A stroll with the rimfire..

[Yokel Matt 918]

A fantastic afternoon here in the West Country so i went for a stroll to pick up some BBQ food. Seven rabbits for seven shots and some nice bbq sized ones as well. I had to cut it short as there were some roe does dozing in the sun and i didn't want to disturb them, plus they were starting to get heavy and i was gasping for a bbq beer

 

There are three in this pic from a bit of a Clint Eastwood style fast shooting

Hi mate there was an nice one around late Nember but i haven't seen him around for a while. Rumour has it that some dogs have been run in the area so i'm hoping he's just 'on holiday' elsewhere. I took a nice young buck at the same ground last Friday (my first!) so i'm hoping the does mark territory and draw some more in as the shootable area of the farm only boils down to about 50 odd acres.

Hi bud, rabbits are good on the barbi but you need to keet it moist - 3/4 grown are best - avoid using the old-timers or your jaw will go and teeth wear out before you get trough the fibers

Hi mate,

 

The Meopta is on my 'long-tom' stalking rifle. German quality glass and engineering for a lot less money (although if you did pay the extra for a SB or Swaski-job you would notice the difference ) They have a very fine reticule which some people don't like but its more that adequate for my needs
