40m kills


Recommended Posts

talking to a guy yesterday who works for the dear conservation trust. i got talking to him about hunting and he said he has a BSA super 10. he said its the best gun he has ever had and drops rabbits at 40 meters YES METERS. I said do you not mean yards. i asked if it was FAC and he said no, bob on 12ft/lbs. does this sound like bollox to anybody else

Depends on caliber, how much he practices with that particular gun out to those distances. The weather conditions play a part. If the wind was non existant and the guy a very competant shot, then he may be able to take out vermin at 40 meters. Is he using a bipod?

Go with Sean on this ...40metres.... NOT recommended for most shooters and most situations with a 12 ft lb.

 

HOWEVER, this is infinitely possible!

 

One site I have has horses and jumps and one jump is almost exactly 40 metres from a ditch/hedgerow where bunnies live. A shooting pal who often comes to this site with me has this totally sorted with his 12 ft lb Rapid Mk 1. Sits behind the horse jump and waits for them to come out...but it's just like target shooting, known distance, quality gun, plenty of support for the gun! and half a dozen head shot dead bunnies every time! :thumbs:

my gun is zerod at 50m and i take bunnies at 70m with ease my gun caliber is .177 this is a range i know i kill bunnies no problem it does some getting used to but its what im used to so it suits me .

 

 

Thats a bold statement to make woodchip if you are using sub 12ftlbs rifle because if you can take rabbits with EASE!!! at 70m im presuming you can then take them at say 100m too!!! you see i can take rabbits at 30m with ease which then gives me the confidence to take a few at 40m if the conditions are right.
