m0asd Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I am about to take possesion of my first .17hmr.# At present I have a .22 semi-auto which I only use really at air rifle ranges. ie: about 30-50 yds. The reason for this is I have mobility problems and can no longer stalk across fields etc carrying gun as two sticks make it difficult. I am going to start using a high power lamp, filtred, and stay by my 4x4 to shoot. Would you use a bi-pod to aid distance shots or just the bonnet? I would point out that I drive round and harvest my shoot after each visit. Any advice welcome except the one that says "Stay home in the warm you old fool!!" You've just got to go out there and try Thanks Arthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Mason Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 hello mate, personally i'd get a bi-pod. i'd rather have one and not need it, than need one and not have it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Taff is spot-on. Buy a swivelling Harris 9-13" bipod and leave it permanently attached. Also buy yourself a rear bag rest for stabilising the rifle on long shots. I keep both front and rear bags to hand in the truck, as I shoot off bonnets and 4x4 roofs a lot. Front and rear bags will give you a more stable base when zeroing, and make >150 yards shots an absolute doddle with the HMR.
