    I had a pig dog called Moon with me for company, and even she was like, nah, mate, really, nah.

    In game season now so with a licence and on the wing with a shotty is fine. I have permits for all the properties I shoot on as I can't shoot them with shotguns on most of them due to noise etc.

    Got back from 2 days in the bush chasing Sika with no success, so it was off to the neighbors to secure some casserole ingredients.
    No hares unfortunately, but these will definitely do the job.

    Sure is. Have had this for quite some time now, so pretty familiar with it and it strengths and weaknesses.

    You might also like to ask about the little thermal monocular as well. They would be a pretty formidable combination.

    It's a guide nano n2 25mm, and you are right, it's a formidable combination. Makes it worthwhile heading out for a 30 minute hunt, as I can pretty much find the rabbits, walk straight there, shoot them, and head home.

    First time into this apple block for the year, while the numbers were down in the main block, they have increased on this property.

    It was a crappy day with a cold sou easter and some drizzle but there were still a few rabbits above ground.

    There is a few less to naw on the new trees now.

    The CZ 527 17 Hornet and the 20x Superslam with varmint fine dot ret were on top form today. All but the furthest away were headshots. This combo just makes it too easy!

    The tiny 20gr Vmax at 3700 fps is just nasty, the bone crunching sound of a headshot has to be heard to be believed.

    Hey GWH, are you still running the unmodified bolt handle on your CZ? I love those rifles but that bolt handle can make scope mounting a bit tricky, just wondering if you had modded it..

    Hey, the bolt handle on mine is stock as far as im aware.

    Im running a scope with a 50mm objective and as you can see in my pics its as low as i can possibly get it before it touches the barrel.

    I dont think the handle clears the eye box by much but i havnt had any issues using it at all.

    I love this CZ527 (my first) and would be keen on getting another. Im keen to do a 20 Practical or a small 6mm cartridge on the 7.62x39/Grendel bolt face.
