That's ok mate, thanks for taking the time for the input anyway.

berg243 , yes the rabbits are in very good nick. the big tough ones that have got through winter I guess.
I will do a write up the rifle after a few months of hard use and lots of rounds under it's...

Got out yesterday with the new Savage , sighted in pretty well with Winchester subs ( all I had ), around the inch or slighty less at 50 mtrs. A couple of jams but it's still bedding down.
Onto the...

StrikerNZ , thanks for the input bud. Yep like you I think 15 inch will make a very handy rifle but that's a shit load to take off the factory barrel.
I rang Hunting and Fishing who said Sportways...

Thanks for the input guys, the response has been amazing with all but a couple of posts very helpful and made for some interesting reading.

it was the first 22 i ever had, it was a good rifle considering its price. i even still have the manual.

Thanks again for the offer mate, really generous .

7mm Rem Mag thanks for your thoughts. Over here in Central isn't all big gully,s . There is some very tight shooting among lupin's , matagouri and brair . It's more of a case of right tool for the...

Yeah they are nice but not a work horse that I need.

Hard to take advice from a man who looks like an apprentice to Hannibal Lector , one more victim Tommy and you will have enough skin to cover your whole face:P

planenutz , mate that's a very kind offer but one of the farmers whose place I shoot has a 10 / 22 which I am sure he would let me try.
Should catch up for a coffee some time, always good to meet...

I just need a work horse.

So after two blistering nights spotlighting my thump is looking raw and sore from constantly reloading a 5 round mag in my JW15. Also being a leftie I am getting sick of reaching around the spotlight...
