tommy trucker Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I wish the crow's around here would sit as still as that one TT. Nice shot. Think this one was a bit poorly and needed taken out. First seen it sat just 100yds away and never bothered about my presence. then took off to the other side of the fell and didnt move much at all which make me think something was wrong with it. so decided to shoot it. I was actualy hoping for a fox or deer. There were 4 deer apeared but sadly just over the boundry of my permission so just had the crow to show for my efforts.

Catweazle Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I watched a slow motion video of a scoped rifle being fired and was surprised how much flex there was in the barrel and specifically the scope, is there any evidence of your scope touching the barrel ? It looks quite close in the picture. Just curious, it might only happen on heavier calibre rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Shot 3 crows a couple of weeks ago with my 17AH, one was only 35 yards and was half the weight of the other two. Perhaps a late bird of the year. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
