Houseplant Posted August 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Wallaby and yes, back legs and back straps are in the fridge. I'll give anything a go once. Regardless, it is a non-native pest species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 I think they often have cheap kangaroo meat in Australia near you House plant. Very lean protein that’s real cheap. I remember the lads over there into bodybuilding would be eating it all the time cos it was basically all protein and cheaper than most stuff. Let us know how you cook it and how it comes out.

Houseplant Posted August 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 It's cool isn't it 🙂 Never thought I'd buy a single shot break action, but there you go! Rifle length is 80cm, barrel is 16.5 inch. The suppressor is an over-barrel version designed for rifles like this, it adds an additional 9.5cm to the length, so overall length is just under 90cm. Heavy little beast though! Subsonic 300BLK gives more or less identical performance to .308 subsonic and the recoil is undetectable. My slight disappointment is that it's noisier than expected. No sonic boom obviously, but the muzzle blast is pretty loud, even with the suppressor. I've been told that it can be made significantly quieter with the additional two more baffles on the suppressor, but still weighing up that option as I want to keep the rifle as short as possible.

It is a model I don't recognise, mind my Encores are getting on a bit now.

Walker570 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Almost a direct copy of the Encore on the outside anyway. Bergara make some tidy rifles. Can you buy a range of barrels for it ? That is the 375JDJ barrel by the way. Direct opposite of the Blackout. It kicks worse than a mule.

Houseplant Posted August 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 I don't think the barrels are user changeable, but could be wrong. Nice hog 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseplant Posted August 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Slow cooked wallaby tagine for dinner tonight. It was very good. If I didn't know better, I would have said it was beef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
