[varminter 10]

Hi guys and girls hope you all had a good christmas

Have not posted for a while so i thought i would post a picture of a outing with me new CZ american varmint 17 HMR , Really like this caliber , no wories of richochets and dumps bunnies big time , still good to eat too

 

My buddy took the fox ( head shot ) at 50yds whilst we was out lamping for bunnies , first one with me new rifle too jammy bugger But if am targeting foxes i usually take something a bit bigger like the 6PPC or the 6.5-284 .

All the best...........

Itching to get out with mine... still haven't sighted it in yet and i've had it two weeks!

 

What ammo were you using out of curiosity?

 

Great bag bud

Glad you got a 17 mate, take a peek at Varmint Als page, it gives a good insight into .17 ammo.

The only problem with the round is the noise

 

But other than that its a very good stopper, very humane.

tell me about it (skinning) took me fecking ages Freezers nice and full though and so is my belly .

As for ammo tried the hornady 17 grain v-max / remington 17 grain v-max , gun favors hornady also tried cci 17 grain TNT ( not bad) and the big surprise was the hornady 20 grain XTPs - gun loved them

Dont mind the little noise because richocets are a thing of the past and the bunnies are still good to eat and dumps them big time with flat shooting out to 100yds!!!

Anyway HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all and your families

Regards.........

Nice result, Sold my 17 recently same model as yours, lovely gun but needed space in the cabinets 22 did one thing, 22-250 did the next and really had to make some space, otherwise it would still be there. Got to admit though there is still a space on my ticket, maybe i should consider buying another cabinet!

Hi moletrapper i think yes treat yourself to another gun cabinet and you will have a great excuse to get some more rifles

I see from your post you are from cornwall I live in cornwall too

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all
