Up in the Ruahine Range today and on my way out saw a feral moggey so let the 7mm08 take care of that predator.6 cars were at the road end.

So, you had a backup plan just in case you gut shot it???
@GWH like all other respectable hunters whom dont hunt animals out past their known skill levels always have a back up plan... its often called "another round in the mag" or "quick follow up shot"Quote:

Wind is the biggest factor really and in this situation the wind wasnt that hard to get a accurate handle on.
My first lawn digger with the Stoeger RX20 – last time he craps and digs all over the lawn all night – 11am – he should have stayed under cover
Expensive piece of kit - .22 and amazingly silent – screwed the trigger adjustment all the way and it works reasonably well for a slug gun

Racing home from work and spotted a hare before I even got my duck shooting gear ready!

Unlocked the trusty .22 and went back up the track!

Head shot as usual for a feed.

And I'm 6 "4 good eating on the straps and legs!.Attachment 144459Attachment 144460
What does hare taste like?
Bloody delicious! Tried some backsteaks on the BBQ back in autumn - right up there with top notch venison. The dog will never be getting the backsteaks ever again! ��Quote:

A couple of hours in the apple orchard this arvo with the 17 Hornet, nailed a few more rabbits, longest shot 270 yards.
Turned a couple of noisy Aussie invaders into fertiliser and puffs of white feathers.
Good fun!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f38fdbeb86.jpg

Awesome footage,any holes in the water lines yet?
LOL no, I didn't have much to shoot at past that post with the water line running up it did I. ;-) As you can imagine when you do a lot of this shooting you get a lot of faith in your rifle and ability with it to place shots. I'm using a 20x scope on it, with a tiny varmint fine dot reticle. I'm lying prone with very good rests for each and every shot, it makes it fairly easy.Quote:

Dundee you cannot fool me as I have known you too long. That is not your meal. The two giveaways are the vegetables and the lack of Watties Tomato SauceQuote:

Dad shot a rabbit using a Brno Mod 2.
Young chap shot his first game animal. Had a great father/son moment.
Was going to breast turkey but all shot up so showed them the internals. Skinned n gutted rabbit as well. Boys took great interest in it all.

Got myself a 17HMR a while back. Started off not to bad, but thought I could improve it by lightening the trigger. Started spraying shots everywhere. Love and trust in this wee cartridge rapidly flying out the window. Back to the bench, got the hammer, grinder and other tools onto it, relieved the barrel, gave it a clean and took it back out.
Back to cloverleafs. Quick wander this morning... 3 for 3. Got its mojo back.
something else that can effect accuracy is fouling, if accuracy was good and starts to wain it could be time for a clean :thumbsup:Quote:
