    What's your top 2 favorite items you take varminting?

    Outside of your firearm and boxes of ammo - what's your top 2 favorite things you go on vermin patrol.
    It could be a serious item like survival equipment. It might be something simple like sun screen.
    I'm really interested as I'm sure there will be some things that might surprise us all ... and some things I might need to buy !!
    Here's mine ... my Harris Bipod and my Leica 10X25 Ultravid's. Have some fun with this ... cheers PJ

    My bum bag that neatly carries ammo, knife, survival blanket, allen key, radio and a couple of spare batteries. The bag cost a whopping $5.

    Next most important would be two slightly modified (aspheric lens and smooth reflector) torches. Buy UltraFire WF-501B Cree R2-WC 250-Lumen LED Flashlight Black (1*18650/2*CR123A)
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Jesus, you love these two item things!!

    Since it's a long time between shots I like to have to have the local phone sex number on hand. That kills the two bird thing, phone and credit for it.

    Hey Wirehunt ... I do because I know that I'm a creature of habit and I always have my 'go to' things. I want to know what other people have as theirs.
    I was expecting someone to say condoms and KY ... I think your comment will be the closest.

    Oh wait I have 2, and some times I shoot steel plates for variety.

    One with a suppressor and one with a loudner. One for each hand even!!!!! And a couple more waiting in bits. Only problem is I lent my brother my VX3 for his .223 and he 1 5 on the other is not exactly a varmint scope.

    But my favorite accessory for varminiting is my mates Beta Mag
    No need to adjust your shooting position to reload cause you don't have to, Reload that is!!!!!!!!!!

    You misunderstand, Its not that you shoot anymore rounds at the pasky varmints just you only have to load once and it doubles as rest.

    Seriously you only try it once and the novelty wears off which is why i have never brought one. Actually I am becoming more interested in shooting at things further and further away. Hence my question in another thread

    Might be some stuff for sale soon

    #1 - Video camera, everyone loves seeing small critters exploding at range, the 204 was good for that sort of carry on.

    #2 - Vehicle, I hate walking to shoot varmints, drive, see something, stop, shoot, drive

    #1 - Shit load of ammo so I don't need to aim, just spray and prey.

    #2 - Good mate to talk shit to and give heaps for missing, plus they usually better at spotting than I.
