That are big! I like it as well for your rifle, what you were using? Hunting rabbits in this sort of place with this view is my dream....

One rabbit, two nice shots, one from you rifle, one from your camera. The depth of the color in your picture is good, iphone?

Nope huawei. Old as. Was a spectacular evening yesterday. took about 5.15pm. Guess light angle was just right. cheers.

I finished all the machining on this G1 22 yesterday

Nice work! Where do we form the queue?

I'll have a 22LR like this and a longer 30/30 barrel. A 22 K-Hornet or 25/20 barrel would be nice as well. Cheers ��

1st for the evening with the .204

Well the Gamo .22 is back in it's sweetspot after I mucked around trying various different slugs, gone back to the H&N Slug HP 21g, I would post a pic of tonights possum.....but it's over there folded over the branch I shot it on.....and its dark.....so you'll just have to imagine it 🤣

Dont you hate that. Lost a few in macrocarpa hedges many a time. Do you go for wallabies with your Gamo?

Splash two lizzards.

I bought this RWS Scimitar from GS in Christchurch recently. it needed some love, as the o-rings had all perished. After fixing I took it out on Sunday and got this hare with a kneeling shot from 50M with a JSB exact pellet.

that's a nice looking gun. Obviously accurate. A good pcp must be a joy to shoot.

Took the new 17hmr out today, got this one from 90m. Loving how flat this shoots compared to the .22.

Nice work @Rush! Where's the damage on that wee critter? I had use of a very similar setup a couple of years ago and it was devastating on bunnies! Head shots only if you want to eat them or even keep as much as possible of them for the hounds.
