Oh really, if I ever have the pleasure what do you suggest I go for ?

Down in Cornwall mate, got 100+ acres on this site

I have already, just getting out for a couple hours reminded me why I loved it so much in the first place. Its a cz 455 .17hmr

So it’s been at least 3 years since I ventured out with my rifle, last night I dusted off the cobwebs check my zero and went out on a new permission. Within 2 minutes of stepping out of the truck I was presented with my first rabbit around 90yards away, got him in my sights squeezed the trigger and sure enough I missed him, absolutely gutted, think I rushed the shot (I put it down to the excitement of the chance of getting my first rabbit in a long time) It wasn’t long before we saw another rabbit this time a little further away, got into position and once again got him in my sigh

In that case, the hmr will be fine

^^^^^^^^^and so it starts^^^^^^^^

hi lloyd, not sure how much my advice is worth as ive only been shooting a year. i have a cz 455 17hmr and i think its great, i use it for rabbits and foxes and havnt had a problem with it. i think you might of started a recurring debate on wheather a rimfire is suitable for fox! what sort of ranges are you looking at shooting?

Not long at all, I know a lot of people aren't keen on the HMR but for me an what I need a rifle for at the moment, it suits me down to the ground I love it Joys of having a laser cutter ?

5 rounds later

its only 2mm st/st, obviously will have a backstop and hoping, if im good enough ill just pop the circles right through. hoping to try it in a bit

been busy at work and made a new target to try out with my 17hmr. still need to weld some legs onto it, and paint the discs, the discs are 13mm diameter.

Fantastic thanks for the advice

Am I likely to be in trouble if I transport my rifle strapped to my back (in a case) on my motor bike, does it need to be hidden from the public, I.e in the boot of a car?

Cheers Dan, I don't mind going out and learning by myself but it's nice to be put on the right track sometimes.
