Evil Elvis Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Finally gave in a bought a hmr.Then thinks....now how do I zero it best.....ah yes My old mukka Bob. I bought a scope he had never heard of and he was curious so i took a drive to Bob's and set it all up on his range. He was quite impressed with the scope's clarity, and by the look of my cz silhouette in synthetic!!! Complete with sirocco mod. Heres the beast, very light and sexy too: Heres the "atmospheric" shot: heres a better look: Bob bore sited her at first which was interesting i had never seen that done before, have o say i was slightly sceptical thinking that the old bald one was finally leaving his rocker!!!! But, we got to the range and took 3 shots at 100 yards, they went left by 6" and down by 2". We adjusted the scope accordingly, did 3 more shots, 1" low but spot on in line....slight adjustment and it produced this: To say i was happy was an understatement Not bad considering the light was fading!!!! as we were about to go an unlucky hare appeared at about 80 yards to the right which i took leaning on Bobs car ....whack, bowled it over with a chest shot!!! First blood!!! wh then went to another of Bob's farm where someone was complaining about the number of rabbits around the farm house.....so we dutifully dispatched 13 of them for him. I was quite taken aback by the power of this little round and some of the holes it left in the bunnies: I missed a few but mostly due to hoppers...jumping as you pull the trigger....one rabbit did it 3 times and so i had to let it go....!!! One of the misses did ricochet but it was the only one that did all night on a freshly ploughed field. the longest shhot taken was around 95 yards...not too taxing...did try a couple of longer ones but missed lol....will take a little time to get used to it!!!but overall im well impressed with her!!!!! As usual Bob's driving single handedley whilst using the lamp was exemplary despite having hmr cases raining down on his head !!! Those observant amongst you will see there's only 11 in the piccys, we left 2 behind that we couldn't find, Bob retrieved them with the dog today and one was demolished by a boa as soon as I got home!!! Bob, I know your not coming on here but thanks for a great night!!!!! Edited October 9, 2008 by Evil Elvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Nice one Baz, You must be catching Mungler up on the gun stakes. Good to know that Bob can still get out for more than half an hour without either getting lost or ******* himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
