    He's stuck in the hills getting a wet arse Rushy. I have a video I took today of some long range hares shot with the .22 but I might leave it to your imagination cause you might not see them with those old eyes.

    nice one. may i suggest an hmr?
    shooting things at 100 with an hmr is roughly the same as shooting things at 30m with a 22 on the difficultly scale. Taking shots like that at 100+ with the 22 are roughly as difficult at say a 300m target if you catch my drift.
    If i could have a full time job shooting pests i'm up for over time.

    The hare that was shot in the video was found here and shot from the top of that fence line.

    For close to the same cost in ammo as a 223 why would you bother with a hmr?

    Because you want SOMETHING left over to eat.

    Yeah 17hmr open up fast alright, but in my experience the 17 grain round only destroys the head/neck with a good shot even if front on. .223 tends to destroy everything in the flight path of the bullet. I.e a frontal shot results in rabbit fertiliser
