Birdboy Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Just thought I would upload my first picture of a few rabbits i had earlier this evening after zeroing my new rifle. I was approved for my FAC a few weeks ago and went out to pick up a CZ Style .22 i ordered a month prior ! and my MTC Viper Scopes, however on the day of patiently trying to zero the scopes, the scopes developed a problem and they were sent back to be replaced, so gutted as i was, ive had to wait 2 long weeks for a new set to arrive. Anyway, they came yesterday and today was the first real time i have shot the rifle, after spending an hour zeroing the new glass. Just as the gun was zero'd, the wife telephoned me to say i was late for my roast lamb !!, so i had to make a choice, stay on for another 10 minutes and try the gun on some bunnies ( and be in even more trouble) or drive home immediately. Hopefully the picture tells a 1000 words !! Wifey not too happy and dinner very dry and cold, but well worth it. Before i left the farm, i walked down to a well known bunny haunt and there was stacks ! Bearing in mind i had only just zero's the rifle, and im still getting used to gauging distances in my mind, id say the first i hit was 60yds. Easy, as the rifle had just been zero'd at 60, so i pulled the trigger and bang, down he went. Amazingly, all the other rabbits sat there after the first went down (SAK mod seems good !), so i looked at the second pair of ears approx 75 yds (ish), so i raised the crosshair to the next notch and the second one went down. My friend spotted the third on the edge of the hedgerow - approx 80-85yds, so again i raised the crosshair, and the 3rd went down. 3 rabbits with 3 shots and in under 5 minutes !! Shame the dinner was cold, but hey, worth every minute. Looking forward to the long evenings. The only thing i have to master now is presenting my quarry and my rifle as neatly as you guys do it for the pictures !! Cheers Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdboy Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Cheers guys. Yes Gixer, very light. I went for the Synthetic as if its anything like my shotguns, it will take a bit of a bashing up the farm and has the added benefit of being light. Hope to get my next bag photos on here soon !
