    Went out shooting with my new (to me) CZ452 22 and tested the new Dpt suppressor.

    First victim the big bugger was only about 50yards away, dropped him easily.

    The smaller one was 101yards away, after initially missing him at 125yards I made a new hiding spot on a nice blackberry bush and say him again, got him next to the post and rail fence you can see in the distance. Sorry about the sideways pic.

    .17hmr + decent shot = dead Hare. Definitely the best rimfire for the job IMHO

    Shot 12 pigeons today that are currently living in my neighbour's tree with my 1000 fps. 177 air rifle. Fucking things that they are, shitting all over the place.

    Got me thinking about the best calibre for residential pigeon popping - a suppressed .17 Remington. I reckon a 25gr at around 3800 - 4000fps would be perfect!
