FLATTOP 3,667 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 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. 7 Quote Link to post

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. 1 Quote Link to post

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. 1 Quote Link to post

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! 1 1 Quote Link to post
