mikeyblue 28 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hi Lads, Just got in from a rather pleasent evening out stalking. Arrived on permission at about 1900hrs, parked, loaded the R10, checked zero and I was away. It was a nice evening out with a slight breeze, so I made sure I was down wind of the 'hotspots'. I could see a few bunnies grazing at about 100yds. I stalked low and slow, but they looked a bit twitchy so settled for about 35yds. I lay prone utilising the bipod, allowed for windage and holdover, picked a nice 3/4 grown, and sent the pellet on its trajectory to its target. It struck home nicely in the kill zone. Stalking to the next warren I could see a lot of kits grazing in the evening sun. Now, Im not a fan of taking kits, but under the instructions of the farmer to get the numbers down, I shot two in quick succesion. Again about 35yds, dropped one, reloaded, and dropped the other. The R10 really is quiet with the Weihrauch silencer on. It has allowed me a few follow up shots so far this year. I decided to lye in position, a slight dip in the ground 30yds from the warren. I waited a further 20 mins and picked off a couple of adults. A few pics. All in all a pleasent evening out with 3 bunnies for the pot, and 2 kits for the ferrets. Kind Regards, Mikey.

pianoman 3,589 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi Mikey. Great write up and great shooting mate. You seem to be right at home with the R10 now, after letting the TX200HC go. All the best mate. Simon Quote Link to post
Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hiya Mickey. Some nice shot placement there mate, good shooting. The pictures of the permission look nice. Ferrets are going to be happy too ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post
mikeyblue 28 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) Cheers Simon, Yes the R10 is a lovely rifle, and fits me like a glove, and is doing a great job of filling the game bag But........ I am missing the TX200HC!! I will definately own one again in the future. Thanks Bill, Sadly have let the ferts go to a mate off here. I cant give them the time they deserve due to work commitments. But I did treat them to a kit last night as a good bye meal Kind Regards, Mikey. Edited May 21, 2011 by mikeyblue Quote Link to post
