good numbers round here at the moment , the farm hands had 100 odd rabbits with shotguns the night before we went and they didnt pick up one ??!!!!

 

Some just see it as shooting and vermin control, they just leave them were they drop...Its a waste to me.

 

Only had 1 with mixy from the full lot. thought it might of hit them harder.

we get a quid a pop round here , 100 notes is a 100 notes in my eyes and by the sounds of it they wasnt that good shots either so must of cost em a fortune.

 

we have just started to see mxyi round here now but nothing like the last couple of years.

Ha Ha, some do, and visit their sites more often and keep them under control, I don't have anywhere I can take that many in a night because the land is managed properly!

:D this is a dairy farm on a massive sporting estate thats heavily keepered, they don't have time for rabbiting most of the time and the access is poor..Even more so during the summer months, due to animals grazing. Thats where I come in and reap the bounty, anywhere else I hammer all year round, using every means possible.. Your more than welcome to come and show me how to manage somewhere properly :D Need to get a tin hat smiley.. :angel:

      Hello all.?
      Just an update as it has been a while.I have been looking for a subsonic .22LR hollow point that shoots well from a cold clean bore and have recently started using RWS subs which do well, typically from the first shot..I have used a few different brands of subsonic H.P.s and they all group quite well after 5 or so fouling shots, but RWS like the cold clean bore,needless to say I am a happy and for me, decent shooting.?.I have used the RWS before in the old Annie 1416 DG and it was equally consistent in that rifle.
      A couple of typical below all from a cold clean bore..My scope is a Hawke Vantage x2 -x7 32mm A.O. with illuminated reticle which is a great field scope but lacks magnification for target shooting so is sometimes difficult to deduce if a shot has been pulled, but I love the scope.
      Have a good weekend all.?

      Well I got 2 unused table clamps and a need for stability. 
      Cant afford the new style tripods <on furlough pay>,so I thought make your own. So drill n tap m10x1.5 in the base of said bracket .
      Cut 2 pieces 7.5x3.5cm steel plate and fix to clamp .Drill hole and fit split pin to stop wind out in turnscrew. Then cut leather patches to fit and bond with contact adhesive, allowing 24 hours  to cure and Bob's your job.
      Stable, free and hands free atb

      Friday night thought i,d have a pre pheasant delivery fox mooch .Pardnv 007 on a Hawke Vantage 3-12x50 on top of a cz452 in,22.l/r but with CCI segs in for mr charles .
      Also my spanish pal wanted some bunnies for the b,b,q <his fault the weather,s gone pooh>so the segs  do both ,set off about 10.30pm in squalid dirty patchy fog but i thought helps me to hide and the thermal spotter keeps mr charles in view .4 frustrating hours later old charley boy is a no show so back to the car i stomp.
      Suddenly a suicidal rabbit just pops up from his hole and stares at this big lump in the fog ,well at 10yds even this blind old blinker couldnt miss ,the Pard,s clear unfuzzy picture is sweet and no 1 is bagged after gutting . A nice size buck <meal for 2 > carry on plodding .
      Across the meadow towards the gate a small blobb is being chased by a horny blobb so i put the rifle up and the doe is no 2 for the bbq .Gutted and bagged back to the car i trots.
      Wish id got this sooner its far superior to Photon and sony camera or hawkes own monocular for image quality and range atb and good hunting

      Got chance to test Gavs balls this afternoon! That sounds all wrong!!
      The balls Gav kindly cast and sent me I mean.
      I used an old sign that's lay in the grass for years. Take a look and I will explain.

      I was aiming for the P at 30yds.
      The two shots close to the P and the shot just above them two were the best load chain today. The high one was the aiming, I was seeing to much barrel and the following two responded perfectly to my adjusted hold.
      The other three were a different load and unsatisfactory.
      In saying that the sign easily represents a small deers chest and all six shots would of killed a deer!
      With the good load I should be able to hunt rabbit with.
      Here is the reverse side of the target.

      I love this fusil, it has a fast lock and gets good speed up.
      Got some squirrel with shot too.

      Cheers  Gav, now I know it's worth getting a mould.
