jgguinness Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Hi all, well following on from last nights fruitless trip I decided to have a look out tonight. Slight rain, light wind, light fading but still ok. Had a drive around the fields, just sidelights on Disco and managed to bag three. Over the moon as was tricky on my own but I enjoyed it. Cut them open and left them in the usual position so my mate Si-bore can make very good use of them with his crazy long range shots Anyway here is a pic. Kind regards Jonathan Edited May 9, 2012 by jgguinness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Good shooting. When lamping in my Disco I use main beam headlights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgguinness Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well towards the end of playing, at around 10pm maybe just after, I did give the headlights a quick flash or had a scan around with the 170 and Amber filter but generally just used the side lights. There was just enough light to see them at 50ish yards. The scope was amazing in the low light conditions too. Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoggy Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well done on your 1st Rabbits. It brings back memories!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgguinness Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Cheers Yoggy. They are not my first in general, had plenty with my air rifles and shotguns. They are however my first with my own firearm, which I'm over the moon with. Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicykillgaz Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well done mate, the first of many no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) You can't beat the feeling of getting out with a new toy. The step up to firearms from shotguns and air rifles is an amazing feeling. Be careful out there and have fun! Edit... One thing I would do is change that sling. I don't like stuff touching my barrel! Apart from that, nice setup. Edited May 10, 2012 by njc110381 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Mule Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yup! Only recently moved up myself and it still puts a grin on my face. I have to agree with njc get a better sling mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Well done :good: Is that the 452 silhouette? I tried that but preferred the 455 varmint Its a long time since I used a 22lr, so like you was pleased to get my own and bag a bunny with its first shot. Happy shooting Edited May 10, 2012 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-6 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I can imagine how elated you are, it is a "boys toys" feeling innit. The first thing i picked up in the photo was the sling position on the barrel, like said get one on the swivels. I'm sure you have been warned or know about the dreaded richochets. I have the STYLE version of your SILHOUETTE in .22lr and .17 hmr. I am relatively new to rimfire shooting but after air rifles and shotguns it's a whole new world out there, enjoy it.
