    Good little hack for improving kill rates on the older style Victor with small steel plate is to glue a bit of alkathene or PVC over it. Slows them down in the kill zone a bit.

    There seems to be a lot of rabbit left after being hit by a 204. The first one I shot with the 220 swift sort of blew up, mind you it's was only 84 metres.

    Put it down to the artistic pose I put them in . . Front one has ears but most of its head is missing, the one behind has its clockwork pushed out thru it's back, range was about 200yrds . . 204 takes no prisoners.

    I can imagine the damage of a Swift at that range . . Brutal

    When I first started with a center fire I used to practices on rabbits to get used to the rifle. Lol soon stopped as 1 thecost of ammo but 2 there was not a lot left when hit by 270 & 243.

    Cheers @Shearer . . . its a Claasic rifle.
    and to think i nearly sold it a few times . . i would have regreted that.
    don't know if you've ever handled one but if your into the whole singleshot thing you will want one, get yourself into the singleshot mindset and they'll be a keeper.

    This trick might help you own more rifles and stop you selling a good rifle off . . when i started looking hard at the amount of varmint rifles i had there were a bunch of .222s, .223s, .204 all in the same performance bracket, the way around that is to give them different jobs. The .204 i don't use a bipod, no suppressor, strictly shooting off a day pack. Sako .222 i put a 6X khales and no suppressor, old school, traditional shooting. Then i have the .223 with alloy chassis, folding stock, suppressed. 22VT full blown custom rifle, .243 for LR work . . its not that i want so many rifles, i need them.
    Same trick with Rimfires !
