demonwolf444 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 No pictures as the camera is on charge for a trip to york tomorrow, however i did have rekki day on the rabbits, just seeing where they like to play at the moment. I have never used the mercury on rabbits as when prone i find the norica more comfortable. And also havent been out since before christmas, except for dealing with a serious tin can infestation, i set of at half 5 and got out the binoculars to look to my chosen field and as i watched there were three rabbits bouncing around the hill top, i continued and at a quarter to was set up and crawling towards my first target, not being overly confident with the mercury i wanted to make sure i was in a comfortable range and kept crawling closer, then the boom of a shotgun and its scarpers, so i get up walk to the "ditch" (just a dry dip that runs down the right handside of the field) and lay up and get the bipod out, lying there i see three rabbits take a shot at the closest which turned out not to be that close the shot dropped short, and i realised there had been a serious miscalculation and the rabbit was to far away, the noise made it scarper. One rabbit left now and in the top left so i crawled untill it stopped and i was convinced it had seen me, it turned around so i took the opertunity and got in position, it bounced offtowards the hedge before stopping and turning, fffttaang. a nice clean headshot, and the rabbit backflips into the hedge, and thankgod it was just getting dark, roast rabbit and big fat chips for dinner.

The Duncan Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'll be right over for the roast rabbit n chips! Great news on the mercury's strike! Why a bipod with a light weight springer though? Cheers Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duncan Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) lots of small bunnies showing on my permissions.....wont be long before i get among them Yup - a few more weeks for them to grow some lovely succulent meat. In truth after another 6 weeks plus and they will be delicious, incredibly tender and taste amazing with a bit of cajun spice God I love young rabbit!

demonwolf444 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I like the bipod purely for stability really. I dont find the mercury "lightweight" at all, - compared to my other guns. If all my guns were heavier then i guess i would find it lighter. I find the length of pull slightly awkward, with the but pad i have a perfect lenth of pull but cannot get a small enough eye releif for my scope, and without the but pad i get perfect eye relief but awkward lenth of pull. i keep meaning to buy some mounts that sort of hang over that would sort the problem. Hence why i dont hunt with it often but its such a great gun (as far as springers go) for shooting over vairable distance - probably because it has more power than others, contemplating FAC springer or sub 12 PCP, or even just a tuned QB to see what its like shooting recoilless although the shotgun is comeing first!
