Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

A lot of those old guns made from hand finished solid steel parts will still be enjoyed by your childrens children. Not so much for the alloy, stamped,pressed or plastic parts built rifles of today that are built to a price rather than built for a purpose.

Classic rifle FatLabrador - must be nice to be able to use Granddad’s rifle
I remember one of those very well - I was 16 and Mum hated me having a gun - Dad loaned me his De Soto to go out and get some bunnies for cat tucker - we got back to the car after dark - I took the mag out of my Gevarm - (so it was safe) - my Mate worked the pump about 15 times on his Winchester and climbed in the passenger seat beside me with the barrel up near the roof - he pulled the trigger - boom - right beside my ear - many ringing noises for a while
Went home and confessed to Dad - he said - for Christ sake we won’t tell Mum - he took the car to the panel shop next day and they hammered in the uplift, filled it with bog and painted the roof - there was a burn mark on the ceiling upholstery for the next ten years
Sadly - my Son won’t want any of my firearms

Maybe you should take something other than your long range 22 then

One unlucky plover vs 223 - not much competition I'm afraid.

Those shit Houser birds are as weak as piss, the hmr tears them to ribbons and even my sub 22 usually makes their wings fall off when you hit them dead centre

yes agree, i drilled one with the hmr as well. cut it in half nearly. Also deleted a magpie with the hmr, the bird was in a tall tree near me so shooting angle was about 50deg. the pill entered mid body and literally blew it's entire back out like a hatch but that's probably more to do with the hmr than bird anatomy
