Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Four bunnies today in windy conditions. Two at 100m and two at about 30m. The 30m ones were a bit silly - both came running out from behind a hill and came to a screeching halt when they saw me, where they stayed nice and still!
Here's three of them.

The two 30m dummies:


100m shot:

Good stuff. Looks like a nice light rifle.

Looks can be deceiving haha

Took the family out last night and we had a BBQ on the hill after dispatching a few hares. 17Hornet let me down on the first one as it took 2 shots and only hit it in the shoulder but to be fair I haven't checked it after it fell out of the gun cabinet and on to the floor(carpet). So back in the box and out with the 250. The 75g eldm were taking heads off left right and centre. Beer Stix and back steaks will be on the menu soon enough

Back out for another walk looking for a some victims. The Fox 222 taking 5 for the evening...here's a few of them.

@charliehorse nice shooting there mate, what sort of distances?

150-220m @#the creeper, was hoping to stretch the legs abit more but nothing really presented for longer range. Really wana beat my PB. Was funny because I cleaned the barrel before we left and the first shot I took it flew well high and the wife gave it to me. Meant to fire off a fouler before we left home doh But after that first shot everything went where it was supposed to. Your 222 is a sweet looking rig, what projectile you using?

Went for a quick walk last night around a lifestyle block I've just got access to. Neighboring properties are close enough to make me a little nervous, and consequently very cautious, so I decided to try the CCI Quiet Segmented through the 10/22. They certainly lived up to their name, I was impressed with the low volume, and the knowledge that the chances for overshooting were greatly reduced.

It took a few shots to get used to the extra holdover compared to the CCI subs I zeroed with, and of course it turns the 10/22 into a straight-pull, but overall I'd definitely run them again in similar circumstances.

Took out 5 in a 10-minute walkaround before the wind became too much of a concern and I pulled the pin. 3 of them were pregnant does though, so I'm counting them as 30 rabbits

Sparrows for me lately. Little buggers have been sitting and shitting on my balustrades. Also seem to be displacing the population of Waxeyes and fantails.

Good target practice at 25-30m with an air gun.

Bought a T1x last week in 17HMR. Took it to the farm with my hunting buddy (same bubble) and sighted it in. Went for a wander and let him 'blood' it, firstly on a non native pidgeon, then on a pair of magpies, followed by a couple of rabbits...........then I used it to deal to a wild cat.....He finished off the wander by taking this............



Fast forward to today and he just ordered himself a T1x in 17HMR..........going to pick it up shortly

Another 2 pests removed.

17hmr ammo hard to come by, every round count.

90 yd easy target, no wind.
