Man, I enjoy the Maxtochs. Had the M24 on the .22 and was carrying the 2X as my son has temp got down on my decent headlight. No shortage of light :thumbsup:

Went out for a couple hours last night, 5 hares and 1 rabbit. Been a few months since I last used this rifle but it reinforced how brutally effective an accurate. 22 running subsonics is
Head shot hare hard right on the screen shot.

Attachment 56681

This is only a guess but going of his forum handle it just might be a Rossi 45. I have to say that being brought up on black and white movies of Cowboys shooting Indians makes a lever action with a scope and a suppressor just look plain wrong.Quote:

barrel shortened to 15 inches n threaded for DPT can suppressor - magazine cut back for later fitting of a over barrel suppressor
custom 40MOA scope base with Burris Signature rings with 30MOA of lift
Mk4 3.5-10 Mildot with M3 dials - zero stop to 350yds in one turn using subsonic load
wind is a real issue with such slow bullets but accuracy is a lot better than most give a leveraction credit for . . . and i get a lot of comments from people who dont like this or that about the rifle
Attachment 56694
everyone should have at least 1 lever action

Last rat chew took the power out at the shed:(
They R a menace after the mild winter @Dundee trying to make my workshop a rat free zone, it's a mission
Trouble is - it’s a first generation rodenticide and may take 3 to 8 days to kill the bastards depending how much they eat - they can chew a lot of power cables in that time - the second or third generation poison may be faster - perhaps PestoffQuote:

Saw one of those traps at farmlands today Timeout.
I got one small possum today. Pulled all my traps out
Went spotlighting last night not a possum to be seen landcorp been poisoning again. Saw three rabits and headshot a hare. Caught 4 rats by the duck pond 2 for doc 200ed and the other two got swimming lessons in a cat trap. Used maze as bait.
Winning the battle found two more dead rats.:mouse::mouse:
Look what I see sticking out of the neighbours silage paddock:)

plenty of meat on that bird without the wings
Ninjerd this bugger this morning:mouse: It was in the dairy and ran down the pipe to the pit.
Didn't come out of pipe so I tipped 20litres down it and when it hit the pit floor scurried up the hose.:mouse:

Whacked it down with alkathene and stomped on the bastard:ninj::mouse:

Well done Dundee. You can have a beer for that effort.
Went for a looksie before dinner tonight saw two hares bunkering out of the wind together.Put the scope up to my eye and sunstrike.:XD:
Same place after dinner and there were three sitting out of the wind.One big mamma was unlucky with a headshot with my ole faithful .22 that has done the hard yards.(And long yards):D

Got two mynas this afternoon, with a bonfire!!
I had a stack of tree waste about the size of a transit van. Lit it and it went really well then I notice a flapping near it. I discovered two myna in a bad way, I figure they had flown through the hot air and that was that
Sent from my workbench
5 rats in 24 hours in my shed... New record not sure if it's good or bad. One trap has gotten something 5nights in a row, one behind the house 4 in a row. Frigging plague, running around on the road in the middle of the day!
Forgot to add 5 possums on the evening 1.5hr stroll. Dogs tried them and i finally got something bigger than a rat with the 17hmr
Baits have stopped being eaten here but there is a hell of a smell n he roof:mouse:
2 magpies today no pictures they all look dead:D
