The 260 might have a wee bit to much oomph for those critters but dead is dead. Certainly wasn't going to walk away.
Couple of rabbits and crows from last weekend, all with 20/222, last is one of the blokes I was camping with and the only hare seen shot with his 260 Tikka

Stuck these pics from my walk last night on the air rifle thread but I don't think it gets as many views as this one so ill double up. Rabbits were all shot between 30 - 90m and the Plover head shot was at about 80m :)

Picked up my first 22lr couple days ago for $350 second hand. It's made in Brazil by CBC and it's alot nicer and bit more accurate than the old man's 10/22. The trigger is great just about exactly like my howa trigger. Took the vortex diamond back 3-9-40 off the 308 and put it on the new 22. Seems to like CCI minimags groups one inch at 50 meters. CCI subs not grouping to flash so will have to find what brand of subs it likes. So was shooting paper next to the house and went to reload the mag and two magpies turn up :D sooo I ranged them and they were at 77 meters two shots two dead birds:cool:

Mate from Virginia USA sent me this pic of his squirrel hunt with the .22lr.They stew them or deep frie them.
Attachment 96492
At least one of those is probably no good for stewing or frying, guess which one :sick:
Looks to be a lot of damage for 22lr????
Poor little squirlies. :D
I remember back when I got hold of the American magazines a lot more.Quote:

If it didn't kill it, you could finish it off with minimal meat damage. Can anyone corroborate this? Been a while, I might have mixed the memories up.
You would be surprised how big those little tree rats get!
Absolutely hate them here in the UK! Rather have the native Red squirrels. The grey was induced and brought with it a poxs that has been killing off the red. Also the Grey is a lot more aggressive. Eats birds eggs and ya finger if your dumb enough to tease it in Hyde park......Umm year that would be me. He got a punch in the snout for his troubles I got a saw finger and then a smack on the ear for mine. (Wife thought I deserved it:wtfsmilie::XD:) The kid standing next to us wasn't sure weather to laugh our cry...I felt the same:thumbsup:
I grew up shooting grey squirrels (and rabbits). For a young 'un in the early 80s I earned a great deal of very useful pocket money shooting squirrels with a 410 and a .22 Hornet (both illegal, I wasn't old enough but no one seemed to mind. Don't tell my kids that). I had permissions in West Sussex that I would cycle to with my guns in a guitar case. The best was a vineyard at West Chiltington where I was paid a small fortune to me at least, for squirrels. They were detested pests.Quote:

Good Sunday goat shoot, final count of about 60. Quite a few running around at the moment.

I went for a quick look for a rabbit or hare before dinner.This is the oldest rifle I've shot a hare with.

You could line up a pet food processor. They're after goats. Your could make a bit of money from it.Quote:

Muzzleloaders have always interested me but I have never even held one let alone fired one......what sort of range can you realistically 95% hit a rabbit in the front half at?Quote:

Im sure rabbits would be queuing up to be shot by that.
I'm using a ghost ring rear and globe front sight so not really what you would call precision.Quote:

It's pretty well set up for bigger game.
But out to 50m I'm running about 50% hits and inside 30m i get most things if they are stationary.
My longest hit was 88m on a hare with a good rest.
I run it on scrap lead 320 grains @ 1350 fps with genuine black powder so you don't see much of what happens in the target zone.
You should always shoot with an observer out to one side.
That would be my dog then.Quote:

15 Bunnies last night, including the first shot after zeroing with the Creedmoor, but only at 172 yds. Also first ever time getting 2 with one shot at 120 yds with the 223:thumbsup:. Never anybody there to witness it or get it filmed though:pissed off:
