Thread: Land Rovers Varminting Pictures

Hi Guys

Just a few of my Varmint hunting pics from the Marlborough region.

I like your neighbourhood. That scenery is very familiar.

Some bloody nice photos mate, you mob sure got it good over there for scenery. what cal is the CZ hummer or magnum, use a 22 for my work rifle, they are a great bit of gear. You get blokes get many feral cats over your way, heaps out here, and I just love shooting the buggers. Thanks

Hey Kamel that's a CZ 452 American Heavy Barrel Varmint 17HMR commonly called the " Hummer ".

aahhh yeah, that's right. 400yards hhmmm yahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Great stuff. Scungey mongrel damn cats are fantastic shooting, they're so highly strung you often get spectacular kills.

Great shooting in great scenery Is the hare in good numbers where you hunt?, there's more hares here that bunnies & they make for a tasty meal.
As for cats , We're on a lifestyle block 40+ kms from thr nearest town yet people still drop off unwanted felines around here so they do get shot on sight ( the felines I mean ). I've seen a few magazine articles on the problems in Ausiland but we don't have it as bad here.----yet

Very good rifles, had a CZ453 set trigger varmint model that I was using for hares when I had a market for them, hares gone, market gone so I sold it off to someone who wanted it more than he did his cash.

Awesome photos, sadly not enough Landrovers though?

Do you use binoculars to spot things far away, or just use your scope if you need the magnification?

Hey Beetroot, I use bino's (nockies). To much hard work looking through a scope all day and the field of view is to small. Generally I poke my head over a spur/ridge and check every bush, tussock etc for a bunnie. I always check the shadows of bushes/tussock on a hot day as that is where they sit. Also up against the tussock (down wind side) when its blowing it's tits off. Nockies are nearly as important as the rifle for all hunting.

cheers LR
