Salop Matt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Well about twice a year I get to go and do a cull at a bit of a special place, rabbits being the quarry. So we (me and my best mate Paul aka Shropshire lad off here) set off around the ground, we used Suzuki Jimny and Paul drove so I could shoot. My rifle of choice was my FAC Huntsman in .22 at 30ftlb with a pellet choice of 16gr JSB exacts 5.52. We started at 19:30 and finished at 23:30. The bag total was 62 and all head shot so they could be sold to the butcher! Edited August 27, 2013 by salop sniper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedd-wyn Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Jesus H Christ, how the hell did you fit all of them into the Jimny? Very impressive, and a great bag for a night out with an air rifle. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 air rifle shooting at its best, well done boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Easy in the back of the Jimny with the seats folded down andy home made shelf in ! 2 big plastic box's and my big air cylinder between them ! I enjoy my air guns and this shows what an effective tool the air rifle is ! Not one of these would of been a safe shot with a rimfire. Next time I may use my sub 12ftlb .177 Daystate MK 4 and see how many we can bag with that ! We should get a second chance at them in November / December time all being well.

Salop Matt Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 They weighed in at a fair weight, one box was a 2 man lift and the second box a dam good lift too ! I would of been curious to of known what the overall weight was, a few stone I bet ! ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shropshire_Lad Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi crossy 666, Matt is away for a while so I'll answer for him. The rifle was filled when we set off, I think Matt said he gets around thirty consistent shots at 30flb. It was topped up once around half way through then once again for the last 1/2 hour or so, better to keep topped up and consistent than let the power drop off ;-) Shots were from around 20 yds out to over 60yds, the range finder being used to confirm ranges at the longer end. Its great watching someone shoot when they are in the zone so to speak? a nice tempo to their shooting. From the moment the rifle is raised you know when the shot will be released and what the outcome will be. atvb Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
