    Tactical Rabbit Gun

    This was a rainy day project a few days ago from various spare parts lying around:

    Last years model Ruger 10/22
    ATI adjustable stock
    Ruger BX-25 magazine
    Bipod fore-grip
    Slip-on silencer (I prefer them to the screw-ons and the factory sights are preserved)
    2 x 2000 lumen focusing CREE LED U2 torches
    Aries Warrior 330 Night Vision Scope with 3x magnification
    Infra Red focusing torch on top for total darkness hunting.


    The rabbits are getting a bit light-shy where I go varminting so I thought I would see how well the night vision works instead. I couldn't help adding the other torches as well though.

    I'll try it out over the weekend. The pistol grip has a storage compartment which will hold about three cigarettes or a packet of chewing gum. Maybe I'll put a couple of extra bipods on the sides in case I need to use it tilted 90 degrees for some reason.

    Ahh, so you can do gangsta-style shooting at long range!

    Free standing pistol grip and high capacity magazine makes it an evil black gun right?

    Yup it's E cat, but I can make it in A cat if anyone wants one. Dragunov stock with click-together Butler Creek magazines (3 x 10 rounds) and cheaper scopes. Remaining rifles are all Stainless Steel, with Take-down models available too. The Dragunov stock doesn't have all the extra rails that the ATI stock has, but bits can still be barrel-clamped and you still get a legal A cat with pistol grip.

    Nice bit of kit, all practical application add ons.

    Watch Monty Python's 'The Holy Grail' to see why you need you have this sort of bunny firepower.
