    Some interesting comments on this subject. Is all I can say is I shoot 10 000 rabbits a year as a pest controller and up until the new look winch esters came out there were certainly less bullets passing through. If head shot they don't seem to pass through, they sometimes ricochet but the hard whack report normally means the shot has been absorbed. I try not to shoot in the guts as this is not only in humane but being a softer area a 40 gr slug can pass through. The shots I've noticed passing through more than before are neck/ shoulder placements where there is enough bone to cause the bullet

    I use about 12-15000 22lr rounds a year as a pest controller and in my experience I would keep away from semi action and get a bolt action rifle. like the other guys say a cz is a good rifle and being common there are plenty about second hand . I have an Anschutz 1417 and it was used when I got it and I have put at least 20,000 rounds through it and it still spot on. unlike a 17hmr your 22lr doesn't burn out so they generally last a long time. good luck with your searching, and try and use a few before hand if you can so you get use to the feel of a certain rifle.

    thanks for feedback guys. my rifle is spot on with the Winchesters and it don't like anything else so i'll stick with them. good backstop puts pay to any that are not expanding, also shot a few doubles when one rabbit sat in front of another so two for the price of one cant be moaned about.

    hi, any you guys experiencing the newer Winchester x 22 subsonic rounds going straight through rabbits even at 60-70 yd range. also had the odd one now and then make a loud crack like a hyper velocity round. i'm using 1000 rounds a month so I don't think its a dodgy batch. be interested to hear of any others noticing a difference.

    i look after 4000 acres and shoot a lot of pigeons all year,i'll let pigeons build on any crop to get confident and commited and then hit them hard. the farmer knows this works as dead pigeons don't eat anything and my average bag being 100 + and 3500 last year. before i took on the shooting the farmer let quite a few people have a pop at them and the end result was not many being shot and pigeons becoming very wary of decoys etc. people passing today would see pigeons on some of the fields but this does not mean that they will not be dealt with in due course. the farmer if approached by willi

    i got a d4 navara and had it from new. straight from the showroom with road tyres it did 33 mpg average, it currently has all terrain tyres fitted and the mileage down to 27. 5 year warranty sounds good though, i wish i had that with the navara because after 3 years abuse driving round fields a lot of things have bust on it. i always see wich 4x4 the farmers use because they drive both off and on road,also they tow a lot so if it good enough for them then it sold to me as well.

    good choice mate, a very reliable gun wich i can not fault. the only downside to using any semi auto is picking the shells up after a days shooting, if only they didn't fly so far from the hide!

    Thats the kind of info I wanted and the reason I went for the maxus. Ive stripped them both sx3 and maxus and the maxus is a very similar gun and the same breed so I should be ok. What cartridge do you mainly use? for pigeons i only ever use rc tittano. i've used other loads and makes and it cycles every time
