What little pesties did you bowl over today?

never worked out the cost of loading any ammo . . . best not to know, just keep buying new stock as it goes down . . . the .243 is never going to be high volume shooting, the barrel could be toast in a couple of months if i shot it like my .223s

know the area Banockburn but never shot on it . . . use to shoot Northburn which isnt to far away, my first taste of Central Otage Rabiit shooting.

look forward to seeing lots of pics on this thread of your Central holiday . . . good luck

R.

Came across this fella on my travels tonight.

Thought he must've been shot and dumped there because it was only 10 mins away from home, and have never seen them this far down. But when I kicked it off the road, I'm pretty sure it had been hit because just about every bone in his body was broken.
Be able to shoot them out my window next

The brother in law shot one with a solid from his pig gun. Big boom, shower off fluids, lots of swearing and fur drifting down in the torch light. Nearly fell off the bike laughing.

Wondering why your light stopped working?

Haha nah not my light, was working in a house and noticed the lamp had liquid run lines down it, owner had been wondering what the weird smell was for a few days

Last weekend, got some time to go for a walk that turned into a great hunt. Personal best with the 17 HMR at 182 mtrs. Slowly stretching it out. Strange rifle, shoots like shit if clean but is a tack driver once barrel is dirty.
Handy that as I hate cleaning guns all the time:thumbsup:
I shot 57 for the afternoon, actually ran out of ammo in the end . I was going to post another picture of dead rabbits but I have done that plenty lately so thought I would post something different, the North Island boys in particular may find it interesting.
Yep that's rabbit shit and only a small area, the whole paddock is like it. Gives you an idea of numbers and this even has some green grass in the photo. Once summer hits it's just brown, dusty and covered in Rabbit poo.
The paddock has a healthy population but not crazy.Attachment 73947

What is it? Marlin 917?

yep a 917, an older model that's not produced anymore. Semi bull fluted stainless barrel. Doesn't have the new style trigger either so it's had a trigger job done as it was terrible before.
All in all not a bad rifle.

Mate, they're awesome. Mine was super accurate when fouled up. Only ever pulled a snake through and it stayed a tack driver. My mate cleaned it when he bought it and it took ages to foul up and regain it's tack driving status.
