monkeyjaimz Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Now then guys, I recently managed to secure a new permission of roughly 500 acres of the arguably the best 'rabbiting' land in my area :blink: I've been a couple of times to scout out the area at differant times of day / night etc and decided tonight was the night to launch an offensive. So myself and Tim (stink£r) set off after a brew and a chip butty hoping for a good nights sport. Got to the farm about 6.45pm nice and calm with no rain (for a change) both got zeroed up within a few shots, so another quick brew then we set off. After about 10 mins into the 1st field guess what? rain, and lots of it :blink: didnt really bother us as we were well wrapped up etc. we were just more concerned about our quarry staying indoors and limited visibility etc. after a few sightings we split up into a large paddock where we knew there was previous rabbit activity along a wooded hedgerow. I set up the bipod and sat in wait at one end of the paddock while Tim stalked the other end (about 200+ yrds). After about 7 or 8 mins (still with driving rain) I thought i'd have a quick scan with the lamp, bingo 3 sets of eyes just about within range - lamp off, safety off, flip-ups open - lamp on again for a second and I sent a Bis Mag flying towards the furthest of the three. Perfect headshot After retreiving the fat little buck from the hedegrow, I met up with Tim again who had got 2 of his own but was struggling to find them in the undergrowth etc. With the rain showing no sign of letting up, we called it a night pretty early, so ended up with a bag of one - but we're both full of beans for the light nights on the way, and at least the farmer saw us making an effort despite the **** weather Cheers, Jim.

monkeyjaimz Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 ahh good shooting with the .177 ? and is that a nikko sterling night eater? if it is.. is it anygood for lamping? cheers GM Ah thats a trick question cos .177 is clearly the best cal! :yp: yes thats my new Nighteater 6-24 x 56 IR mate - adsolutely awesome for lamping and at 160 notes delivered brand new, not bad in my book I've had one before which I sold with my S200 so I could buy an engagement ring fantastic scopes in my opinion.
