Went out tonight on the prowl for bunnies on my permission, with my N550 mounted on top of my CZ .22 varmint. The scope was zero'd last night indoors at my local club (25m only). I could see eye shine from the built in IR at 90 paces. MMmmm no wonder I missed. I severely underestimated the range on that one. After an hour and a half of wandering around in the big fields and 3 misses later, and feeling just a little cheated by the scope, I went into the rear paddocks. 5 minutes of waiting, and I had my 1st kill of the evening. a 35 pace (~30m)head shot that made rather a mess. After scaring everything off withing 200m due to the noise I was making collecting the kill, I left that field alone and wandered through the stable barn. Turning on tne scope and IR I scanned a hedgerow 35m away - eyeshine. One shot and one bunny back flip later, another kill. 10 minutes I spent looking for that rabbit. I found it after 10 mins. other side of the hedge. I found 2 'lost' tennis balls the land owner had lost though. A cuppa and chat with the land owner later, I came out of his kitchen into the dark and waited for the eyes to used to the dark again. Turned on the scope and IR, and scanned his garden. Eyeshine and 2 lovely bunnies sitting there watching me. One decided to fall over after being hit with the Eley 40gr hollowpoint, and the other scarpered in an act of self preservation. That concluded my 1st evening out with my new set-up. It was a shock to learn about the Pulsar's capabilities and as it turned out, better with cloud cover. All in all, I'm chuffed. Pictures of the kills will be posted later today after I've had a kip.

All still on then - marvelous.

All received and fitted to .22. Down to the club for zeroing tonight, then out to test it. Many thanks.

Serious? I'm on my way. PM on its way

I'm in Deal. But am prepared to travel. Bambi is bambi, and it tastes gooooooodddd (sorry, Homer moment), Never had Muntjac, but am prepared to put myself out.

Thankyou folks, I am now rather hungry. Anyone in Kent wish to sell some bambi?

I love it how most of us are sympathetic. :lol:

Do you have a location?

I appear to have hit a nerve. It would not make England a rich and prosperous country at all. Just lessen our own debt by around £11 billion a year that is handed over to Scotland. In 5 or 6 years we could pay for HS2. Another contentious topic.

Nothing against the Scots whatsoever but I hate Salmond. My opinion is... Let them have independence, as long as it is FULL independence, with no more of of English pounds going north of the border. How will they pay us back for bailing out their 2 biggest banks?

The distillery was shut for 2 days, out of respect - maybe, bet they were cleaning out the tank/pipework during this period.

Any sensible offers?

Have not read the whole post, but my mate came up with this,; The AWT Diet, it consists of Cheese, wine followed by a few weeks of porridge.

Saw my 1st one the other day, thought it was a good job that the bird that got eaten, weren't the ones with the cameras.

That is just mental turmoil for you guys. Hope everything work out for the best and keep us posted.

Looks like it's mine, pending the usual formalities

rsrjerry, you have email/pm. Paul

2nd dibs please if it doesn't go.

I would take this but am financially embarrassed currently. I can concur to others that these are great scopes, I have a 3-9 x 42 (the model under this one on my .223 PSS. Together they shoot v bulls at 600yds at Bisleys Century range. IMO, an under-rated scope.

Sorry mate, as was mentioned earlier, you are entitled to ask for feedback..

Am now a definite for 15th at the Gorse. Will meet you in the 'car park'.
