Bo was sent on another retrieve after I fired the trusty Stirling 14p lr rifle.

He was happy with that retrieve.

That rifle and what he seems to shoot with it is proof of the saying beware of the man with only one gun, he probably knows how to use it.
Yeah he wrecked itQuote:

We were out looking for pigs last night, didn't find any but I did shoot a ferret at 10 yards with my 7mm rem mag and turned it into a puddle.
Literally there was nothing left but a puddle. Sorry no pic you all know what a puddle looks like.
Funniest thing I've seen in ages
Was toiling away in the shed tonight cleaning some 22-250 brass(by hand:oh noes:) and decided to load up some 17 hornet brass that I had earlier primed up with the kids.
Came inside to put the gun away and the spotlight was sitting there so decided to just have a peek in the house paddock in the hope of maybe seeing a stray cat and bugger me theres a hare not 30m from my bedroom window. Race inside and get the gun and my freshly minted 20g Vmax, throw the light out there and now theres 2 of them trotting around at 50m unsure what's going on or what to do.
Managed to put the battery in my pocket, juggle the light in my left hand, hold the gun, align the spotlight for some clean light through the scope, try and find the hare through the scope because it's still on 14x from Thursdays plover and slot the first one through the boiler room while free standing. Then I fumble around cocking the bolt and catching my brass find the 2nd one and give him the same deal for free.
Really should get a scope mounted light.

Took the little model 7 223 for a midday wander while away on a weekend hunting trip, pinged a few goats up fairly close including this wide old boyhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...989c589d25.jpg

Total newbie here. Got my first bunny yesterday. Neck shot from 50 yards using a 10/22 with 4x scope. From a kneeling position, reticle floating all over the head area... hoping to get a bit more precise in the future!
A hog in a cage every night lately on the estuary – ferrets have finished so the hogs have taken over – once a hog has been in a trap they just keep on coming – the neighbour has been shooting the ferrets for me but his wife is pissed about him shooting hogs – so I had to shift the cage and bring them home in a bag – the .22 air rifle is hopeless if they are rolled up – so had to get the Unique out for a breath of fresh air – just starting to see hog shit on the lawns – so they are making a comeback – cage No2 out tonight - we are trying to get the Quail back. Why are people fascinated with hogs around their gardens?

First pest shoot for the season with mudgripz and another mate. The virus had been through earlier in the year and hammered the rabbits. We saw more rabbits this trip than last, but still mostly hares. Boy the hares were generally flighty. We managed 13 which wasn't too bad.
Bloody good tucker. Send the left overs up to Dundee for a Tomato Sauce bath.Quote:

Hi All, I had just returned from the shop with my Savage B22, it was with the importers to cure the extracting and ejecting, I refitted the Pard NV008 back on and sighted it in. it was shooting good groups,so I want for a walk to the rear paddock powered it up and looked along the gorse, nothing to see here, almost gone but looked in the shadow and saw the ears twitch, shifted to the left pushed the button and from 6.5x to 13x and there was a bunny, worked the bolt and sighted, bang one flip and that was it, a dead bunny. Taking the B22 back, not ejecting every time, pity I like the gun. but I get to buy another. Happy Days
Quick walk with the new set up, never had a red dot before, works pretty well....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...50f0af2928.jpg

Must be spring again.
Wasn't expecting much, so only took one mag. I'll know better next time.
After spending quite a bit of time behind the 17 Hornet, I almost forgot how efficient and enjoyable the NV setup is on the 22lr.

We had an a17 with the same problems solved it tho upgraded it to a cz455Quote:

finally tried out the model #2 first shot dead rabbit at 10 yards,reloaded and shot hare at 50....not bad for first two rounds out of new rifle...dont know if will bother trying to sight it in LOL.

The new varmint rig, traded in the mighty Marlin 917. Looks like this season maybe a big one for rabbits and I have more properties to shoot than I can handle.
The Marlin was just starting to drop a little accuracy and reliability after 7000 + rounds.
Now have a new CZ 455 in 17hmr, Vortex Copperhead scope. Running the old DPT and bipod from the marlin.
New rig seems good, shoots like a CZ should with it already shooting sub MOA at 100mtrs. Should make a good work horse.
Where did you get the scope from?Quote:
