Therefore it was 50 normal yds :)
The exaggeration is proportional to the beer intake. Some days it could be 25 yards.Quote:

10X40 Kahles binos are sharp enough in the detail and colour to see the Rabbits in the open . . . with the 8-32X56 NXS Nightforce on top of the Tikka i can see them in the shadows of the brush if i take my time & really look. Always amazes me how good the human eye/brain is good at seeing a fimiliar shape then the detail, the black dots of the eyes or ears, the head shape, body shape then recognition . . . gotcha moment.Quote:

Well the battle of the Starlings is still going, this guy was just about suicidal flew down and sat on the antenna about 10m away and just sat there looking at me.
Pop one slug delivered to the brain, it hung like that for about a minute before it's muscles unclenched and it fell.

One tonight,closed the gap on the distance and increased the calibre as it was a tad windy.:thumbsup:Left the dog at the bike no retrieve tonight.

i was thinking ( as ya do ) while walking thru the hills yesterday evening how much i enjoy the Ruger No.1, its got great lines, build quality is very good & the whole singleshot thing is kinda special. . . this one will put bullets on top of each other with no recoil & at 4,010fps its a spectacular killer with the 32grn. VMax
if you get a chance get one.
When I first saw them I’ve always liked them....problem is the list is pretty long and gotta work through others yet..[emoji38]Quote:

One of the relatives by marriage was an older bloke called Ted, probably in his 60s then, only time I ever met him. He had a safe room full of... only Ruger No. 1s. I can’t remember the number - forty? - but every calibre and cartridge they’d ever been manufactured in pretty much. It was the first time I’d ever come across the No. 1. It was really something, and he shot them too, often. He was really into the big bores. He had some really beautiful examples, and some properly beaten up hunters too.
Have absolutely no idea what happened to him or his collection, so will try find out by asking a cuzzie.
Jeez mate, why do you want a new stock for it, way more character in it the way it is, you wouldnt want to spoil a classic like that. :wtfsmilie::DQuote:

Thought ohoo that will be mice then come in from the cold.
Quick shop on amazon and got me a multi trap.
Came the next day. Good wife made pumpkin soup so I set it up with pumpkin seeds as bait.
Little buggers used to love that back home so figured these uk cuzzy would have a similar taste:thumbsup:
Last night I woke to a strange spring noises:wtfsmilie:
Just checked and reset:)

There was no way we were going to carry out those carcasses from where we were, but we did harvest a few legs from the eaters.
