Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Trigger was crap but a quick look on Youtube and a pair of snips to remove a couple of coils from the trigger spring dropped the break from 3.5 pounds to 1.5 and this has really helped.
Shot 61 rabbits with it after work on Tuesday, light enough to carry and shoot standing and still a good platform for sniping off the bipod.
Best shot to date 163 mtrs.
It will be a good work horse.
Got the Nighteater mounted yet ?

Bloody good going mate!
I found the trigger on my one to be alright. Could be a wee bit lighter, but then wouldn't be that nice to use with gloves on.
Yup, the nighteater is sitting pretty as of this week. The next trick is to get a calm evening to sight it in properly... Bloody wind.

That will learn it, leave my plants alone

Shooting a little 5 acre lifestyle block once a week on my way home from work, two visits so far and 126 rabbits sho with hundreds more running around.
Thank God they are paying for the ammo.
Needless to say the new CZ is well and truly run in.
Shot this really lovely ginger last evening, one of the most strawberry / blond ones I have seen in awhile.

Another wander and sent .22lr pill on the way.





Spotted this one after work so came back for the dog.

Sent the round away and Bo did the rest.


Few feeds there.

Straps.

And back legs.

Left the door open to let some fresh air in today literally for 5 minutes went shut the door and sat down, could hear something scratching around behind the couch....not enough gap for the dogs to get behind there so it was either a bird or something worse.....
Called the dogs into the lounge, shut the doors. Got the dogs interested in the couch....pulled it out (pretty sure at that point I heard the rat utter "oh fuck" all 4 whippets on it like flies on shit. Chased it round the lounge 2 or 3 times then caught it and gave it the death shake. Fucking good dogs, lots of praise and extra sprinkle of cheese on their dinners tonight.

Seven weeks ago, I was in hospital.



Today, I got two magpies, two rabbits and three hares, the longest of which was 419m with the .223 Rem and 50gr Z-Max... gratifying.

No photos sorry, but great to be back out there. Was a bit worried for a while. Hand is next to bloody useless still, but coming right.

@Dundee man that Mercator has done some work LOL

Tonight, it was creepy creepy sneaky sneaky time with the .22LR, first time out wearing it’s new Vortex Tactical 4-16x44 FFP scope. Dials perfectly, these two hares at 88 and 79m, beaut clean headshots, and a close range rabbit at the sheds. Couple of other bunnies as well, not recovered.

Man this lay-off has hurt. Fat bastard! Lots of work to get back to even remotely “in shape”.

Had the boy out on the 22 again doing his part to put something in the frezzer. Bloody things are everywhere.

Not pesties, but a rifle so black that Karens around the world feel a chill blow over them every time it fires...



It's a little badger 22lr, DPT can, Nikko Stirling 2-7x32, with a Pard 007. Note the bayonet adapter for the Pard, I got one from Ali Express and it is way easy to fit and align than the Pard bayonet adapters.

I've been running CCI Quiets through it. When it fires all you hear is the pin strike and the remote impact. It's so quiet that if you miss the bunnies barely (if at all) notice and carry on about their business.

What cal is that?

Fruitful 10 minute rabbit hunt down the bottom of the house paddock. Didn’t even know that they were there until I went to move the cattle beasts. Bastards have moved in while I’ve been off duty! Obligingly, they stayed put long enough for me to go back and get the rifle. Stupid decision...

Another dad moment this evening. An exercise in patience and then some. Long old walk for no action, the grass is just too long in the front paddocks. Just as we’re about to turn up the driveway for home... We spy a hare a good 150m away in a well awkward spot. Super stealthy stalk into 104m, then a belly crawl through tall grass for another 15m (all I could manage thanks), and it was time to set up the shot. The lad did a damn good job, ranging, checking, Strelok, dialling, setting up the .22LR. He had a helluva bad lie, downwards from feet to pelvis, then up onto the max height of the bipod, he had to patiently wait and hold for 7-8 minutes for the shot to present... then... ok I’m ready Dad. Pause. Smack. Perfect head shot. 89m. He’s out back now, feeding it to his dogs...

So what did you do to your hand @Flyblown? Some good shooting there.Going by your boys hat I would guess you have had (carper tunnel op)
