    Took the little model 7 223 for a midday wander while away on a weekend hunting trip, pinged a few goats up fairly close including this wide old boy

    Total newbie here. Got my first bunny yesterday. Neck shot from 50 yards using a 10/22 with 4x scope. From a kneeling position, reticle floating all over the head area... hoping to get a bit more precise in the future!

    A hog in a cage every night lately on the estuary – ferrets have finished so the hogs have taken over – once a hog has been in a trap they just keep on coming – the neighbour has been shooting the ferrets for me but his wife is pissed about him shooting hogs – so I had to shift the cage and bring them home in a bag – the .22 air rifle is hopeless if they are rolled up – so had to get the Unique out for a breath of fresh air – just starting to see hog shit on the lawns – so they are making a comeback – cage No2 out tonight - we are trying to get the Quail back. Why are people fascinated with hogs around their gardens?

    First pest shoot for the season with mudgripz and another mate. The virus had been through earlier in the year and hammered the rabbits. We saw more rabbits this trip than last, but still mostly hares. Boy the hares were generally flighty. We managed 13 which wasn't too bad.

    Bloody good tucker. Send the left overs up to Dundee for a Tomato Sauce bath.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Oh, you see I am just a very modest eater that generally stops at seconds and seldom has thirdsies so for me there would be at least some leftovers from 13 hares. Not much though.

    Hi All, I had just returned from the shop with my Savage B22, it was with the importers to cure the extracting and ejecting, I refitted the Pard NV008 back on and sighted it in. it was shooting good groups,so I want for a walk to the rear paddock powered it up and looked along the gorse, nothing to see here, almost gone but looked in the shadow and saw the ears twitch, shifted to the left pushed the button and from 6.5x to 13x and there was a bunny, worked the bolt and sighted, bang one flip and that was it, a dead bunny. Taking the B22 back, not ejecting every time, pity I like the gun. but I get to buy another. Happy Days
