My drilling and double rifle does, but this one has a dolls head lock up which is an old old design rarely seen nowadays.Quote:

Cheers for that. So they are not fully eradicated but thin enough on the ground that Sidelock would be doing very well to get a bag like he did.Quote:

Ticked over 200 for the trip last night. 3 of us. Culling the steeper stiff where the NV can’t get to so it’s harder work with a lot of climbing. Attachment 158207
Be careful as I think Dundee has copyright on pictures like this with circled targets a million miles away.Quote:

Took my old Savage 23D Hornet out. Looking for a hare or two. Magpies kept swirling and squawking at me. One made the mistake of setting on a handy fence post, 40m uphill. Shot gutted it. Further on I found a young male hare. Now in process of making pie. 151m by Sig RF. Had a quartering side wind, aimed I thought for the shoulder, took him high on the back and out through hip. He hunkered and I thought I'd missed. Showed his head as I walked up so there wasn't a left of that intact with the coup de grace. 40gn pill doing around 2600 fps. PPU factory SP. I was using them to benchmark my load development. Completed my ladder test and liked how the rifle was shooting so took it out off the range for the first time since I bought it, with the PPU. Looking forward to going out with handloads now. Has an old Leupold x4 fixed power on it. Nice and clear.
Looks like you’ve got that Mercator shaped nicely. You may need to start getting a new up to speed in a year or two.Quote:

Took the dog for his nightly empty out before being put away and was dumping a stoat, minus the tail.
Had couple of options in the truck as it turned out! I needed one of them.
Just never know how the walk will turn out some nights.

Wow good effort, was that by accident or were targeting stoats?Quote:

No the stoat was earlier in the day and target it was. But the others just happened in the course of the outting.

I shot a young rabbit twenty metres from my front door this morning. Cheeky bloody thing made a wrong choice coming on to my property. Hawk fodder now.
...apparently this is a shooting and hunting forum so here’s a couple of pics .....

Might have been a plover.........now it’s just a puffer:XD:
Then again maybe it’s just a puffffffffffi
its a good plover now....
Under 50m?
About 100yrds, was quite impressive through the scope
Nice. Had that close range look about it so was guessing sub 50m
Picked off all the dumb ones at sub 50m with the .22, now I’m working my way through the crafty ones that won’t let me get that close...
Out for enjoyable bunny shoot last night just 45 mins from Chch city. Wandered part of a farm and shooting from truck we popped 28 bunnies and hares in 2.5 hours. 12 guage and @gadgetman on his 223.
I have this old 1930s side by side Savage shotgun. Savage by name and savage by nature. Built like a tractor and boots like a mule especially when shooting fast and you don't get the cheek weld right. But ... still bowls them out to 50- 60 yards every time. Will never part with the old b#*#...
Good night out for the boys... :)

A great evening out.
2 rabbits out the back paddock at about 80m just before dark the 204 turns them into instant dog food ready to eat and a plover at 40m instant fertilizer for the grass
Yes very necessary to cull them. Farmer on our shoot the other night said he was seeing more cats and asked us to shoot them. They do so much damage to native bird life, esp ground nesting birds.
Saw one, popped one. We have 4 cantab farms and shoot the cats on all of them.
First outing with the "new" Fudd Aneurysm rifle.

~35 roos between two of us in an afternoon.
Yep same here on the farm i live/shoot on. Any cat i see ive been told too shoot . Smoked a few cats now and kittens . Always feel bad for shooting them but they are out of control.
Thats good for a daytime hunt on them.Quote:
