no worries there @viper . . . i was firing over them to the next hill over

the blast/pressure from the break ( Das LOUDNER ) certainly gets your attention . . not sure if its a good idea yet vrs a suppressor for varminting but for a $100 off @Timberwolf ( cheers ) its worth a try

I've never used a muzzle break and have never really had a rifle recoil wise that needed one but I am certainly a fan of suppressors, quiet is good.

my theory is that the less recoil the less disturbance to the rifle . . so more accuracy/precision

Just a quick cut and get the intestines and stomach out rough and ready don't worry about the chest cavity, then hang em up overnight like Dundee suggests

Another midnight disturbance of the peace out side my bedroom window

Another smelly pest on a recent walk with the mighty 4.26Lb 22 Terminator



He actually didn't taste too bad......for a Billy Goat

You Troll

Took the mighty new stocked stirling on the way to the river.Pinged a magpie from here where Bo fetched it.

Bringing it back.

And under the fence and back on the quad proud as punch!

Victim of a frustrated deer stalker.

Got a couple magpies with the new Ruger 10/22 yesterday, there were 2 in a tree about 30 yards away I shot the first one and it was instant death, the second one buggered off about 150 yards away, I thought I'll see if I can call him back in with a distress call.
Nothing to loose hit the old youtube on my phone and shit as soon as I started playing the distress call within seconds he was back almost on top of us it was almost like it was irresistible for him.
We were standing out in the open, he'd just seen us shoot the other one but he came right back within 20 for his dose of lead.
I have heard of magpies coming in to distress calls but never tried it, can confirm it works very effectively.
Sorry no pics just thought I'd share my story

Me too, someone very wise once told me never pass up an animal at the beginning of the hunt that you would be happy with at the end, I think this is relevant especially to meat hunters.
Hey most people, me included would love a crack at a nice stag, hell I'd be happy with a 10 or even an 8 pointer. I would then happily live out the rest of my days shooting hinds/spikers/goats and anything else tasty that has the misfortune of crossing my sights when there's room in the freezer.
A goat if not too old is still food in the freezer and actually pretty good eating.
Good hunting

This one never made it to the freezer although I have no problem with good goat meat. I had thought about it as I made my way over to it but when I could smell him 10m away I changed my mind. He was a cull only.
I had just spent the best part of a day exploring a very good looking new area but came across very little deer sign.
