    Maybe. But .22lr may not have a lot of stopping power at that distance.

    And .22 lr is zeroed in at 70 yrds
    Shot 3 today between farms up too 100yards.
    Then went out to my sisters place and shot 6 maggies from 10 shots. Their deck and yard is covered in magpie shit as they have no firearms.

    Geez Dundee nice goingUsed to be a couple of big mobs around here but the .22 and cci subs have taken 95% of the buggers out. I walk outside now and hear a alarm squark and they are gone Usally go into a big area of pines which you really cant get a bead on them. Just picked up a .17 hmr with heavy barrel and once i work out a good zero I can go for the longer shots. Thinking a suppressor will be needed though due to the loud crack it makes.

    I have mine about an inch high at 75 yds. For the small stuff you just aim a touch low inside that but for anything bigger I hold at the Base of the neck out to about 130 and it falls over.

    I've been smashing them with my hmr and its very effective. I usually get them in the gum tree but after a bang from the hmr they move to the pines a little further away but due to the elevation I can still aim straight at them so usually get two ever time the mob comes in. Oddly they aren't coming here much anymore, they aren't to stupid
