Buster 6241 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Had a couple last Thursday night at a 100yds paced, good clean headshots and I was well chuffed when I heard that unmistakable thud. I'm using a CZ Silhouette, Hawke 3x9x50 set on it's lowest mag and Eley subsonic hollow extra. How far out have you taken them with a .22 rimfire?

Catweazle Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 About 70 yards I think, normally use HMR instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR1960 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Oh, come on, we all know since the introduction of the HMR which is totally unaffected by wind or, it seems, even gravity, .22LRs have been incapable of killing a rabbit at more then 50yds.........

Buster 6241 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Are you a midget No I aint! I'm 6' tall and take big paces when I pick up just to be on the safe side. Truth be known them two bunnies were more like 110yds out..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I've shot them out to 130yds with a .22. Not going to claim headshots and wasn't trying for a headshot either. Probably done it on half a dozen occasions over the last 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 TBH I was more expecting someone to be complaining I don't have enough respect for my quarry than someone claiming to be better. Most of my shots are more like 50yds, a fair few are considerably closer. My sights are set for 45yds as that's where the rabbits usually are. It is very satisfying to hit them at silly distances though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
