zini 1,939 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) Hi guys, After watching Gary and Darryl shoot bunnies last night while I lamped for them I felt that I needed to get out and have a little shoot myself today. Yesterday I took the Tasco scope off the R10 and the SAK silencer and gave them a good clean prior to putting the Tasco back on and adjusting my eye relief a little. I decided that I was not going to refit the SAK silencer as I wanted the rifle to be at its lightest and at the carbine length that it was designed to be. After a bit of rough science I could tell that the R10 was quite at 20 metres without the silencer fitted so at 30 metres it would be very quite, so no need to fit the extra 6 inches to the barrel. Later that day I took the rifle in the indoor range and Darryl adjusted me on to my zero range hitting 2 drawing pins straight after each other at 30 metres. This morning I took my terrier out and the R10 for a little mooch. After about 10 minutes I came across this fat woody just hanging around in a big old tree. I didn’t want to get too close as there were no leaves on the tree and it would have seen me and flew off. I rested against another tree and lased the woody with my GunTuff LRF to see it sat at 42 metres. I knew that at 40 metres I need to give 2 mil dots hold over to hit a target cleanly. I gave the woody just over 2 mil dots to compensate for the extra 2 metres and slant range to the target, placing the scope aiming point on the bird’s heart before squeezing the trigger and releasing the second stage with a crisp release. CRACK, the 16 grain FX pellet hit its mark knocking the woody straight out the tree onto the floor. The bird was dead before it hit the floor. On retrieval I noted that woody had been hit in the heart, hence the quick death . Thank goodness that the curse of the Gothic Angel as now been lifted and I’m back to my old ways . Here are the photos taken back at my house before i breasted the woody and added it to my chicken chaseur that im having later. Si Edited February 14, 2010 by zini Quote Link to post
