I think their curfew is up as they have all been boozing at the sika show.;)
49 roos tonight, just got in 30 mins ago, so lots of stumbling around hillsides in the dark. :thumbsup: Good fun, but now to pay the pain tax. :O_O:
First rabbit of daylight saving just now. Was changing a shittty nappy, happened to look out the window to see a rabbit running across the paddock. Fresh nappy on, hmr out and loaded and bang, fresh dinner for the border collie.
Living in the country rocks :)

Last day of September and only shot 24 magpies.:) Traps haven't been used this month as they are elsewhere after feral cats.

One was 170:P
Shit close range!
Got one of these annoying squarkers today. Attachment 41111
Went to the Taupo range today and sighted in my new CZ 17 Hornet, sighted it 1"high at 100 metres, which is spot on at 200 and 6" low at 300. Shot a rabbit at 268 metres, my longest ever, another at 235 and a couple at 170, man awesome, expensive to run but now I can start reloading so cheap as chips.Attachment 41124 rib cage removed at 100 metresAttachment 41125Attachment 41126Attachment 41127268 metresAttachment 41128235 metresAttachment 41129shooting zoneAttachment 41130nailed this hare with 17 hmrAttachment 4113217 hmr, total 13 rabbits, two magpies and the hare:thumbsup:
@Happy your question answered!:ORLY:
Sounds like you got a long range .22
Nope just your range finder!
Holy shit that makes a mess!
Cripes :o Just in the process of sending my .17 hmr to be threaded for my suppressor, cant wait to test it out but think I will be head shooting the bunnies as I like them in a casserole.:D
Nice to see another .17 hornet in action, fun little cal.
Cheap to load, and big on performance, VV120, or Accurate 1680 powder if you can get them in NZ,
Head shots, for eaters, no mistaking a hit the thawk is very noticeable.
The hornet at 3600 fps you see the hit thru the scope, then get the impressive wop. It's a step up on the 17 hmr but at $36.00 per 25 rounds you need to reload, Hornady 17 hmr is $23.00 per 50, well that was what I paid at the Sika show. The 17 hmr is a very nice cal as well. So carry the hornet on my back and Carry the hmr. But once I get enough brass and reload that may change. Now I need a good set of binos, makes it a completely different "sport":D
Yea, reloading is the way to go, cheep as chips then, I can reload for the same as my HMR costs, so far got over 7-8 loads on brass, I will have my hornet get back in NZ in November, and be a man of leasire, until I get a call back to go to work, suspect Jan. save your brass, the little hornet sure open's up the effective range, over the rimfires, and no recoil allows, spotting shots, small bunnies, tend to go air borne.
Just had a look didn't find any VV120 powder in NZ, guess, its going to be back to 4227 or adi 2007.
I'll PM what powder etc I have tonight when I get home thanks
Wow - that damage is impressive Maca
What sort of noise do they make with a can Guys - hmr and hornet - compared to .22
Are the projectiles dangerous if you miss - or do they disintegrate
I am about to change the Unique for something - was looking for a better trigger and like the Ruger 10/22 - but it is also real heavy - but a trigger conversion is available at 2.5lbs
HMR is pretty quiet with a can. I just use the brave heart from Gun City and it's pretty good really.
Gotta love the little .17 calibre rounds. My CZ hm2 was a favourite until the ammo became hard to find. Was super accurate withe the Eley stuff but it dried up. Gotta say that the Marlin 917v Doc Watson found for me is silly accurate and hits really hard out to 150.
If you've ever fired a 22 magnum they are very similar. The hmr is devastating on small game plenty of video evidence on YouTube. I dropped a adult turkey on the spot at around 180 this week. If you want to harvest the meat head shot is important, the pill scatters pieces on impact

First magpie for the month.Dumb bastard landed on a post while I was taking milk up to the calves.Attachment 41174
@Dundee you should make a head dress to go with the totem poles
Has any one tried to make one of these ladder traps for magpies in NZ https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=la...w=1024&bih=672
Not as much fun as shooting but if you shoot a 1000 a month then maybe worth a go.
Going to try one here for crows.
The tip I got from a local game keeper was clean them out at night. That way they birds on the out side don't relate you with there missing mates. Also move it around.
Really:ORLY:
