    A lot of those old guns made from hand finished solid steel parts will still be enjoyed by your childrens children. Not so much for the alloy, stamped,pressed or plastic parts built rifles of today that are built to a price rather than built for a purpose.
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    Classic rifle FatLabrador - must be nice to be able to use Granddad’s rifle
    I remember one of those very well - I was 16 and Mum hated me having a gun - Dad loaned me his De Soto to go out and get some bunnies for cat tucker - we got back to the car after dark - I took the mag out of my Gevarm - (so it was safe) - my Mate worked the pump about 15 times on his Winchester and climbed in the passenger seat beside me with the barrel up near the roof - he pulled the trigger - boom - right beside my ear - many ringing noises for a while
    Went home and confessed to Dad - he said - for Christ sake we won’t tell Mum - he took the car to the panel shop next day and they hammered in the uplift, filled it with bog and painted the roof - there was a burn mark on the ceiling upholstery for the next ten years
    Sadly - my Son won’t want any of my firearms

    Maybe you should take something other than your long range 22 then

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Those shit Houser birds are as weak as piss, the hmr tears them to ribbons and even my sub 22 usually makes their wings fall off when you hit them dead centre

    yes agree, i drilled one with the hmr as well. cut it in half nearly. Also deleted a magpie with the hmr, the bird was in a tall tree near me so shooting angle was about 50deg. the pill entered mid body and literally blew it's entire back out like a hatch but that's probably more to do with the hmr than bird anatomy
