  2. The question was,, to start with a bit general (should have read the box) as for the size of the area its about 125 acres but theres a house on the edge where she lives sometimes. She's just wary of any weapon really, I shot one near her house the other night when she was in (about 30 yards from her house) and she never heard a thing!
  3. Yup thats what I did, shes still very wary though, sadly the majority of the rabbits are around the area of her house as opposed to the fields that she owns (good from my perspective as I don't have to walk far!) They've made a right mess of her garden. She doesn't live at the house permanently so I have agreed that I will only shoot that area when shes not in!
  4. Indeed it does, dangerous to 1.5 miles! Many thanks.
  5. Hi guys I have just picked up a new rabbi shooting permission. The land owner is anti gun in as far as she is terrified of them but she realises that she has a rabbit problem. She has stipulated that there is to be no shotgun, so air rifle of rimfire only. She was a little concerned about the rimfire in that it is a "proper bullet!" She asked me how far a bullet from the gun would go and what is the lethal range of it. So my question to all the technical types: 1. How far will a .22 rimfire round travel? 2. What is the lethal range of the .22 rimfire round?
  6. Sorry this item has been sold, got snapped up!

  8. Just wondered if anyone could advise me on where I could get a slip to fit my Rim-fire. I have a slip but now that I have a bigger sight (x50) and a bipod on it, it doesn't fit!
  9. Next on the list! How long should I go for?
  10. Had my BRNO .22 Rimfire a month or so now and have done a couple of upgrades to it. I now have a Hawke 3-9 x 50 sight and added a Bipod that I brought at the CLA. Zeroed the other night and what a difference!

    Bipod

    I'm looking at getting a bipod for my rimfire, but I'm seeing that they come in different heights. What an deal height for one please guys. Don't want anything massively expensive.
