No this is not a hybrid hare with 4 back straps:D
always good feeling to pull off a long range shot.
Is it just the angle of pic or is that a pretty thick barrel?
nice shooting.
Just the angle Kruza.
Getting some close up cat food vids:)

Little bit of surgery with the 17 Hornet tonight.

Nice head shots
The 17H is a tack driver, shot of the night was the one through the eye, was all I could see with the green spotlight and him in the long grass. Hell of a mess.
Nice shot! Distance?Quote:

Turns out I wasn't the only hunter out on my clients property last night! I noticed the Cat first and watched it for a min before I saw the 3 Rats climbing in the tree, as the Cat got a bit closer I realized he was stalking them so hit the record button. It was a bit out of focus at first because they were only 70m away and I had been looking for rabbits at 150m. The Cat got a great kill easily and walked off with his dinner. It's always a pleasure to watch what goes on in nature when nothing knows you are there. Shot using my Pard TA62-35 hand held thermal.

If you shoot that white Starling, Send it to me and I'll taxidermy it for you
It's quite taken me.
It is really good fun. Really good on birds. Got two more later on.
I'm going to upgrade the piston etc and if that works out, buy another and blow the cash building custom. Match trigger set, Loather Walther barrel, piston, valve, port,custom wood,
The amount of market part choice is awesome.
I got more enjoyment from the 2240/2250 range as I'm not really a fan of pumping up for each shot. I do love the customization though!Quote:

They look awesome, but end of day couldn't get past the fact they arn't self contained for power. That was the only thing stopped me going that way.
1st for the evening . .
92 .45LC Rossi 240grn. LEE bullet
Attachment 208722
the .45LC has a unique sound to it...almost like the .410 great wee round when used within its limits.
would be dirt cheap to load for too..the primer would be most costly bit now...
Nice lever action rifle. I think lever action for rabbits maybe will have chance for a second shot compare to bolt action? Or I am wrong about it.Quote:

These days i only use light bullets but there was a time i ran it at full noise with heavy bullets for Deer, Goats at close range . . on paper the numbers dont seem that impressive but Real world results up close and personal are devastating on animals, running game is smashed to the ground with a good chest shot . . sorry about the ramble, i get a bit excited when i talk about .45s
Thank you. Do `t have a lever action experience, but has this idea since my first goat shooting. "The thing of beauty when it all comes together" as you said, may I see it as "feel the shots"? I think you know what meant.Quote:

Hang for a bit before the labradors turn up.

So I'm on a relentless attack of the starlings, in the macs, around wool shed etc with 1322. They are way onto me and I've only got to step outside and the alarm calls go off, majority take off to other trees to watch, while a few, that have sussed places still in trees that are well covered, are warn those returning.
I'm going to hound them a few. more days with 1322, and then start with the tx200, sniping them out of the other trees they sit in. Don't want them back nesting next year.
This one was hopping between branches so pulled a snap shot, and was rather pleased with it.
Through the eye out the top of skull.

1322 firing JSB Hades 15.89gr
35ft up, 8 meters out from tree
Got some big as hares this evening, plus a dozen or so bunnies. Couple of these will be as heavy as I’ve ever shot I reckon. The dogs are well impressed, dogs’ dinner sorted for a fortnight. I took the .22LR and .223 Rem but ended up only using the .22LR, with S&B subsonic HPs. Had a couple of corker shots quite steeply downhill with the sun directly behind me, 127m and 116m. The sun lit up the wee 40gr bullets, both clearly visible all the way to the unfortunate hares on 16x magnification. Love seeing the arc of the trajectory, super satisfying to land this excellent ammo right were its intended.

agree 100% and the difference between a semi and a pump is even less....all three work much better if you actully stop for split second and AIM... I for one have been guilty of spray n pray far too many times even with bolt actions.Quote:

Nice shooting. I usually find a a very small red drop of blood where I've shot with air rifle.
Guess your having no trouble finding where you hit.
Rather devastating for hares 👍
Yea knocks em down pretty good, meat saver shots:thumbsup:This farm is rolling to steep so we just drive the tracks and shoot over the bonnet, which means i dont have to carry the heavy beast

i use a 6oclock sight picture with a little white space between the bottom of the square and the front sight . . . target was at 50yards, good to go out to 70ish yards with some holdover
