    Got another little bugger with the 17, hit him just right of his head. The bullet made such a mess of the front half I had to cut it off, although I manage to salvage the back front leg.
    Made rabbit stew for tea last night. Was excellent and so easy, wish there was more leftovers so I could've then made a pie.

    I think I'll try roasting or rabbit pie next time.
    I'm confused..what is a back front leg???

    Back from the front leg?

    That stopped them Smidey. Well done.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That wasn't an easy target that one, he was under a small gorse bush and due to a ridge I could see him with my head up but when I looked through the Scopes could only see his ears so sent it through the grass and was lucky enough to get it.
    If i could have a full time job shooting pests i'm up for over time.

    Tried the new 42gr's. Boy do they put them down!
