    Just read this thread end to end, well what else is there to do on a freezing cold day? Both weapons have their ideal uses, it's horses for courses. I would use my .22lr all the time for rabbits, but in many instances I can't get close enough on open fields and that's where the HMR comes in with accuracy at range. Beyond 130 yards you need to start looking for a heavier load and a more powerful rifle. Mine's a CZ 452 Varmint with a 16 inch barrel by the way.

    I've been using my old .177 Relum springer to shoot pigeons in barns over open sights at close ranges up to 20 yards, but due to low light, I some times can't see the sights (old age). A red dot seems the answer. I've seen mixed reviews. Advice please.

A friend said that the farmer was desperate to have them shot, so I met him and got permission over a couple of hundred acres. All was going well and over a few months, I systematically covered the ground and was reducing the numbers. One day I arrived to find about twenty cars parked up and on entering the land was approached by a couple of very angry "sportsmen", who informed me that this was their shoot and I was trespassing. If I got my rifle out they would call the police and do me for armed trespass. I showe

    Hi All, I've recently moved to the Bracknell area from South Bucks, where most of my permissions are. I have had a FAC for several years and shoot a variety of rifles, CZ 452 Varmint 17 HMR, Magtech 7022 .22lr semi auto, Career 707 FAC .22 PCP carbine, Webley Venom Viper .22 PCP carbine and CZ Relum .177 springer. I have a couple of permissions in this area, but am looking to extend my range. My main targets are rabbit, pigeon and rat. Do members know of a syndicate in my area, that may be keen to accept an experienced verminator like myself as a member. I recently started a blog sit
