Hey time out how long have you had that Cooey?
My dad had one just like it. Never got to shoot it but would like to know how it goes?

4 starlings from tractor shed:)
I met a Guy who had it for years and wanted it to go to a good home - I stripped it and it came up real nice
Longest shot so far was about 5m - about as far as I can see without a scope - I never stick it through the wire KH - let the pill find it way past the wire
River not fishable so time for long range varmitting:D
Hare spotted

Okay - It's been a while ... been stupidly busy with work but have managed a couple of vermin chasing trips in the last few months. Enjoy ...
You guys know I love my .22Lr sub shooting - this was a fab evening in the Waikato. Check out the head shots.

I managed to get away with the family skiing in Wanaka AND took the .204 (plus the .17HMR) but I was mainly the spotter as my son took over pest control. What a joy to see his shooting improve over the week.
Isn't it wonderful what a fabulous kiwi farmer will let you do when you show some respect, mind your manners ... & put a dozen beers in his wool shed. Champagne shooting! Best was a magpie at 265 yards.
Looks like my son took a leak on the door?!?!

Then we headed to Tekapo and as we chased better weather ... once again my 18yo son was on the trigger. Over 3 afternoons after skiing, we shot maybe 150 rabbits on this hillside just beyond the scrub heading up the slope where I was allowed 20-30? Oh to have a steady hand and keen eyes.
Most shots around 240 yards - his longest was 416 yards - I just love my Kimber Sport Varmint. The evenings were filled with my 16 year old daughter driving the Landrover as we spotlighted another 50+ with the HMR.
Heaven in Otago & the Mackenzie basin!!!

50-60 wabbits shot this evening with the semi autos - good shooting but wish the wind would drop so i could go LR
55 shot in 2 hrs casual walking, a lot of young ones about, man they are stupid at that age. Never seen the place (Cromwell ) so green, looks like the Waikato ( shudder )
Chewing through ammo, wind up to much for LR here also.
