The way some of those hits show up through the thermal is a bit eye-opening at times. Hot matter everywhere.. :O_O:
What thermal are you using?Quote:

Yep, like that vid or this one, particularly from after the 1min 15s mark- https://vimeo.com/166310851 (not me shooting, but some of the same country and suspects..)
Or in fact this video, being the exact same rig - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2ddXVnMn5s
They can still hide behind tussocks and long grass, but if there's anything directly visible, it'll get the highlighter treatment.
so the idea of a pest free environment in the future is only a few $5K to $7K scopes away :)
Out with @mudgripz and another mate last night to knock over a few pests on a farm. Bit challenging with the high winds but the shooting in the more sheltered areas was good. We accounted for 30 critters, mainly hares and rabbits but I did nail 1 cat.

One rabbit was absolutely smashed. Inside the skin was basically just the spine, nothing else. A slit top and bottom with the spine and nothing! :O_O:

Went to check the zero on my 7mm08ai with 160gr Tipped Matchkings and these two made the mistake of coming to watch.
A quick range - 381yds - dial 1.3mils

The zero looks rough enough to me.Quote:

Out yesterday in Central with the old man. 70 odd between us plus a cat. He shot two pure white rabbits with consecutive shots. Haven't seen bugger all whites before. Not an ideal gene for them to have, they stand out like dogs balls :pacman: Plenty of young ones running around.
Tried out some CCI Stingers today on my zero for 42gr subsonic winchesters. For all the hot air and bluster they werent killing them any deader than the subs. Might put the bipod on and try them out a bit further. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b32435a285.jpg
