    Last weekend, got some time to go for a walk that turned into a great hunt. Personal best with the 17 HMR at 182 mtrs. Slowly stretching it out. Strange rifle, shoots like shit if clean but is a tack driver once barrel is dirty.
    Handy that as I hate cleaning guns all the time
    I shot 57 for the afternoon, actually ran out of ammo in the end . I was going to post another picture of dead rabbits but I have done that plenty lately so thought I would post something different, the North Island boys in particular may find it interesting.
    Yep that's rabbit shit and only a small area, the whole paddock is like it. Gives you an idea of numbers and this even has some green grass in the photo. Once summer hits it's just brown, dusty and covered in Rabbit poo.
    The paddock has a healthy population but not crazy.Name:  rabbit poo.jpg

    yep a 917, an older model that's not produced anymore. Semi bull fluted stainless barrel. Doesn't have the new style trigger either so it's had a trigger job done as it was terrible before.
    All in all not a bad rifle.

    Mate, they're awesome. Mine was super accurate when fouled up. Only ever pulled a snake through and it stayed a tack driver. My mate cleaned it when he bought it and it took ages to foul up and regain it's tack driving status.

    That looks like plague proportions of rabbits.
