ive been using a borrowed toz for the last 3 weeks luvly old gun and im slowly getting the hang of it
with a 3x9 22 scope but the creepy trigger and wieght with bipod and supressor is causing some pulling to the right.
bowled about 8 bunnys with it so far but missed as many more at least.
not that i was a sniper quality rifle shot in the first place

There's too much grass the buggers are harder to find
Been trying for this one for awhile now. No more plums for him or her.

Good work mate and great shooting to nail one with a rifle! Occasionally I see a stoat or weasel near my house followed by a mad dash to grab the semiauto shotgun and a few #7 shells.
They are not keen on eating decomposing meat, so if ya rabbit bait is going off in the Central summer heat try using a fresh,unbroken chook egg. Replace it every 2 months.
10 rabbits last night, grass is so long very hard to pick up. Nice but very hot afternoon for a walk!:cool:
You need to bend over further old man. They are not that heavy Maca. Should be easy to pick up if you work on your flexibility.Quote:

Four pigeons to the mighty 22 air rifle.
Horse Stud near where I live gave me a call regarding a couple of dozen pigeons crapping in the feed barn and over the vehicles. The 22 rimfire is too big a risk of both punching through the tin roof or ricocheting off towards stock. So out came the trusty air rifle.
Just getting a shot and then waiting till they come back took ages, but I got 4 in 2hrs. I will prob go and spotlight them next time.

Spent the weekend down the Haka. 30 wallabies between two of us and two pigs to my mates rifle - I had a big oops on mine, so we put it away. Not before I'd slayed a couple of Ozzie Overstayers out to 350m. Here's a pic of my mate taking back wheels off three successive shots, where Mum, Dad and Joey all got their visas revoked - Permanently at 200, 211 and 251m.

Toz power!, not single shot is it.
Looks like a mag below the ejection port.Quote:

Yup the Toz has a mag. I got it for Christmas then stripped it, chopped the stock down to fit my little arms, sanded and refinished.
Borrowed this slug gun recently which was a it of fun. Killed off all the starlings and maggies and now the Tui birds have returned [emoji5] love those guys. I might make a feeder.

.222 Sako with 50grn. Vmax / 6.5-20 Leupold
6 for the evening.
No wind, so the HMR accounted for 4 headshots to 150m. 1 neck shot at 188m.
My boy grabbed a 30m headshot with the 22.

Myself and a few friends had a great time on the weekend, we got a few Rabbits.
Troy got one with his 22, which became dinner on the BBQ...
A friend 'Antman' got one with a very clean 5.56 shot, and I managed one with a 223SP which made a mess...
Magpies seemed to always elude us, and probably need to check my zero on my rifle, as we had a few misses.
Kids also learnt to drive a buggy and had a great time again in the country!

Good stuff GMQuote:

Realised that I can't pull off long 80 metre plus shots with the .22LR, so wonder if I should have gone .17HMR instead. Lots of people talked me out of it at the time. Anyway...

Taupo range on Sat am to try some hotter 17 hornet loads between showers, took the 17 HMR for a long and at times steep walk after rabbits yesterday, only seven but it was so bloody hot and once again long grass. Missed most of the close of the should shit, but got some satisfying longer shots from the bipod. Attachment 45608Attachment 45609
Good on you for climbing those hills on your Zimmer frame old fellah!
I smoked a turkey at around 180m with the hmr a while back. Highly recommend the hmr for pests over the 22, so much more range and accuracy so less need to get as close. The other advantage with shooting large birds with the hmr is the way the projectile explodes and does the damageQuote:

A suppressor reduces noise well which well improve things. I agree, have both. I use a jw 15 over barrel suppressed with subs out to about 70 and hmr for longer stuffQuote:
