    10X40 Kahles binos are sharp enough in the detail and colour to see the Rabbits in the open . . . with the 8-32X56 NXS Nightforce on top of the Tikka i can see them in the shadows of the brush if i take my time & really look. Always amazes me how good the human eye/brain is good at seeing a fimiliar shape then the detail, the black dots of the eyes or ears, the head shape, body shape then recognition . . . gotcha moment.

    you gotta have good glass . . . and a good RangeFinder, when my Leica 1200 RF batteries ran low and wouldnt read at distance consistently i went to my backup Nikon 1200 which i always keep in my truck, had real problems getting a reading at 600, had to use brush close by as a target sometimes.

    Well the battle of the Starlings is still going, this guy was just about suicidal flew down and sat on the antenna about 10m away and just sat there looking at me.

    42 grams of #3 with a fullchoke at 20 meters. The cat was dead set on looking at the rabbit hole and didn't notice me stalk up on it in the middle of a paddock

    i was thinking ( as ya do ) while walking thru the hills yesterday evening how much i enjoy the Ruger No.1, its got great lines, build quality is very good & the whole singleshot thing is kinda special. . . this one will put bullets on top of each other with no recoil & at 4,010fps its a spectacular killer with the 32grn. VMax
    if you get a chance get one.

    Back in the mid-90s I visited family in Canada. Had never met them before, so was well pleased to discover they were also genetically programmed to hunt and fish and drink brown beer. And most of them were bald too.

    One of the relatives by marriage was an older bloke called Ted, probably in his 60s then, only time I ever met him. He had a safe room full of... only Ruger No. 1s. I can’t remember the number - forty? - but every calibre and cartridge they’d ever been manufactured in pretty much. It was the first time I’d ever come across the No. 1. It was really something, and he shot them too, often. He was really into the big bores. He had some really beautiful examples, and some properly beaten up hunters too.

    Have absolutely no idea what happened to him or his collection, so will try find out by asking a cuzzie.
