Rommels 7 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Having been fairly quiet on the rabbit front for the number of weeks I've not bothered wandering out at night and flicking the lamp round for any signs of life, until early yesterday I decided to do so... caught two rabbits playing and left them to it... causing no harm?.... Wandered out today around 1am and clocked 14 of the buggers ... none bothered by the lamp nor me clomping about in the moonlight without glove/vial etc.. decided to grab the gun, poped on the NV and did the same again.. still none of the buggers moved and inch... As such the unlucky two below where shot at 10 yards. Having lined up a third, the NV bat died... ... called it quits for a while though got the batt on charge and was out again around 3am and took out another 3 all easily within 20 yards.. Glanced over to next door with the NV (un-mounted) and not a rabbit in sight though 5 less to deal with Quote Link to post

ATB. Bill. Cheers guys, to answer the questions the NV is a Pulsar challenger GS1 (gen1+) with DSA and a N1000AP IR laser, on the back of the MTC mamba 50x16 (used there on 10x mag and sunshade on at night ). It's a shame I don't have anything to take a picture of the view through it at night, must say its crystal clear and the cross hairs are as if it where day, you'll probably end up using the parallax a lot more mind to keep focus/estimate range Cost me £314 off the BBS forum, was 6 months old and unregistered for warrantee with pulsar so did that online and they added an additional year warrantee so has 3 years I believe now. I think the best "new" deal I've seen was £445 (variable power version like mine) which includes everything (laser, dsa and NV) found here ATB, Charlie Edited September 14, 2011 by Rommels Quote Link to post

Marksman 934 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Nice mate, Not a criticism but why shoot them so close?? Unless they were that close when you were scanning Darryl Quote Link to post
Rommels 7 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Nice mate, Not a criticism but why shoot them so close?? Unless they were that close when you were scanning Darryl Possibly they had become accustom to the horses and thus me in the field?? , I'm not sure... though the words "balls of steel" spring to mind, most seemed content running up/down and around me despite not being particularly stealthy sat in the open without gloves or a vial. None of those shot nor the other moved as I shot each in turn ether, the latter lot as I shot 1/3 sat and looked right at me as I picked the gun up and turned to face/shoot each... seemed a bit strange... Range wise I just positioned in the middle of the field as they were running up and down. hence their ranges, as I got fedup watching them sit right under my nose ATB Charlie Edited September 16, 2011 by Rommels Quote Link to post
