Another great video Stu. Thanks for taking the time to share your gear. Beautiful scenery as always. Keep staying safe and keep after the pigs! I wish you the best
Thank you Stu, I really appreciate your practical down to earth honesty, you have proven to me that there is absolutely no need to spend thousands of $$$ to go hunting and be deadly accurate. I love your videos mate.
Thanks mate pleased you liked the clip. I appreciate the support mate. Small world hey St Ives butchery yes ha. One of my african heads is in his shop, an impala I shot years ago.
@@HuntingwithStu Save your time and go to tacmedaustralia.com.au, get an emergency bleed kit with TQ, gloves and Israel bandage. then through the snake bandage in and you're set.
Save yourself some money, for about 8 bucks from chemist warehouse you can pick up a snake bandage with compression indicators. Use sticks from the scrub to splint.
I can remember in 1984 my neighbour buying a 30 30 model 94 out of the a m l f (now part of elders)catalogue for 150$ which is still going and I bought a 6:5 carcano for 39$ ammo was 12$ a 100 the agent drop it off in Holden 1 tonner on his agg delivery round; had 22 rifles among the goods and 2500 various rounds ,It just the way it was! (I have not got the 6;5 should brought model 94). And Thanks for the vids
Good stuff bloke! You keep it simple and look at the results you get from the mid range stuff you use! I reckon the hat would look good with your LOGO on it too! I also noticed the bungie light on the Suzuki !! Lol Cheers from Penrith 🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🐖🐖🐖🐖🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing Stu, great overview of your gear and some sage advice! Looks like you live in a beautiful area mate, well done setting yourself up there 👍🏼
Hi Stu, thanks for a look at your hunting kit, and good advise based on actual using it in the bush . The saying ,all the gear and no idea rings true in alot of cases, fancy kit catches more people than it does game,lol, but that's good because it keeps the shelves full of nearly new, s/h guns for us more savvy buyer's. Looking forward to your next video, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
I have a Sako 85 Bavarian in 30-06 with a Zeiss 3-15x50. Absolutely love it, and it fits me like it was hand built specifically for me, but being that I tend to hunt in Florida brush, somehow an old 1976 Marlin 336 in .35 Remington is my favorite companion.
My primary rifle i use 99% of the time is a stainless weatherby chambered 30-06. Here in Florida we have a saying that goes "If you don't like the weather, give 15 minutes it'll change". So if i get rained on i only have to put a drop of oil on the scope ring screws so they don't rust.
Thanks for posting this. I wondered why you favoured a lever action shotgun rather than a semi or a pump. They seem to work well though. Been looking at an Adler myself just recently.
Fantastic video your love the honest down to earth advice, I went out and brought expensive gear and I bet you killed more game than I will see in my life. lol keep you the good work.
Thanks for the feedback mate. Quality gear is a must but sometimes quality comes from years of trustworthy use. I do like new flash stuff but I just can't justify upgrading when they are still on song.
Great video mate thanks for sharing, And your right about to many guns and if you don't use them all. I'm looking into selling a few of my guns back. I'm heading for a hunt in October for a couple of weeks just to get away from all the crap that's going on in Sydney.
These videos show how much it comes down to the talent of the person shooting, not the gun or the ammo or the camo. The fancy guns are like the fancy golf clubs, You can spend as much as you want but it won't help you hit the target or get the ball in the hole!! I knew a guy who was a really good shot, all his mates were always asking him to 'sight their gun in for them' 😆
I have to agree with Stu & the fact that new & flashy isn’t very impressive if it doesn’t fit you well & its not how much it cost or how it looks but how effective your equipment is in your hands! I’ve been hunting in South Georgia USA all my life & i still hunt with the same rifles i have sense i was a kid!
Nice bunch of gear you have there. I have my Win. Model 94 (inherited from my Dad) at the gunsmith right now having Skinner peep sights installed so it will be ready for a Texas hog hunt.
@@HuntingwithStu I was just having fun Stu. I actually was referencing the bush hat you've worn in so many video. Classic Australian headgear! Everyone likes the Aussie bush hat.
Good one, Stu. I try and balance between not enough (too simple) and over the top (tacti-wanker). I do pick what fits and suits me, making sure I get value for money. I swap between centrefires Lee enfield #4 with a #5 barrel, Addeley Precision mount and Bushy 3 - 9X mildot, or a kitted out Remington 7615 with the bells and whistles and a Halo sight on QDs. The shotgun is a Boito Miura with 19" barrels (chose it for the ejectors and single trigger.) They go on the front of the quad (a new Yamaha 350 Grizzly) and I'm working on the rest of my kit as i write. With 90 acres to practice on, I'm having fun fine tuning the package, ready for when the coronahoax is over and the borders re-open. Might see you out there one day. ;-)
@@HuntingwithStu Its a el-cheapo Brazilian made U/O usually available with 28 - 30" or 20" barrels. Mine been customised from a 30" jobby, no chokes and a simple front bead, but I can hit a 1 gallon bottle at 50M with slugs. Short, light and easy to use.
I don’t see many lever action 12 ga. I noticed that the 12ga. Shells are labeled different from ours. I would assume that 27 pellets would be similar to our #4 buckshot .24 caliber diameter. Have a good one from west Tennessee
I had a Sako Finnbear in .270, accurate but a heavy brute. I chopped it in for a Sauer Mod 90 in 7x64 and my shooting a Euro piggies improved no end. If you see a Sauer on a rack somewhere at a price that's right don't pass it by as being a posh puff musket without giving it a heft.
I actually like the look of the Sauer 202 Elegance and got to check one out and I didn't like the feel of it. I was also handed a left handed Sako Hunter 30/06 at the same time and it was just beautiful and half the price.
@@HuntingwithStu I get where you're coming from. I'm not a fan of the modern Sauers. My 90 is a basic grade one and I wouldn't swap it for a modern Lux edition one. Are you guys permitted to buy solids and heavy buck loads on a shotgun licence? Solids are Firearms licence only job over here and a real pain in the ass to get approval for.
Nice kit. Especially that Mauser-styled Ruger. I prefer magazine rifles personally, (or just an old clip-fed military Mauser!) but either way, it's just utter reliability! I wouldn't mind going hunting some day myself, but it's hard to know where to start, when nobody in your family does it.
@@HuntingwithStu QLD, 15 mins south of Brisbane. There doesn't appear to be a place nearby that lets you shoot more than one round per magazine. It's a sad place for shooters.
@@garyevans3421 Actually there are a few differences between the Hawkeye and the MK11. I own examples of both. The main differences are the trigger, and stock configuration.
@@RickNethery I remember when I first saw a stainless steel Ruger rifle. It was the then fairly new Mk2 that I at the time hadn’t looked over. I was shocked that it looked as shiny as Excalibur! It was coupled with the “boat paddle” stock that I thought was terrible looking! I now know that the stock is very popular in Alaska, so I guess it is durable, but I thought the mirror finish would frighten off any thing worth hunting. Later, when they introduced the Hawkeye All Weather, I really liked the looks. The finish was matte and I really wanted one. They were high everywhere I looked so I tried to be tight until I scraped up the scratch and finally ordered one in 308. Man, I just couldn’t get it to group and finally sent it down the road. The funny thing was, before I got the 308 scoped, I ran into a good deal on a new one in 223 as well. After my bad experience with the first, I got cold feet about the 223 and was afraid I would have a second nearly new rifle I would have to sell used, I sold it to a friend and had to learn second hand what a tack driver it turned out to be! 😂
Don't know why you'd want one over there. Just buy a pump Action or semi auto. Adlers are cheap pieces of shit. Nothing but teething issues with them. I've got a straight pull version and it jambs ever 4th or 5th shot
Swipez touch wood, my mates and do have the lever A110s and they’ve never missed a beat 500-700 rounds in! Always thought the straight pulls would be problematic with all that hardware slamming down
The ones that I have seen were .410 imported by century arms. There are some Turkish reproduction versions in the states but not the same features as the Adler. You can however get them in Canada which is strange to me
Great look at your gear, thanks bloke. As a kacky-handed, I thought you would be Browning A Bolt type of guy, but obviously not. You should do the same vid with your rimfire set up for rabbits I shot a rabbit once
Croc sling is a work of art, I wonder if there's a market for those.. - "TOP DEFINITION buy once cry once Term to describe the purchasing of an expensive item, of excellent quality. Implies that the owner will, initially, have reservations or guilt for buying such an expensive item; however, the owner soon realizes they will only have to purchase the item once. Owing to its craftsmanship and durability, the item will have a long lifespan. Bob: "Dude, this iPhone case cost me $200! It's made from Italian leather and handcrafted in Eastern Europe, though..." Frank: "Ouch... Buy once cry once, amiright? by Robert McCall November 10, 2015 "
@@HuntingwithStu I don't know much about crocodile leather but you can purchase alligator skin leather from a number of retailers and craftsmen in the U.S.A. The American Alligator was nearly hunted to extinction until heavy restrictions were imposed during the 1950-60's and their numbers have rebounded incredibly. Many of the products made from their skin is now from farm raised gators but hunting is legal again in many states and we have no shortage of high quality rifle slings made from their hide.
Thanks for the heads up on the gear mate. Any way we can help support your channel ($)other than buying a mug Stu? Would prefer to get the bulk of the coin to you. 😉👍
Yeah mate I’m more of the budget scale I normally use right-handed guns even though I’m a left-handed Shooter It’s hard to find left-handed guns and big calipers
There is so many companies out there to chose from mate. You could probs google non chinese made hunting gear. However, I like Vortex scopes, Swazi clothing for cold climates and often a good light weight fishing shirt makes for a good warm climate top. I use Olight Australia torches and Ruike knives. I just recently received accessories from Stason Smith who do slings, ammo belts etc made in Russia. Top quality stuff.
Leupold is a good scope also, Aimpoint or Docter sight is a very fine red dot also,so much kayaking you do,(fun fact they started with making of submarine periscopes.)
How r u Stu thanks for sharing some of yr gear hunting doesn't have to be expensive it's what u make of it and it's true what u say about spending less u get less spend what yr comfortable with and if it fits it should work and those black hawk 12 gauge rounds are expensive but they are my go to rounds out of my SHS straight pull they are amazing hope u are well from yr neighbors in SA
Good vid. Hey what does the slick kit on the Adler do? Assume it makes it cycle smoother? I did see an Aussie review that said the Adler was fairly clunky to cycle - does the kit help with that?
I have put a slick kit in it mate to smooth out the action. Ignition Custom Engineering (ICE South Australian company) sell kits under $100 bucks to install yourself. I got a gunsmith to do it as they are a series of springs mainly that you replace in the action of the gun.
Good video Stu. Scotty is always telling me what a tight arse you are, so I'll have to reference the part where you say "spend good money on good gear" ;) You forgot to include your 'Rona mask in your kit though. Keep up the good work, Dig.
“All the gear no idea” and “buy once cry once” all good advice Stu. I started out recently with a 3.7kg Lithgow .223 and finding it too heavy to lug round and hold up for a while. Accurate as hell though. Any suggestions? Cheers
I hav a lithgow la102 in 308 and also find it heavy but very accurate .. Went and got a Ruger predator in 233 and love it for a cheap gun.. Tikka t3 lite is a very nice light gun
Another vote here for the Tikka. Their bolt feels like it wants to slide back and forth on its own, and usually very accurate. One can always find a lemon in any brand, but the Tikka is a good bet!
Hi Stu, new to the channel but loving the vids, where’d you get that 3 gun gun case from? Or atleast what brand or custom made? Need to get myself one or two of those for sure, thanks
Quick question for anyone who knows!! The lever action shotgun shown in this video, do they sale them in the US? And if not is it possible to order one and have it sent to the US?
Hey stu I’m having big trouble with my Adler is there anyway I can get it to loosen up as it so hard to use the leaver action any ideas would be appreciate
Give the gunsmiths from Adelaide a call mate. Ignition Custom Engineering (ICE) as they offer a 'slick kit' for approx 90 bucks where you can install it yourself.
Is barrel life expectancy a problem with the passing down of generations and amount rounds you shoot since you hunt and shoot a ton specifically the mark ii ruger?, Thanks Stu
Stu, you should consider doing this as an income, and get yourself a category D license. No reason to limit your shooting capacity with antiquated firearms.
Sorry man but i have to say its not how old your equipment is as long as it works for you. I been hunting with a marlin 3030 most of my life & i have a german mauser K98 8mm that is about 80 years old but it is 1 of the most accurate rifles I’ve ever seen or used & I have shot hundreds of rifles. Its all in what you prefer though. Yes i am a pro-gun, pro-hunting American & i (like stu) enjoy hunting pigs & have for over 30 years now.
I do agree with your comments that Stu could definitely do this professionally as i do. Hunting pigs in southeast USA is what I’ve been doing for about 10 years & hunting in general for over 32 years now.
G’day mate , I really enjoy your channel. Question if I my please , the pigs your taking , what might be the distance ( average ) you use the 30-30 out to. Cheers mate Thank you , Roxbee .
Just out of curiosity...what is the shot size on the 12 gauge cartridges? Here in UK we would use anything from 30gram 4 shot up to 50gram BB for foxes depending on range
Love seeing firearms that are used, i bet they could tell some stories and great legacy items to be passed down
Yes mate these firearms are all used and have plenty of stories if they could talk.
Another great video Stu. Thanks for taking the time to share your gear. Beautiful scenery as always. Keep staying safe and keep after the pigs! I wish you the best
Thanks mate pleased you liked it
I've got a stainless Ruger M77 mark 2 in 3006 and love it , very accurate rifle.
Thank you Stu, I really appreciate your practical down to earth honesty, you have proven to me that there is absolutely no need to spend thousands of $$$ to go hunting and be deadly accurate. I love your videos mate.

Don't use a tourniquet for a snake bite tho, get yourself a compression bandage for that.
Thanks mate and good advice
Use a shot gun for the snake before it bites you
@@HuntingwithStu Save your time and go to tacmedaustralia.com.au, get an emergency bleed kit with TQ, gloves and Israel bandage. then through the snake bandage in and you're set.

Thanks mate yes a 22 would be good as well to the gun collection.
Croc sling is a work of art, I wonder if there's a market for those..

"TOP DEFINITION
buy once cry once
Term to describe the purchasing of an expensive item, of excellent quality. Implies that the owner will, initially, have reservations or guilt for buying such an expensive item; however, the owner soon realizes they will only have to purchase the item once. Owing to its craftsmanship and durability, the item will have a long lifespan.

It is pretty a cool sling hey. Yes that is the definition mate, ha.
@@HuntingwithStu I don't know much about crocodile leather but you can purchase alligator skin leather from a number of retailers and craftsmen in the U.S.A. The American Alligator was nearly hunted to extinction until heavy restrictions were imposed during the 1950-60's and their numbers have rebounded incredibly. Many of the products made from their skin is now from farm raised gators but hunting is legal again in many states and we have no shortage of high quality rifle slings made from their hide.
Good to see you Stu!!!
Thanks mate I'm out actually hunting next weekend so stay tuned.
Great vid mate, I picked up a left handed Sako model 85 hunter in .270 not long ago, it is a bit flash for me
Nice 👍 I am envious mate. The Sako is a quality rifle
Mate those are some beautiful firearms
Thanks mate they do the job
Thanks for the video!! Keep being real!! God Bless!!
Thanks for watching mate.
Some information about shoes types will also be usefull.
Thanks for the heads up on the gear mate.
Any way we can help support your channel ($)other than buying a mug Stu?
Would prefer to get the bulk of the coin to you. 😉👍
Thanks for the support mate, yes I am gonna start up like a limited line of clothing one of these days and probs should look into patreon.
Can you do a review on your 1887 the good and the bad!
I don't have it anymore mate.
@@HuntingwithStu ya kidding. Thoughts on the gun? Im about to buy a lever shotgun...
Some of the best guns I've ever owned have been bought off the used rack.
Once loved are often the best.
Gd job Stu thoroughly enjoyed the vid👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate thanks for watching.
Nice set up mate dose the job that’s for sure
Yes mate they do ok.
Love your vids mate, from NZ
Awesome, thank you!
Legendary old school guns. And yep you only need 3 guns to have fun.
Yes mate.
Couldn’t agree more with buying decent gear.
Another similar saying is ‘buy shit, buy twice’
👍🏻
Correct mate 👍
Love the Adler perfect size 🙂
It is a good gun mate
Hunting with Stu 👍
Yeah mate I’m more of the budget scale I normally use right-handed guns even though I’m a left-handed Shooter It’s hard to find left-handed guns and big calipers
Cool, I used to have a Ruger No1 falling block 375 H&H which is left or right handed to shoot due to the lever.
Hello Stu l like your video!! Greetings from Alaska
What gear do you recommend, for example, clothing, optics, rifle accessories & hunting boots?
(Not Chinese manufactured)
There is so many companies out there to chose from mate. You could probs google non chinese made hunting gear. However, I like Vortex scopes, Swazi clothing for cold climates and often a good light weight fishing shirt makes for a good warm climate top. I use Olight Australia torches and Ruike knives. I just recently received accessories from Stason Smith who do slings, ammo belts etc made in Russia. Top quality stuff.
Leupold is a good scope also, Aimpoint or Docter sight is a very fine red dot also,so much kayaking you do,(fun fact they started with making of submarine periscopes.)
HAHAHA, "You haven't seen it yet..." Thank God we have not seen your TQ yet Stu, make this the only vid we see it Mate!
TQ?
Hunting with Stu tourniquet!
How r u Stu thanks for sharing some of yr gear hunting doesn't have to be expensive it's what u make of it and it's true what u say about spending less u get less spend what yr comfortable with and if it fits it should work and those black hawk 12 gauge rounds are expensive but they are my go to rounds out of my SHS straight pull they are amazing hope u are well from yr neighbors in SA
Thanks for the feedback mate.
That was very good . What do you do as a job ? And do you use earplugs ?
Thanks mate I am a retired army bloke and no ear plugs but we should.
Thanks for getting back to me , you’re a bloody good shot and I love watching your shows..
You've been shooting the 06 since 92 no way changing it is a good idea
Yes mate it is a good rifle.
Good vid. Hey what does the slick kit on the Adler do? Assume it makes it cycle smoother? I did see an Aussie review that said the Adler was fairly clunky to cycle - does the kit help with that?
Yes it helps mate it is a series of springs that you replace the factory ones with. Ignition Custom Engineering make the kits. Tell em Stu sent ya.
Keen on a camel hunt ? I got a place that has them but haven’t got into bow range yet.
Nice one Stu thanks mate, haha you've had the 30.30 since you were 15 ya only 25 now, that's not a long time haha. Seeya Rob
LOL yeah 25 ha.
Should do a 30 30 only hinting video
Good idea mate. I should just take it out on a hunt without the adler or 30/06
@@HuntingwithStu yea mate
Hey mate, just wondering what modifications you had done to the Adler. Thansk
I have put a slick kit in it mate to smooth out the action. Ignition Custom Engineering (ICE South Australian company) sell kits under $100 bucks to install yourself. I got a gunsmith to do it as they are a series of springs mainly that you replace in the action of the gun.
Good video Stu.
Scotty is always telling me what a tight arse you are, so I'll have to reference the part where you say "spend good money on good gear" ;)
You forgot to include your 'Rona mask in your kit though.
Keep up the good work, Dig.
LOL yes mate I will spend it when I see the quality, ha. We need to do another Cape York trip mate.
@@HuntingwithStu if this bloody 'Rona ever pisses off we might get the chance!
“All the gear no idea” and “buy once cry once” all good advice Stu. I started out recently with a 3.7kg Lithgow .223 and finding it too heavy to lug round and hold up for a while. Accurate as hell though. Any suggestions? Cheers
I think Lithgow make a sporterised rifle which is nice and light mate.
I hav a lithgow la102 in 308 and also find it heavy but very accurate .. Went and got a Ruger predator in 233 and love it for a cheap gun.. Tikka t3 lite is a very nice light gun
Another vote here for the Tikka. Their bolt feels like it wants to slide back and forth on its own, and usually very accurate. One can always find a lemon in any brand, but the Tikka is a good bet!
You did a good job at not showing all the gear with crows feet on it!
It’d be great to see that CAT Tourniquet staged ready for use. I shared the video below. Handy advice for hopefully that time that never comes
Add a chest seal and an Israeli type bandage and you’ll be set
Thanks mate
I gotta howa 1500 sporter 308win i love it great rifle wood stock 👌🏽👌🏽 got a thompson centre 223 all weather venturer comfy rifle to
Sounds nice mate.
Hi Stu, new to the channel but loving the vids, where’d you get that 3 gun gun case from? Or atleast what brand or custom made? Need to get myself one or two of those for sure, thanks
Mate I'm not sure as I have had it so long. I think it is a Winchester case. Probs google 3 x gun case?
Quick question for anyone who knows!! The lever action shotgun shown in this video, do they sale them in the US? And if not is it possible to order one and have it sent to the US?
It is a Turkish made A110 Adler mate. You should be able to order one
Hey stu I’m having big trouble with my Adler is there anyway I can get it to loosen up as it so hard to use the leaver action any ideas would be appreciate
Give the gunsmiths from Adelaide a call mate. Ignition Custom Engineering (ICE) as they offer a 'slick kit' for approx 90 bucks where you can install it yourself.
@@HuntingwithStu thanks very much stu
Impressive mate!
Thanks a lot! Pleased you like the clip mate.
Is barrel life expectancy a problem with the passing down of generations and amount rounds you shoot since you hunt and shoot a ton specifically the mark ii ruger?, Thanks Stu
Same barrel since buying it in 1992 mate. I have fired many hundreds of rounds through it but it still shoots well.
Hunting with Stu awesome, thanks for the response Stu keep up the great videos🔥
Nice gear, but no mention of the suzuki! Is it an SJ410, SJ413 or a samurai?
Thanks mate it is a Suzuki Sierra
Thanks for posting Stu
No worries mate
Good vid stu u got some good gear there bud u should post videos of u hunting deers and the buffalo
Thanks mate yes I like to keep the channel just pigs at this stage.
Hunting with Stu yer rito fair enough
Stu, you should consider doing this as an income, and get yourself a category D license. No reason to limit your shooting capacity with antiquated firearms.
Yes mate I should but they still account for a lot of pigs.
Sorry man but i have to say its not how old your equipment is as long as it works for you. I been hunting with a marlin 3030 most of my life & i have a german mauser K98 8mm that is about 80 years old but it is 1 of the most accurate rifles I’ve ever seen or used & I have shot hundreds of rifles. Its all in what you prefer though. Yes i am a pro-gun, pro-hunting American & i (like stu) enjoy hunting pigs & have for over 30 years now.
I do agree with your comments that Stu could definitely do this professionally as i do. Hunting pigs in southeast USA is what I’ve been doing for about 10 years & hunting in general for over 32 years now.
Love that 30/30!
It is pretty cool hey mate
@@HuntingwithStu Oh yes, and that patina adds to your rifle's attractiveness.
G’day mate , I really enjoy your channel.
Question if I my please ,
the pigs your taking , what might be the distance ( average ) you use the 30-30 out to.
Cheers mate
Thank you , Roxbee .
Hi mate, thanks for the ongoing support. I normally shoot the 30/30 from close in and out to approx 100m. Normally shotgun distance mostly.
You better be running 👊🏽
Just out of curiosity...what is the shot size on the 12 gauge cartridges? Here in UK we would use anything from 30gram 4 shot up to 50gram BB for foxes depending on range
Heavier than BBs we call em SGs
