there and give you a hand, as for something I'd carry out there...probably a Ruger rancher .308 with the magpul 10 Pmags and an eotech sight, or a wedgetail .308 10 pump with the same sight then swap over to thermal for night hunting.
Hi Jack I like the 100 mile an hour tape holding the barrel into the stock it must be a station trick
I had a leaver action 44mag held together with fencing wire
Great video
G'day Jack, Great work with these vidios showing the reality of farm life. What brand of red dot is that please' cheers, Butch.
G'day Butch, I'm running a Vortex Crossfire (CF-RD2) so 2 MOA
It's the Chace/Helicopter configuration.
I own a 303 and a 30-06, my bolt on the 303 is just as sticky, but also only when puting that many rounds through it at one time. 30-06 on the other hand a different kettle of fish
Your certainly ruffling the feathers of the "professionals".... keep it up. They sound like vegans, always have to tell you they are professionals. The AIA has certainly it's fair share of work, after the new one turns up, maybe see about giving the AIA a bit of love.
Aussies allowed their government to take away their right to bear arms and this is a clear example of how giving in to a corrupt government will affect your live forever. 😢😢
Dumbo
Like a real life video game watching you run
Well said and wise comments, I have had heat stroke working remote, body temp was 40.5, I was well hydrated, the water has to be cold to reduce body temp.
Hits you very quick, first thing that happened was legs lost strength, then collapsed.
Your AIA 308 is a good choice, accurate enough for camels, with high volume shooting recoil is manageable, unlike 300Win after 20 shots quickly you would
of had enough, I would carry two rifles both bolt action 10 shot mag, 308(volume shooting) & 300Win(500m shots) both with medium varmint profile barrels 22mm at muzzel for extra weight 24", 150grn SP 2800 fps, this load would shoot flat enough to 350m, buy a quality scope(leupold standard duplex recticle or mi dot) and mounts(steel) 3-14, or fixed 6x(308), a scout Leupold Pig Plex(1-4) would be good, better than a Red Dot.
Mates have been helicopter shooters back in the BTEC days, L1AI did not standard up to heavy use and was worn out/unreliable after 5K shots,
the pick was Springfield M1A. Test your ammo at 100/200/300m for drop, you will be surprised how quicky 180grn factory 308 drop after 200m.
I have cull shot donks & horse but no camel experience.
As a custom rifle builder and since 1978 a professional Alaskan hunting guide you make the same ignorant mistake as all others who are ignorant about firearms.
Accuracy isn't made by the cartridge and the 308 isn't any more accurate than any other cartridges.
It takes quality made barrels - ridged actions - quality machining to make barrels and precises made actions to get accuracy.
It also takes quality bullets - brass - primers and types of powders that make good accuracy or bad accuracy.
For example, people like you with about zero experiences in quality guns and ammo like to say the 7.62x39 Cartridge is a bad accurate cartridge but when fired from rifles like the CZ carbine or the Ruger bolt rifle or from one of my AR 15s using a Pac Nor super match barrel the 7.62x39 cartridge becomes accurate to win shooting matches.
Another cartridge if talked about by ignorant fools like you who would call it an inaccurate bad cartridge would be the 6.5x50 Jap but I am chambering Pac Nor super match barrels in 6.5x50 Jap for the AR 10 that if I ever shot in a match shoot I would either win the match or be in the top shooters.
With factory Norma or PPU ammunition my AR 10s I chambered in 6.5x50 jap can easy shoot at 200 yards 1/4 inch groups.
Another factor in accuracy is High end chamber reamer I get from Pacific Tool & Guage.
Using one of the AR 10s in a 300 WSM or 325 WSM on those Camels would be total hell on them!
The AR 10 - 20 round magazine holds 9 WSM magnum cartridges.
When hunting with my own AR 10 in 375 - 300 WSM magnum I am loading 6 cartridges in a 20-round magazine and that is way more than needed with the 375 - 300 WSM is an identical match to the 375 H&H magnums for power.
@@Lure-Bensonfuck me, then it's true, everything is bigger and better in 'merca, even the replies
@@Lure-Benson I think you are the one who is ignorant about what is being done here, it is culling, it is about numbers, no one is using match rifles with custom reamers, or shooting WSM cartridges. Most culling is done with a 308 because it does the job and is relatively cheap to run when you are shooting hundreds of animals per day not guiding hunters to one animal a day.
@@ntdanny Well Ghee what else you want to tell me I already know this is culling not hunting and not guiding!
If you knew anything about actual firearms not what you learned from playing those Video war games - you would know something about reloading ammunition that is cheaper than buying loaded ammo.
with you Not having any at all hands-on experiences with firearms I have to tell you those Camels far out there looking back at the sounds of shooting they would be dead meat using a well-made rifle in 7 mm WSM - 300 WSM - 325 WSM - 7 mm Rem mag - 7 mm RUM - 300 RUM - 300 Wby mag - 338 win mag would be lights out on any Camel.
Not only I am a professional hunting guide from back in 1978 I also build and sell custom rifles and have my own line to sell of AR 10 uppers in WSM chamberings and wildcat cartridges for the AR 10.
Also, for in the US today's ammunition prices don't differ from Magnum cartridge to standard non magnum cartridges proving again you have Zero experiences with firearms.
I just seen at a Cabalas store PPU 8 mm Mauser & PPU 308 ammo side by side on the shelf per box was $42.00 the Box of Hornaday 300-win mag ammo was $35.00 so tell me again how non magnum ammo is cheaper than magnum ammo.
@@Lure-BensonSuch superb in depth knowledge should be treasured, along with the game management, knowledge etc wisdom around pest control so prevalent among guides. The few exceptions do earn respect, incidentally.
However if being cheap, nasty but effective
find out what the professional pest control workers who are well experienced & effective use, and what they'd buy again. And who their favourite gunsmiths are.
Might need to be diplomatic how to get that information, as many will have all sorts of fun providing information to those that haven't earned respect.
Awesome cardio mate. Was the issue feed or extraction? Sometimes the chambers can develop a little bit of surface rust and when the shell expands that tiny bit it gets stuck.
Interesting to see vermin shooting in this environment, so different from personal experience. For orientation, laminated hard copy topo map is useful when mis-mothered & needing to think it out. A quality brand compass isn't affected by cloud cover or flat batteries/electronic failure or satellite scrambling. They fit around the neck on a string & stay there. A compact EPIRB kept on the body with backup attachment (it's no good in a bag etc that has been put down, or getting accidentally unclipped off the belt somewhere else, real incidents that happened) is good insurance.
A 4x scope is good for any range. Used them from bailed pigs to tahr/chamois at 3-400m & more. Vari's do help with sniping and scanning/detail if it's a very good quality one. Training the brain to shoot with other eyes open is the trick. MIght need to squint depending on which eye is dominant. quality mounts are essential, & usually use conetrol if possible. They'll deal direct, & are very helpful.
Only exception to the 4x was aerial shooting, found the aimpoint dot faster. Helped on tahr it seemed, they bounce about a bit & there can be a lot happening at once. Very different to what the Aussie situation seems to be, would probably be comfortable with the 4x.
A telescopic monopod (can be carried in a pouch on the belt) might help. Offhand shooting when puffing is difficult, & it provides a rest. Needs to be about armpit height (length extended). A bipod is better, 2 12mm poles chin height hinged together 75mm from the end.
Both more portable than the sports store versions. They'd give you another 50m range, which could save a lot of running around used effectively.
I reckon a steyr scout and a scout scope would work well out there you get a ten mag for them too
The old back leg at 9.50 😂
Great video Jack, for a scope 2-7 OR 3-9 would be my choice and go quality. In your environment Japanese or European forget cheaper options.
From the time I was a little boy my elders and I have used Leupold scopes then Leupold got nasty with me at the factory so then I start looking for another brand of scopes then I bought really cost wise cheap the Sig buck master scopes 3 of them then to my surprise all of them are holding up very well.
I haven't put any of them on a large magnum rifle but on AR 10s in 308 - 6.5-284 Norma -6mm - 284 win they work fine so far.
Nice work some good skills.
Howa 1500, 10 shot mags, timber stock. 2-7 Leupold, or Vortex. Have a few of them, there cheap enough, when barrel is gone buy a new barreled action.
Have you thought about getting a scope camera setup so that the viewers can see what you are seeing down the scope?
excellent video
9:00’im worried you won’t be able to find your Ute
20:42 phew 👍🏽😊
Having cowboyed on the west coast of the USA your problems are completely different enjoy seeing what a day in your life
In Canada we plow snow as part of of farming. Totally different where you are.............a lot more stressful for sure
Mate I’m exhausted watching you run
Good work, bet you cant wait for the MPR , should feed a bit better than the old AIA 😁😁👍👍
She's reliable!! And does the job! Took out a few donkeys today 😂
Beauty 😁😁
@@jack_out_the_backreliable as in you can rely on it to give you a hard time? 😂
@@jack_out_the_backhow in hell can you call that PoS reliable?, with a decent rifle/scope combo you wouldn’t need to be chasing wounded animals around like that 🤦🏼
adjust the front wings of your mags should improve the feeding problems you have.
M1A grand/M-14 they take a licking and keep on ticking! Can be extremely accurate!
Yeah they would be great out here! But we aren't allowed semi-automatic centerfire rifles in Western Australia because there is no "genuine need" for them.
Stay hydrated you should use a camel back hydration system. Haha.
Some of those jobbies were painted green so maybe a coat of leaf green and green tape would have it run cooler.
Have you thought about a low magnification prism sight, halfway house between a red dot and a normal scope.
Yeah the eye relief is all set too short, mainly made for flat top rifles. I have one sitting on the shelf 😥
Now youve gotta walk aaaall the way back!😆💪💪🍺🍺👍
what calibre are you using Jack for Camels ?
We have problems with wild hogs here in Missouri, USA. Could imagine something as big as a camel.
Due to the size of your quarry alone, I would use my Ruger M-77 .338 Winchester Magnum initially. If that proved to be overkill, I'd switch to the Weatherby Vanguard .30-'06. For optics on hunting rifles, I usually go with a variable power scope. The rifles I mentioned have a 3 -9X and a 4 - 12 power Redfield respectively.
They also banned .338 here because they said there was nothing big enough to justify it! Effectively they banned everything over a 30 cal (I think a 338WM is still allowed though)
I am a fan of my 3-9x optics
Loving this channel. You're where it's REAL.!! I can't help but think that you'd do well with a quality off road electric scooter to keep with you in the ute. I'm not sure if that's appropriate or valid but it would save your energy and breath for when it's time to shoot. It'd help you run down those things much easier, cover more ground more quickly and silently. Not sure about charging facilities out there. I've just put a 3-18×56 sfp Meopta on my Howa .270. That'd be great on your thing I'd think. You'd be right on camels out to 250m with .308 I'd say. Cheers
Jack how often do you clean your rifle and mags? L1A1 SLR 7.62x51 nato round❤.👍🏴
The rifle gets cleaned weekly.
The magazine with the rust on it probably dodged a clean or 5.
I wish I could have the L1A1, we aren't allowed semi automatic centerfire rifles in Western Australia.
The feed issues are magazine related, the rounds slip just a bit forward with the recoil and catch, with FMJ's it would feed better, but the soft points are more effective.
@@jack_out_the_back Jack you need to slip in some shim material into the front of the mag and fold the bottom of the shim under the feed spring to stop it moving.
Have you thought about using a bi-pod so that you don't have to bend down and back up? Conserves your energy.
Are those mags originals for that rifle? Just a thought..would a lee enfield mag work?
I've not seen you do it and it may not always be possible to do but do you try to pick up your brass when out shooting?
303 that we have has a ten round mag but is sloped.Stilll shoots. Just a question here in South Africa we pic up our casings for reloading purposes. Do you reload or just use factory ammo
This is an Australian international arms M10B which is modelled off the Enfield, but it takes the M14/M1a magazines as it's chambered in 7.62NATO
I don't reload my ammo anymore.
@@jack_out_the_backlack of primers or powder availability?
How does the Triton go out there? Any issues?
The camel had the last laugh on that one 9:51
does anyone know what's done with the camels? Are they just left out there?
Do you ever worry about stepping on a snake running out there
For sure ! Sometimes I trip over mine !
Given this is culling and not hunting there is no way possible to have other shooters in? Maybe a pay to come type setup. Or do you reckon that will just make more work for you. ?
Can you get a savage 110 scout out there?
Would a Tikka 223 be powerful enough Jack.Thats what i have?
A second person with a drone for spotting and herding them back to you?
All that running - I'd be trashed in half the time....
What type rifle and caliber are you shooting?
Chrome lined barrels serve only one reason is to prevent corrosion from firing ammo with corrosive primers.
Chrome lined barrels won't last any longer than Chrome moly barrels and Stainless-steel barrels exceed the life of Chrome lined and Chrome moly barrels.
When I am building AR 10s or bolt rifles to sell, I use stainless steel super match barrels from Pac Nor barrel company.
I am currently working on a Weatherby V 5 that is getting a New Pac Nor supper match 27 inch SS barrel with 1-10 Polygonal rifling then back to being chambered in 300 Weatherby mag..
love your work, is there any reason you choose an empty chamber over using the safety or is it just personal preference
I assume it's for legal reasons. Australia is crazy with it's laws
@@JasonBrinkley-ef4zgThe safety on the lee enfield action has a couple of issues, & the half bolt position isn't secure like a mauser. But they work in dirty/sandy conditions when the mauser will stick.
Could be, like me and many other Aussies, we grew up with an empty chamber Is safe.
It cant accidentally fire no matter what happens.
A safety catch is, "it Should be ok" but there is no guarantee it wont fire.
No matter how good the factory safety is, I Never use one. I just dont trust it with my or other's life.
Open bolt, lever etc or visibly checked empty chamber.
Based.
9:53 I'm guessing it was at this point you wished you sidestepped a yard or two away from the camels legs! I was very worried you'd get a barrel obstruction when that happened! I know it's WA but no one there, possibly even WAPOL, want you suddenly downgrade to a blunderbuss unwillingly!
Cant it be done in winter?
I bet the wedge tail eagles 🦅 are bloody huge
We need scope cam footage
Because of your laws being so.. ugh.. probably leaning towards a Merkel or Blaser in .308 to start. Are switch barrels kosher? 1-4x for close and 4-16x for long in good QD mounts.
I like my r93. It's an old tactical and too heavy to run with though. Too much glass also. I'm a spoiled American so I have many for niche jobs instead of few utility rifles. Hope it gets better for all of us.
Cheers.
Hi mate just came across the vid where abouts is the property and how big you need a bike
It's big enough that the bike would run out of fuel getting to where I was. It's roughly 1 million acres
man... that rifle is clapped out. Hopefully Australians can get some freedom coming down the pipeline soon, so this man can get what he needs.
Do the camels you shoot stay where they are shot or are they taken somewhere?
Anyone remember Nigel mansel ? This guy looks just like him with that tash, it’s not the same with sight camera just dude shooting trees
Looks like it would be very easy to become disoriented during a shoot?
Oh and a Gen3 trigger stick
Been hunting and shooting for over 50 yrs, did over 22 yrs Army. Sory i should have put that info in my last comment. Ta Ian
That junker rifle is so frustrating. Shame you can't get something that actually works.
Do you pick up the brass
what are the shells
I assume u wouldn't have a problem with a free rifle no matter the caliber...after all its shot placement not the caliber that counts...and if u have the proper optics ull obtain the shot placement placement
On the off chance you see this, what do you use to record?

Good to see the old Enfield 303 still doing service.

Be nice if you can have a AR15 in a 308 be a very good tool for job our a sks
Like watching "camel of duty"
Hey Jack. Not familiar with your Ausi calibres but a 308 Winchester or 30-06 would be my choices. I’ve been watching your videos and see a real feed problem with your clips. I would try adjusting the lips on the clip or even buying a new clip if possible. The front of the bullet is jamming into the feed ramp it seems. The front of the case (bullet) isn’t going high in the clip to feed properly. Any gunsmiths or handyman/rifle buff around to look at it? The would make me crazy if my rifle had that problem. Good hunting.

@@user-ec3om5bk5d yes they were still making them not long ago. I remember eyeing them up wanting one in 7.62x39 back when surplus was more available up here in Canada.

Get a magnifier for your red dot. They don’t need to be zeroed to work and can work as a good monocular if needed obviously long range is easier with magnification. Much love from America glad to have found your channel 👌
I had strongly considered the magnifier, especially since I have the 2moa dot, but I went over to the full optic for the extra reach

308
Ok I thought it was a 30.-06
