Wolf Creek is a 2005 Australian horror film co-written and directed by Greg McLean and focuses three backpackers who find themselves held captive in the Australian outback by Mick Taylor (John Jarratt), a sadistic serial killer. The film's screenplay was based somewhat on the true stories of serial killer Ivan Milat and the murder of Peter Falconio and the assault of his girlfriend Joanne Lees. A feature film sequel was released in 2013, and a television web series premiered on Stan in 2016.
The following weapons were used in the film Wolf Creek:
Rifles
Remington Model 541
Mick Taylor (John Jarratt) carries as one of his primary weapons what appears to be a vintage Remington 541 or 581 rimfire rifle chambered in .22LR. It is used by Mick to terrorize his victims and later briefly by Liz (Cassandra Magrath). Coincidentally, the 541 was discontinued in 1999, when the film takes place.
Tikka 595
Mick Taylor's long-range sniper rifle seen during the infamous road scene appears to be a Tikka 595 in .308 caliber. It is not the Remington seen earlier, noted by the stock and magazine, and the impressive distance the shot is fired from. It seems Mick uses a .22 to toy with victims but a more serious sniper rifle for hunting victims. Its appearance is quite accurate for the film; Tikkas are popular in Australia, along with Sakos.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
Mick also uses a Double Barreled Shotgun of unknown make and model in the film. It is never seen closely enough to identify.
