Out in Cromwell yesterday. Quite a few running around but they weren't staying out long. Lot of young ones. One of the fellas with a setup .223 did well. Made me reconsider selling the .17 for one, or a .204. Handle the windy days better than the .17 anyway.
I let the chirper go this time - this is mum or dad - still about four to get and the Kereru can come back safely

Shot this f#@kn bastard after it pecked the eye out of a live ewe. Poor old tart, I had to cut her throat, she was stuffed. 143gr ELD-X from the 260Imp @ 240m made a small fist size exit hole :thumbsup:

The purpose of a batten is simply to ensure that the fence has been built properly. Not using battens in building fences is the same as not using wheels when building cars. No battens being used on fences in the South Island is known to be the result of south islanders having too many thumbs to hit when hammering in staples.
Come on Rushy we all know the real reason they use all those battens up north is it makes it harder for the ewe to get her head out of the fence [emoji6]Quote:

Back legs down the front of your gumboots and head in a batten fence, that sheep ain't going nowhere
That is very true VC. Why do you think us north islanders have such firm hand shakes? It comes from gripping the battens while ramming.Quote:

because i can
Attachment 60100Attachment 60101[
then i took out the Quad . . . fired 120 rounds
very pleased with these headshots at 20-225yds - that was all i could see
Attachment 60104
longest shot with the subs 296yds
9 hours after i arrived i called it a day, i was out of ammo . . . outstanding !
Managed to find time to get out to a friends farm today, didn't start off as planned, had a quick yarn and then went to sort the gear out. Put the bolt in the rifle, shit that's a big hole, had the .308 and the .22 bolt. Back in to town to get the .22, an hour wasted but a good day in the end. Only two shot, one bunny at 126 yards and a hare jumped out of the grass right in front as we were finishing our walk.

Only 1 rabbit for me this afternoon, but 4 plovers, the most satisfying "puff" of feathers ever.
a bit windy this evening so nothing over 200yds . . but still a good walk

rossi.45. You are making me think that I need to find another place to shoot rabbits / hares / magpies that allows shooting with a centrefire. Looks like that would make fantastic practice for larger game.
cheers quentin . . . all trigger time is good - i love them all, big game, small game, big calibers, small calibers, fast & slow, near & far . . its all good . . good luckQuote:

223 + new scope + hand loads......... 20 mins work for 23 shot..... hardest part was walking up the hill to collect some of them to get a photo for you boyz. :thumbsup:
Jeeze you Southern lads are lucky with all those bunnies around.
Eliminated a hare on way to run off.

That suppressor is enormous! So is the pile of rabbits. I'd have to shoot for hours to get that tally. But seriously what suppressor is that?Quote:

Came with the rifle, an early DPT before they went modular, off a 25-06, noise reduction is average but it's built like a brick shit house and works well. Tikka T3 running 40gr V-Max, seems to be a perfect combo, 100mtrs produced a 14mm group. Like to claim it was my great shooting skills but it isn't. Just the right gun, suppressor, hand loads and the scope has made a big difference. A lot of rabbits down here, a lot of trigger time, definatley helps the shooting.
Another walk this evening, .22 only - 37 shot
few maggies out on the flat 100mtrs plus:)Attachment 60344Attachment 60345Attachment 60346
And a pigeon
