Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

18 despatched in Taupo, before a mis function with my rifle, had a round that fired but the powder didn't ignite, put the projectile just in the rifling, next round wouldnt chamber! Lucky lucky lucky! Got the projectile out, bit of a scare another 10 mm and I would have fired a round thru a blocked barrel! Perish the though!
Lot of young ones about

Yep and it bloody horrible!

My count is 5 hares two plovers on sat hahaha

my wife got a possum last nite with her new hmr but the bugger fell onto the hayshed roof n couldn't retrieve it. F%&ken bastard, waste of fur.

Even a hare can't beat me on the 8mm! Running shot, pretty much as I fired I see a huge cloud of white fur drifting back down to earth

Possum trapper and his mate spent 3 nights in the bush and trapped 2 nights, they caught 42 possums. 1.7kg of furry gold.
They lads looked liked drowned rats when picked up. And there were more people up the creek with the stream rising fast.

Jeez Maca, that 17 makes a mess!

Just back from the glorious South Island / Alexandra on my twice yearly rabbit snipe.

160 rounds fired through the Howa 1500 in 223, @120 kills - basically 7/10 shots which isn't bad for real world shooting, on hillsides, lumpy ground, wind blowing and prickles in your hands. Loads of babies running around, not many fully grown buggers.



New PB of 350m with a crosswind, drop of @50cm apparently (although it took 4 shots and the dumb bunny didn't know where the shots were coming from so just hopped around the spot). Rabbit was at 11 o'clock from the barrel in the photo, in the far paddock.

Discovered I preferred Sierra hollow points to soft points, the longer range stuff at 250m was a simple point and click. But then the HP did a lot more damage, more so than VMax and SP - just blew them up basically.

Life is good.

Your boy sure can carry a heavy load, we came out on Sunday before the rains.

The ar223 scope on my wee browning is proving to be a very handy wee package. 14 kills from 14 shots since putting it on last weekend. 1 fallow spiker, 2 pigs, a cat and 10 hares. All shots within 250m so far tho.

These two hares I shot just an hour ago, 1st was head shot at 140m and the 2nd bolted and stopped at 225m and a shoulder shot brought him down. Great fun!

Sweet shot, even sweeter rig! A-bolt?

How accurate do you find the reticule graduations at distance. Do they match your load?
Nice shooting by the way.
