Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Ayup guys been fettling the smk95k .177 this morning then went for a mooch down the permission after putting her back together and the scope on. Got zeroed in no time with falcon accuracy plus but couldnt chrono because of the rain! I got bloody soaked and decided to call it a day after shooting some nice groups and running the internals in a bit after 50 or so shots. Creeping back towards the farm i heard a squirrel doing its guinea-pig noises and got to the tree where it was. About 3 yards away i seen it run round the tree so i took a few more steps to the right and it bolted. It didnt get very far before it stopped, it was about 25 yards so i brought the rifle up and seen it clung to the trunk but only could see its arse end. I knew if i waited it would either keep going or turn round to look for me. It turned and with jts head poking strainght out i slightly held under and released the falcon. With a very resounding smash it dropped to the floor and i knew the pellet had hit its mark.. next to the eye below the ear. Then i left it for the crows/fox and off i went to get dry and make some tea and dry the gun off and give it a good coat of ballistol. Cheers for reading. 1shot 7 Quote Link to post
