Thread: Film 41: Long Range Rimfire Rabbits

I went for a walk this evening between rain showers, and shot some "long range" rabbits with my custom Savage MkII .22LR - "long range" in this case being between 60 and 150 metres. Film:

Spot looks familiar

Those drone shots are interesting, look like a third person game.

I think so, yeah. You can see an exit/ricochet on another one too - surprising that a .22 subsonic has enough oomph left to exit at 120+ metres

Very topical. Dropped in at the Sister-In-Laws and they had a 22 projectile that had just been removed from the cats tail. My pick by the flat spot on one edge of the base and the good mushroom on the front is that the it had gone through a rabbit ricocheted and lodged in the cat who was stalking the same rabbit.

This is the exact reason I've dropped some additional dollars on the CCI Subsonic segmented rounds. The segments don't fly too far / well, after hitting something compared to a 40gn lump of lead.
