It was a young juvenile Magpie that landed on the barrel causing the rifle to slip and impale itself up the Magpies ring piece. Dundee tried to shake it off but accidentally loaded and pulled the trigger which blew the Magpie 3.8 metres from the barrel where upon Dundee walked away 97 metres and got his range finder out.
Good afternoon with both 17s the HMR and the Hornet, shot my first reloads in anger and scored 7 kills, longest 189 metres so happy. The Hornet deals to them. 16 rabbits, 1 hare and a magpie!Attachment 43769

I just lured in three mynahs with a mynah distress call I found on the web..... three more mynahs fall victim to the cometa fusion.
Tents two rabbits and a demolished magpie, took the .17 hornet only with my roll your owns, longest shot 170 metres, great satisfaction know they are consistently accurate :thumbsup:Attachment 44028Attachment 44029Attachment 44030
Shit me auto correctWTF 22 wabbits hahahahaha
Went out for a look tonight at my new place, I knew there where some rabbits kicking about and only managed to get the smallest one (was a head shot thou) but enjoyed getting the other fluffy thing. Might have to have another look later.

Took out 5 possums tonight, got a 2 in one shot with mum carrying a little one on its back, spot her at 40m with my headtorch on the ground. She went for a tree, I turned on the Maxtoch M24 mounted on the 10/22
and shot the little one through the neck and got mum through the back/chest. Little one dropped straight away, mum still hanging on to the tree, about to hit her with a second shot, but she fell before I could take the shot. CCI subs strike again.
Was only able to recover 3 and plucked, the others, 1 lost in the stream, and the other lost on a 75 degree slope about 20mtr drop. I heard it hit the ground with a nice thud. It was in a 8mtr pine so it had a good 10-12mtr fall.
Two more mynah birds destroyed thanks to the distress call and the cometa fusion.22....... happy days!:XD:
281 rabbits for 2015:P

Just gone through the 2015 diary and 268 magpies were put to sleep for ever in 2015. The lowest count since i've been targeting them as traps were used on the felines most of the year around the duck shooting areas.
Did a rabbit shoot over three afternoons from Boxing day and shot 1,140 between two of us. Lots of young ones about, making up probably 80% of what we shot.
Well done. That makes @Maca49 look like a light weight. What were you using?
AR15 for the longer range stuff and 17HMR for the areas out to 150m and no wind, and when I ran out of .223 ammo. Ran into a red hind as well but unfortunately was carrying the HMR at the time [emoji35]
Yep but you have to be competent with the rifle! Anywhere in the eyes good:ORLY:. I have never owned enough ammo or seen that many tabbits to achieve those figures. Good shooting, be some fat Hawks and gulls about!:thumbsup:
9th magpie for this year

Took my son out for his first taste - I did the shooting and he played faithful retriever.
