    He said they were apparently bastard things on his tomatoes.
    Take one bite, stuff the tomato then bite a other one. Rinse and repeat.
    Told him it wouldnt last long back here if it did that
    smacko jacko is my motto -no excuses kill on sight ! amazing how 40gn of lead /34gm 3"shotgun load is such a permanent contraceptive /behavioural remedy .MD bless his wooly underdaks also swears by the .270!.

    Few bunnies taken of late with the .17HMR. Brilliant little calibre.

    Agreed @Mintie, haven’t looked back since I bought mine. So good in fact, I just got another and threw a thermal on it for night shooting . Let the fun begin !

    Nice little bunny shoot last night by team on a site near Chch. Took mate's 17HMR and my Marlin 795 semiauto 22. Both very accurate rifles and did the job well. Little Marlin semi very clean precise shooter dropping them with ease at 50-80m. 67 bunnies shot in bit over 2.5 hours. We'll do it again in 2-3 weeks time

    I fancied a change from red meat so went out especially for some bunnies, which are pretty uncommon in my area.

    Exactly what was on my shopping list.
    Two mature bucks

    30m off hand head shot on one
    70n elbows on knees neck shot on the other.
    Perfect for meat animals

    Winchester 1885 circa 1910 bored and lined 22 WMR
