    Love the picture of the Ruru. We have one at home that has become remarkably comfortable with our comings and goings through his patch, to the point where he will come and sit in the light to watch us, and our silly dogs. In the summer he likes to activate the security lights, so the big fat moths arrive and he can catch a feed. Clever bugger.

    Took the new rifle out to sight in today, and got a little time to hunt bunnies afterwards. Most were a bit too far for me (150m+) but this one was silly enough to let me walk within about 60m to take a standing shot.

    I had a chilly wander around the apple orchard last night with the 17hmr with the Pard NV008 scope fitted......it was eye poppingly effective!

    Nice mate, My longest kill shot on a lapwing with a 22 sub is 146 yards, dialed 11.75 MOA from a 75 yard zero. Its a lot of fun shooting long with 22 subs, but for effectiveness of pest control i now prefer to use the 17hmr or 17 hornet (property dependent) as kills at these ranges are all but guaranteed due to the flatter trajectory and way less windage error.

    No pictures but 2 more magpies down and put out for the hawks to clean up. I always put them a long way away from our chicken and duck runs though.

    Yeah Phil North Island possums. 223 Xbolt blows them to pieces pretty good.
