    I happily use my HMR alongside bulls on the farm I shoot, and my 17 Hornet, the new HMR I have has a Hardies and it's useless compared the the gunworks I had on the previous HMR or the DPT I have on my 17 Hornet. For $100 I'd be putting an end of barrel Gunworks suppressor on, I put a lot of rounds thru it and never cleaned it. The DPT on the Hornet is very quiet but the baffles are delicate nearly stuffed the first one after 3-400 rounds. Will need to get a SS replacement baffle.

    Two of these today. This one and another sixty ferry up the tree. Three moved onto the trees around my house a week ago, the third one was last seen going over the ridge one kilometre away.

    They learn quick.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I spent an hour at the airport this morning, got 1 Spurwing Plover and 3 Rabbits. I was in a rush to get on with the rest of my work so just fed them all to the pig when I got back home. Sunrise was nice. Name:  sunrise.jpg

    Pesky magpies have figured out that I'm the reason their numbers are diminishing. They now will not come within 50 meters of the house, so popping them out of the kitchen window is a thing of the past.

    On the upside, I can now dial my scope when shooting them, and use the rangefinder. (gotta make the most of the toys when I can only get out in the paddocks)

    Tonight I thought I would shoot one through the fence just to add a bit more of a challenge. 83M headshot.

    CZ455 .22LR. CCI Subsonic

    Lost count of how many rabbits I've nailed here.
    Marlin 22mag makes short work though
