BellySlater 15 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Was supposed to be working from home today, managed to crunch through a load shit and decided to pop down to the permission this arvo. Weather here in the midlands is a barmy 18c and sunny so a walk in the fields was spot on. Plenty of bunnies hopping about enjoying the weather so I got myself comfy, switched off the safety and waited. One of the rabbits was a little larger than the others so I had decided that he was the "chosen one". I was watching him in the sights but he kept edging away from me, I slipped into stalking mode and made like a hedge. Got him down to 32-33 yards and lined up the sweet spot. A little squeek from me and he sat up proud. Squeezed the trigger and over he went. Sat and had a cuppa and then headed home, not bad for a one hour round trip - and getting paid for it !

zini 1,939 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Nice write up Whippet, I also agree, the HW looks super cool. The BSA R10, FX Vermineator, HW 100T, BSA Ultra, Theoben SType and FX Royal 400 are among my favourite hunting rifles. Best of luck in the future Zini. Quote Link to post

jackinbox99 41 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Nice shooting! Shame the weather has been totally rubbish around my way this last week or so, so I havent been able to get out shooting much at all. Quote Link to post
BellySlater 15 Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Nice shooting mate and that HW is a pretty gun! i want one but im not sure about the weight of them? do you find it heavy? Zak Hi Zak, To be honest I find it perfect weight wise. It is a little heavier than some but at 6'3 it fits like a glove. All my shooting seems to be free standing on kneeling and so far it's been on the money. I guess it comes down to practice and useage. Thanks for the kind comments guys, tried to upload the picture and do the write up from the field on my iPhone but the new site won't allow it Quote Link to post
