Stunning evening in Central, warm and still. Had a great walk. Spent last weekend polishing the bolt on the JW for hours with 1200 then 2000 wet and dry ,feels pretty good.
Took it for a test tonight, much slicker and smoother.
42 shot .Attachment 62012
Not today, but my first redneck (sorry Mr Trump). Thanks again @StrikerNZ

Young Miner at 7 meaters
Went out last night with a couple friends and managed to get 23 hares and 3 rabbits.
Didn’t expect to need a rifle - so had to take the cage back to the shed
Leg of rabbit in the back of the cage for a cat - not for a possum - but I will take it
Another close up job for the Cooey

Our rabbit cat managed to catch something different today. Just hope this does not result in vet bills.

Well... with the wife at work and the rain clearing, I went out last evening with my first box of home made ammo. Impressed and very happy with 2 magpies and 13 bunnies.
Now I need another rainy day to make some more
( Barnes 50 gn Varmint grenade, over 24 gns of 2208, ADI cases and CCI primer) :D
Out with @mudgripz and @TimeRider last night. Between us we accounted for 20 hares and rabbits. Very challenging conditions with gale force winds. Rather difficult lining up when the vehicle and the rifle are getting pushed around by the wind. Aim one hare length to the right and the projectile hits one hare length left of said hare!
Excellent outing though. Made more so by the spectacular sunset over the Waikari hills. That brought the hunting to a standstill for a while - just enjoying the beauty of nature. Mind you it's an important part of why we all go hunting - enjoying the great kiwi outdoors
Got 4 with the old Browning .22sa top loader.

@FatLabrador awesome! I wonder if rifles made today will be passed down the generations or are they like most things these days that only last a few years
A lot of those old guns made from hand finished solid steel parts will still be enjoyed by your childrens children. Not so much for the alloy, stamped,pressed or plastic parts built rifles of today that are built to a price rather than built for a purpose.
Classic rifle FatLabrador - must be nice to be able to use Granddad’s rifle
I remember one of those very well - I was 16 and Mum hated me having a gun - Dad loaned me his De Soto to go out and get some bunnies for cat tucker - we got back to the car after dark - I took the mag out of my Gevarm - (so it was safe) - my Mate worked the pump about 15 times on his Winchester and climbed in the passenger seat beside me with the barrel up near the roof - he pulled the trigger - boom - right beside my ear - many ringing noises for a while
Went home and confessed to Dad - he said - for Christ sake we won’t tell Mum - he took the car to the panel shop next day and they hammered in the uplift, filled it with bog and painted the roof - there was a burn mark on the ceiling upholstery for the next ten years
Sadly - my Son won’t want any of my firearms
Ha! That sounds almost like a proposal @Dundee [emoji12]

One buck before the rain yesterday.
Neighbour has shot two deer on the river and seen two more all I got was a rabbit,magpie and plover.
Attachment 62613
One unlucky plover vs 223 - not much competition I'm afraid.
Attachment 62824
yes agree, i drilled one with the hmr as well. cut it in half nearly. Also deleted a magpie with the hmr, the bird was in a tall tree near me so shooting angle was about 50deg. the pill entered mid body and literally blew it's entire back out like a hatch but that's probably more to do with the hmr than bird anatomy

Just one today, was a nice clean bunny though. I think it will be good eating. Headshot from about 50m after touching the barrel to an electric fence and zapping myself. Took a minute or so to steady myself after that!
It's a prick of a thing, the electrical fence and the end of the barrel, really good tickle up!:thumbsup:
Makes me shiver thinking about it!
At least it wasn't ur...
longest hits for the day . . . up at 5am this morning and on the farm before the wind arrived for some good shooting, started with the heavy barrel remington then onto the sako . . 8 hours later called it a day . . all good
