Thread: just Varminting - how far was your longest shot on your last walk

Just yesterday I was out at our local range practicing with my 308 at 200 and 400 yds targets.It was getting on in the afternoon and the rabbits started to appear on the hill side behind the target area.I ranged a couple of rabbits from our 110yd bench.Around 200 yds they were enjoying the sun slightly up the hill.Scope was already on 100yd zero,so just placed the cross hairs on the top of the rabbits back and squeezed of the trigger quietly,woow the rabbit exploded,hmm this is fun.So thru the binos I found another,same again about 240yds,nailed him.Shot about 4 more rabbits out to 250yds.Using my strelok app on my phone and range finder all was working well.
Gave the tika barrel a cooling down for 20 minuts while watching more rabbits.Found one at 320yds so dialled up4.5moa,all over the hill was bits of rabbits.So the hawks will get a good feed on their evening patrol.
Belmont 150gr ssts worked well on the dialing up stats on strelok app.Must have seen 200 more rabbits as the sun was setting on the mountain top as I was driving the 1.5ks out the paddocks to the road.Rabbits tame as kittens till you fire the 1st shot but they don't run far.Well theres a wee story I do about once a fortnight.308 v rabbits.They got no chance.
