Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Nowhere near as far as Dundee and his sterling 🙂

Been getting a few of these, Canada magpie,
really like the Fx dreamline air rifle, more accurate than my .22, this one in .25cal,

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.

Have built up a couple of those, good fun!

Seen a white starling the other day,but there a hundreds around ,shooting it or seeing it again will be a lotto.

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!

Could live without the pumping myself and had a good look at 22xx range and the conversion to pcp kits for them as well.
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

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.

i would say that a lever action when used by a shooter that knows what he is doing is only a little slower if that than a semi used by your average shooter.
keep the butt into the shoulder and your eye following the game as you cycle the action with authority as the rifle recoils and it is a thing of bueaty when it all comes together . . . R
