She might be a bit doey Kiwi39

Went for a possum hunt tonight, something I haven't really targeted before. Managed four.

One was spotted climbing a tree so I sent a load of shot at what little I could see of it but nothing dropped. Kept looking up the tree and I see some eyes and fire another round and this little possum drops. We stood around discussing what fell to earth and we thought the possum looked a quite a bit bigger than that. Next thing we hear this rustling and mudgripz does a deft two step and the bigger one land right where he'd been standing.


I must say this mirage ammo goes well on these critters at about 20m. I did find the tongue somewhere but nothing else of the head. Typical Aussies, no brains and all tongue.

Brilliant GM. Yep that's an Aussie for you.

Went for an evening/night shoot with my trusty old Ruger M77/.17HMR with MAE suppressor. I was interested to see how the Led Lenser P7 torch went with their new scope fitting. Summary - P7 just isn't quite long enough or intense enough compared to the M14. Also the zoom doesn't lock and it's easy to accidentally push it in and widen the light beam. The Led Lenser mounting bracket really is shit house! Whilst it's sturdy - it's a pain to clamp on the scope and torch. The worst thing about it is it's too high and bounces light off the end of the suppressor and back into the scope objective and destroys your vision. A waste of $37 and it will be a $1 TradeMe auction before you can say "blinded by the light".
I can't complain as I finished at 10pm with about 35 bunnies and possums ... both cats are already chewing the guts out of one of the bunnies ... what a fabulous evening. Photo shows the height problem of the Led Lenser Scope Mounting Bracket.

I have a much smaller mount for my p7, it works well.

Is that the one with the dual rubber straps that goes over the top of the torch and hooks under a lip?

it has a mount for the scope and a little holder that gets fitted onto the torch
