A bit of a wander

[FLATTOP 3,665]

I had a walk out yesterday to mainly zero in my rimfire as it’s not been that accurate lately but stuck a couple through at 100 yards and it seemed to be shooting ok there was a wonky one to the left but my fault I fluffed it, was quite windy as well Remington .17 down my Cz452.

Got that sorted and I couldn’t  resist a shot at a pheasant good size as well he’s all sorted for a nice roast tomorrow.

It was an afternoon walk I see several rabbits and a Fox as well the rabbits I’m going to have to get over with my air rifle and have a lay up and be patient it’s a tight bit of land to shoot, but I much prefer just wandering about.

Still nice to be out for a few hours.

Except driving round with it on the top of the dashboard.

Au contraire....I prefer on foot.

ok if you want to cover some ground then yes but you will miss something while your driving!

No , that's not hunting. Must be on foot for the real experience.

Yes I shot it’s neck at about 40/50 yards I was feeling confident after just zeroing the rifle and was going to go for an head shot but thought better of it and lowered my shot slightly it dropped immediately.

It’s funny because I used to read your old posts dismissing the Mouse gun and I new with the hunting you do it would be perfect, I’ve owned my one for about 12 years it’s a keeper.

The mice are quite big round my way lol  

and don’t start I know what it is

My bias to be honest was based on a single range session and a box of 50 17gn bullets which felt very uninspiring! I made an ass of myself assuming.....again!

It's great seeing them face to face. They always have that look of absolute contempt for you while they await their demise!

Fast little buggers every time I’ve been ratting when they make a break you see grown burly men make girly noises
