Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Rossi .45LC using 230grn. LEE soft lead bullet at 960fps . . . a fun gun to take out for some old school shooting

.45lc????

set up a couple of those fenns inside a trap box with a crust of bread and an orange ping pong ball last week,in the back section 5 yards from the dog kennels...so far 3 hedge hogs and a very ugly rat with scabby tail and funky cauliflower ears.

no real advantage.....45grn vs 42grn but if you own and use a magnum .22 you quite possibly dont own a .22lr,the 22lr is definately cheaper to feed,it would be interesting to hear how quiet the magnun subs are without suppressor...Ive taken to using my .22lr bare with subsonics,the noise is quiet enough that I dont think I will bother with suppressor on the rimfire again.

Finally got a chance to go for a walk with the 22lr AR again - mopped up a few bunnies. I have decided the holosun works really well for the farms I shoot on as they have alot of small hills and often you turn a corner and they are 20m away. Also the 22 ar is just so fun to shoot.

Good size Norway @Sideshow - the Fenn is an ugly killing machine
I soured a lot of trap bait by putting one in the end of a culvert for a rabbit - it makes a mess of a hog if you don’t get back to it in a day or so - I hate getting a hog out of a Fenn 6

Yep I'm just glad they have the little safety catch. Hate to get me fingers in the road

Been a bit slack on posting lately.
Couple of hares last night at mid range...any where between 20 and 200yards

More dust in the boot from the gravel road.

Ready to go after hanging on the clothes line all night.
Back steaks.

And back legs.

Good night on the Hares bout an hour with my son on the spotlight, 8 in total (1 already processed in the bag) taken with the 22 average range 50 yards or less all but 1 head shot.

Might have to hit @Dundee up for some hare recipes got a freezer full of back legs and a bag of back steaks to eat now

Its nice to see hares being put to good use, so much tasty meat on them.

Its a mates, im very impressed with it, it shoots very small groups at 100 yards, I have a Savage classic 17hmr and i think i'll be upgrading to the T1x, great 10 round mag in the Tikka too.

Here's a few from when I managed to get out for a walk on Saturday in the 30+ degree heat, surprisingly there were still a few about.

And a couple more from my place during the week - you can tell it's at home because the cheeky bloody cat's already licking its chops after rolling all over it!!
