    nice. i'm thinking about going hmr to. I love the quietness of my fully suppressed 22 but it's a bit weak at any distance, an HMR will allow me to be much lazier haha

    Smiley I've got some work to do to sort the range thing on the scope, but awesome once I came to grips with it, got 15 rabbits and the hare. Probably saw the same # again that I missed or didn't get a shot at. Lots of shots 100 plus, put a suppressor on it and funny how many rabbits ran towards me if I missed first shot. Cocked up got a CZ 452 with a bull barrel, hopeless to shoot off hand just so bloody heavy,
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    it must be nice to have serious range, not have to try to get close and risk them bolting. there are a few spur winged plovers here that could do with being looked at through a scope on a hmr. they always seem to stay at about 100, they closer i get the faster they move away.

    Well done Maca. Good day out.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

    1 Canada Goose after failing to find any deer/pigs . Shot it at 230 yds with the 308 - wasn't much left! Could hear the "thunk" of the hit as it ripped it apart.

    Are these things worth eating? Plenty of em around and I guess I could aim for head/neck so that there's something left :p.

    I hate it cooked as breast, but mixed with a mutton for bangers they are good, have fair few them over here on the coast gives you good day full wandering the river bed shooting them and taking breasts. Makes it better for deer hunting met time with no bloody honkers around to mess it up
