jall25 Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Just got in from a night on the rats Had an issue with my 22rf so because im shooting feeder to feeder in the woods and on the beetle banks i mounted the thermal on the moderated 12 WOW ! Ended up with 70 odd ! Only came home because i ran out of cartridges and i dont think i could pump the gun much longer hahah Weighs a bloody ton but worth it !

Yes maybe - but on a real role with the work i am doing on the shoot Shot over 100 foxes last year - hundreds and hundreds of squirrels , crows and magpies - Just starting to really see the place flourish with life now And just think how much grain all those rats eat !

Rookandrabbit Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Well I’ll bet using the 12 bore saves you picking them up, just be red splats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
