rick12345 181 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Was ill prepared for the icy wind, so went home after this one. It was a big bugger, at nearly 12", not counting the tail. 4 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Jesus Rick, that's a big ol' rat I've shot a few lately but none were that big. Next time you're out, make sure one doesn't walk up behind you and tap you on the shoulder Quote Link to post

Tried the atn x-sight 2 first, but wasn't impressed. Couldn't get the right eye relief with the impact rail, plus it was about a foot above the barrel, making holdover a nightmare. Rats are easier if you do a bit of recon during daylight, so you roughly know your ranges. 1 Quote Link to post
