a good walk on the hill today . . . wind was low and it wasnt cold, that makes a pleasant change
Attachment 75335
thought i would put a couple of pics up to show the difference in smackdown power between my .22 VarTarg & the .243 at similar range
WARNING . . graphic content
255yds VarTarg shot yesterday
Attachment 75430
270yds .243 shot 2 days ago . . . it guts them on a center hit
Attachment 75432
normally i would take a pic of the Rabbit on its not so smashed side, its not pritty . . . but it just such a marked difference in horsepower i could see last night its worth showing.
VarTarg runs 50grn. VMax at 3050fps - .243 runs 75grn. VMax at 3150fps .. . there is only a difference of 25grns. and a 100fps but man it makes a HUGE difference on the receiving end
30+ for the day . . funny / tragic shots, knocked one over which promptly got jumped on and shagged, maybe i should've waited till he finnished, but No . . Attachment 75818

Feel free to post more pics of varmints. Good to see what else is out there.
That "carefully maintained" rimfire always cracks me up.
What do your vehicles look like? :P
Picture of the youngest out there with his Tikka T3 .223 that we modded the stock on.
Pretty cool little rifle this one and it seems to like the Winchester 55 grain pills too.... managed 3 shots touching at 100yds when sighting in and called it good!
The Nikko 4-16x50 scope on this one is pretty decent too and has been flawless also.
A cheap "Atlas clone", MAE .22 can and some Talley rings round off a well priced accurate little shooter... he's absolutely stoked as you can tell from the photo.
This was one of a few Turkeys that he nailed at 100 ish yds.

Attachment 76038 A handful from last weekend. Posed to show the good side:sick:
Took the Remington 204 to the range this am, along with my 38/55, .17mach 2 And my Sako 6.5 x 55. Sighted them all in. The 6.5 x 55 is the most accurate rifle I’ve ever owned, it makes me feel I’ve cheated ever time I fire it! I took the 204 out this avo for a walk, ended up with 3 Rabbits and 3 Hares, so my old mate will have a feed. First kill with the rifle 177 metres on a rabbit, can’t argue with that
Attachment 76039
177 metres
Attachment 76040
97 metres
Attachment 76041
120 metres
Attachment 76042
Near miss 206 metres
Think I’ll be looking for an upgrade on this 204 caliber!!!!! :cool:
That's your old .223 doing the business above mate!
