I love the newer 6.8 Western! It's Winchester's updated .270 WSM and in a short action! 6.8 Western is hitting magnum numbers in foot pounds of energy on target too! It's hitting 17% harder at 500 yards then the 6.5 PRC and 34% harder then the 6.5 Creedmore! A lot of people laughed at the 6.8 Western including me saying why its just another .270 well that was when the 6.5 PRC came out with the new round deal with the new 1:8 twist, heavier projectiles, more powder in the casing the 6.8 Western keeps up with the 7m. Rem Mag at longer ranges but in a short action and that's what a lot of shooters are going for they already have their magnums for hunting out West here in the states. I fricking love your 300 Norma mag build, my buddies have the 375 Cheytec like you had, my buddies dad is pretty serious. Good shooting as always!!!
Nice video. Hand loads and some guns like a particular flavour of bullet. I've found speer 150gn spbt to work very well in all my 30 cal guns even my Ruger precision in 308 like them and I can shoot coke cans at 250-300 meteors all day long makes a good hunting rifle for long distance head shots
Thanks for posting!! Appreciate the time and effort it takes to post these videos I purchased a Lithgow LA102 laminated 6 months ago and also at the same time I purchased a Sako trg a1 both in 6.5 creedmoor, I do home load and the Lithgow out shoots the trg for accuracy and I have now sold the trg about 3 weeks ago as I wasn't using it as much as the Lithgow This is the first Lithgow that I have owned , I have been a Sako user for years Lithgow have a winner with this gun if only they could promote it as well as Sako do in the UK it would do fantastic
Thanks for the feedback Chris 👍🏼 I’m stoked you are enjoying the LA102 so much. Lithgow did a fantastic job with their rifle that’s for sure. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the other videos on the channel. Feel free to share with your mates too. It helps a lot
The la102 with hand loads will easily do 0.1mrad/0.3moa out to the transonic zone in any of the cartridges tuned to the rifle. If you change to a better stock or chassis and add a break, I’ve had them out to 1k easily, 1 mile with a spotter and further depending on the cartridge. (2 km is the farthest I have a safe back stop for in my area.) I’ve not managed that with any of my friends factory rifles. In a similar condition. The tikka was close but they just don’t hold up as well over time in my opinion, they end up feeling loose not smooth. I’ve shot a lithgow action in different rebarelled chambering’s, 7WSM, 300wm and 6.5prc. The action still felt superb and with not much modification except the rebarrel and a bolt face milling to the appropriate diameter (308 bolt face is the largest factory offering from lithgow.) and a bolt stop channel milled, where as tikka is able to be a factory rifle in Magnums and long action. Lithgow may very well produce other chambering’s one day.
Excellent test mate. I have to admit i expected the tikka to win this followed by the Lithgow then the fix. All 3 are great rifles though. Time for a super test 2 soon I would say.
you sir, have earned yourself a subscriber. I have paid for a Weatherby Meateater special in 6.5cm 5 months ago, no window on when its arriving thinking of paying a little more and getting the lithgow woomera instead.
Chris thank you for subscribing! I bought myself a Woomera after making this video and it’s a tackdriver. Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy watching the other videos on the channel. Thanks 👍🏼
This was a really well done comparison, and I've watched a lot of them. Instantly subbed and it's good to see an Aussie being swarmed by flies that's not me 😂 ...but now I've gotta buy a Lithgow.
Thanks GIBBO AuS, I’m stoked that you enjoyed the video and I appreciate the support. Thanks for subscribing and I hope you enjoy the other videos on the channel 👍🏼
Great demo bro ! I've been really wanting a Lithgow 6.5 creedmoor for some time now , at first I was looking at getting the la105 woomera. But only yesterday I was talked out of it from a gun store The la 102 will still be able to get me into the game of range shooting, and at that price ill be able to spend more on a scope ! Seems like a good way to go This vid has definitely helped me make a decision! Cheers mate ... keep up the good work !🤘
I have the La102 in 223 with l am sure you will not be disappointed, with very cheap factory ammo (Geco) 3 touching at 100metres its me that lets the rifle down
Great video mate. I had my brother let me know about your channel and I've binge watched all the videos now. Being ex-army myself, I do miss the service rifle competition shoots and I like the looks of the PRS. Could you please tee up a video for those of us looking to get into the discipline, covering off basics like what you need, calibre recommendations, rifle types etc? Taking this video for example, you'd look seriously at 6.5Creed and looking at the rifles you'd think you've got two precision rifles and a hunting rig but the results aren't necessarily what you'd expect. Keep up the great content.
G’day Peter, I’m stoked that you are enjoying the channel. Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion for a video on getting into PRS competitions. That is something that I WILL do very soon. Please feel free to share the link to my channel with your mates and anyone you think would be interested. Thanks again and enjoy the channel 👍🏼
Loved your video, and I did share it. The Fix gets a lot of positive publicity, and likely because it is a very light and easy to carry hunting rifle that comes from one of the US's best silencer manufacturers. It is a nice rifle but it is also nice to see it face competition in the accuracy stakes from Finland and Australia. This competition will see the three companies improve their products, and that's great news for hunter and shooter! Love seeing the Lithgow do so well in particular, and I will buy one. Thank you, again!
I've started subscribing thanks to this information. I prefer the Lithgow only based on price, I'm a budget shooter. I'd rather spend money on a good scope and I already have the Lithgow in 308. And nice hat by the way, I'm sure Jay appreciates the advertising hahaha.
Excellent vid mate but wouldve liked the LA 105 in the mix as a better comparison to the chassis. Ive just put in paperwork for a woomera 105. Its machining is top notch and can't wait to get out past 800 yards with it. 👍
The la102 in a chassis is fantastic and I’ve taken the .223 out to 1km , the .243 and 308 out to 1mile and the 6.5 out to 2km. The extra 2” and thicker barrel of the 105 looks appealing but the price tag put me off. I needed up putting the 102 in a MDT lss-xl gen 2 and also tried the ESS which was great. I’ve tried a couple of Boyds stocks and a grind has one in a carbon stock that is awsome.
Great video! Just building up a Tac ... maybe need a Lithgow in the safe now too ! Probably just need to work on myself behind the tool ! Subscribed & looking forward to ya what you have coming up : )
Just came across your channel. Not sure why your channel hasn't been recommended till now. Just watched this video, loved it. I had one question, how and where did you modify that la102 stock for cheek pad?
Thanks for watching mate. I hope you enjoy the other videos on the channel as well. I used a Victory Company cheek riser kit to modify the LA102 stock. I got it from Australian Tactical Precision in the ACT through their online store.
G’day Bradley, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I was using 140gr HPBT Hornady American Gunner ammo for the test and it was averaging about 2680fps in the LA102. It’s pretty mild but it is accurate and cycles through the rifle easily. The brass is good for reloading as well. I was out shooting this last weekend and my mate had his LA102 in 6.5 Creed and he was shooting to 1000m without trouble
@@TheLongGunProject sweet as mate I have a browning ab3 in 6.5creed and I shot it out 1000m also but I'm looking to upgrade and I like the fact that the la102 is oz made
G'day Brad, the cheek riser for the Lithgow is made by a company called Victor Company. It has modules that can be stacked underneath the top skin to achieve the desired height. I'm pretty sure I got mine from Australian Tactical Precision from memory.

I think the 102 did a very admirable job considering both chassis rifles were fitted with brakes and shot off an Atlas.
Nice work Lithgow 👍
Sick video, amazing to see the Australian mad rifle preform the best 🤙🏻

Great comparison video, nicely done. I run a Tac A1 myself. Highly recommended
Great test and review 👌😊👍
I just purchased a 102 in 6.5 with walnut stock.
Pretty confident in my choice.
Iam sure the lithgow would improve also with hand loads.
The la102 with hand loads will easily do 0.1mrad/0.3moa out to the transonic zone in any of the cartridges tuned to the rifle.
If you change to a better stock or chassis and add a break, I’ve had them out to 1k easily, 1 mile with a spotter and further depending on the cartridge. (2 km is the farthest I have a safe back stop for in my area.)

Love it!! LA105 would have been a fairer comparison than the LA102? Or blown the others out of the water?!
We hopefully have another comparison lined up for the LA105 a little later!
I can bring my la105 if needed 🙂
@@TheLongGunProject When do we expect to see this review?
Gr8 video buddy awesome to see your view on the Lithgow. Cheers Andy
great vid, where would you have picked up that cheek rest on Lithgow, about to pick up the same rifle.
That cheek rest is made by Victory Company. I got mine the Australia Tactical Precision if I remember correctly

Got the LA102 Lithgow in 308 - Awesome rifle
hell yer you can buy the lithgow with that scope ( scope worth over $4000 ) for the same price as the Q fix bare. Bargin for the lithgow. lol

Lithgows for the win ;-)
Your not a bad short for a young fella!!
I try mate!!
Next time try the LA105 Woomera. they are absolutely amazing. Maybe do a comparison with ANY 6.5.
rowan the next episode I will be comparing the Woomera LA105 against a very expensive European precision rifle. Stay tuned!
what did you use for the cheek riser on the lithgow. Is it homemade or is there factory one available for it.
G'day Brad, the cheek riser for the Lithgow is made by a company called Victor Company. It has modules that can be stacked underneath the top skin to achieve the desired height. I'm pretty sure I got mine from Australian Tactical Precision from memory.
What cheek rest did you use on the LA102
SquigglyCarton8 the cheek rest I used was from Victory Company and uses a stackable system to allow you to achieve the right height.
The Long Gun Project cheers mate!
