The issue with the shotgun is noise!

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!

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!

Indeed it does, dangerous to 1.5 miles! Many thanks.

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?

Sorry this item has been sold, got snapped up!

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!

Is that 16" including the mod,

Next on the list! How long should I go for?

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!

Thanks for all the replies guys, I'm of to the CLA today for the whole weekend so I will take a look and maybe get a deal. Many thanks.

Ok so if I started out with a 9 to 13 then and get others as and when!

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.

Thanks guys!

OK thanks, so whats it for?

Newbie question I'm afraid. I just brought some Sports Match Scope Mounts and found that one of the mounts has a small lug that can be inserted into a hole in the mount, what's it for please?

Just brought a second hand Hawke Eclipse 3-9 x 50 sight for mu rimfire and although the rear sight has been removed the gun, the housing still remains (and cant be removed) as a result I need to get higher mounts/extensions. Does anyone know where I might be able to get some please?

Thanks mate, I have a permission in that neck of the woods, out towards Market Lavington

Why do you say its a bad way to assess things, to discount a bad shot, If you know it was a bad shot i.e. elbow slipped, you snatched at the trigger or whatever, but the other four were tight.... I will just add that this was the last group I fired on that day and was the first time I had fired the gun ever, so still getting used to it. I haven't fired a .22 in 30 years and haven't fired a rifle in 14 years since leaving the army. I shot at Bisley in the army championships when I first joined up so don't consider myself a bad shot, just out of practice. The group will get tighter with time and practice.

Frightned me that I could still remember it!

From a newbie perspective, I was exactly the same as you, still am to an extent but I'm learning! Thing that helped me was to slow down, every time I saw a bird, I would be up, BANG, miss, as soon as it was over the pattern. Now I wait for it to commit to the pattern, its wings break, its eyes are on the landing zone, slowly stand and bring the gun up over the net, eyes focused on the bird, track on to it, BUM, BELLY, BEAK, BANG!

The scope is fine, just want a more powerful one (My eyes aren't as powerful as they once were!). Firing position was fine, my intention is to get a bi-pod in the near future. The last round isn't a "flyer" as you put it, it was down to me, as I squeezed the trigger, it felt all wrong, should have aborted the shot and set it up again, in hind sight. I tried applying the same marksmanship principles as I did when I was shooting 7.62 mm SLR's in the army. Position and Hold must be firm enough to support the weapon Weapon should point naturally at the target. Sight alignment must be correct. Shot must be released and followed through with any physical effort

First time on fresh game for Storm and Hollys first fresh since last season. Both dogs a bit bothered to start but tbey are pigeons so not an ideal bird. But they both did it and delivered to hand.
