Few More Bunnies

[IanB 0]

Had a look out with geoff tonight, keeping him busy...hes up at 5 in the morning for 15 mile of beating on a grouse moor, poor sod

Managed 28 for the pot..

Grouse beating! Rather him than me!

 

28 Is a good do out matey, nice one.......do you use a .22 or one of those .17hmr?

I have not shot a .17 but folks say the rounds can bounce around a bit?

 

Done much with the wires of late?

Hes in his 70's always beating on the moors, fit as a lop he was running after the bunnies to pick them all up... Yes I use a .22, not a fan of .17 HMR's very popular these days, more of a fun gun to me, just my own opinion, want to buy one ... Was doing some snaring last week nothing flash, might get up the dales with p&g if I get motivated...

What didnt you like about the .17?

[IanB 0]

Noisey (spook stuff sometimes), ammo expensive (200 rounds £50 compared to £14 for .22), messy even if your head shooting them, like a blood bath in the back of vehicle, once you get any numbers in there , and they don't seem any were as consistent as a .22 with grouping. Not for me anyway, .22 will do it all, if I want long range crows I'll decoy the fookers with a scatter gun

 

If your looking for a good gun, get an anschutz carbine rifle, standard or thumbhole, now they are sweet
