I would head into the country, in the direction of Leeston, obviously sans gear, and knock on some doors. I worked for the council in that area, and there are definitely rabbits and possums around.

Being old, I've always relied on the sight picture. Just got used to it with practice. Quite happy shooting offhand out to around 100m on a rabbit or hare.

Newshub just has.

Yep. When I got my first .22 in 1971, bussed to town (CHCH) walked to cop shop for permit, ten to Tisdale's. Purchased rifle, walked back to cops , and registered it. Then off to nearest bus stop,...

Well, bugger me. It seems an unnatural way to hold a rifle, but I don't use a bipod.

Not being an arse, but why would one hold the scope?

The noise gets their attention. I have found they rarely run if they can't see or smell you.(unless they have been recently hammered.) I use cover and wind. Very satisfying. One time I got 3 pigs...

They are on borrowed time. The gravy train has left the station. They are grieving, and in the denial stage.

I don't get out much now, owing to lack of opportunity, but some of the best fun I've had was with a Winchester 5 shot pump, 18.5" barrel, shooting rabbits in the scrub on the river bed. As others...

Yep. Several mates flagged theirs for the back issues. I ride this 82 XJ750. Very comfortable for an old dude. (68)235857

If she even had one, the same as Tarrant.

When our Martha went at 17, Poppy was very depressed. She came out of it, but getting young Bernie re-invigorated her. (And me).233399233400233401

Thanks for clarifying that, Padre.

Only an illiterate would read it otherwise. I'm all for dispatching pests. However, I consider that it needs to be done ethically, just like game animals. Quick and clean.

I've done a lot of rabbit shooting with both. Rabbits can't tell the difference, as far as I can tell. Being sneaky seems far more important.

I listened to the guy. Because it's not just someone's power bill, it is an issue. When you make something compulsory, you ARE accountable for people's info in your system. It's not FB, where if you...

Well, the Privacy Commissioner is all over it, so the official arbiters of these things consider it a breach, and a fairly serious one, in this context. He's pretty unhappy.

Yep. And the old three oh was cock on close, so forward to lock when ready.As an aside, one of the most useless safeties I ever came across was on an Anschultz .22 Magnum. A brand new one. Would fire...

I hear ya.

Feel free to scroll on by, mate. That's the beauty of the internet.

I personally think that the best way to learn the skills necessary is using a .22LR on small game. Just my 2 cents worth.

It seems to me, that a tinfoil hat is safer than a blindfold.
