Barky 24 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi guys little question for you, I had a phone call a couple of weeks back asking if I could clear some rabbits so went up to have a look in the day to see what was what and there are rabbits everywhere, so informed my FEO had the land cleared for 17hmr and 22lr, I only own a 17hmr at the moment, so my question is shall I wait untill I can afford a .22 or go with the hmr? My only thing I'm thinking is noise from the hmr Cheers Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Depends on how desperate the landowner is to get the rabbits under control, if it was me I would go with the hmr and start shooting them, remember, use it or lose it! Could you not take a trusted friend along, who has a .22? You could make a big dent in numbers with the hmr, before they wise up. Quote Link to post

Barky 24 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I got the old man to buy me a new rifle today got a cz452 sak mod and a nice scope, so went up to the land with the new .22 after having a little play in my field and baged 9 rabbits! ? I would of stayed out longer but had my little girl with my and she was getting tired plus 9 rabbits is abit heavy for her to carry! Land owner should be happy with that. I'll have another pop tomorrow when she goes back to her mums. Overall I'm chuffed to bits! Cheers guys ? Quote Link to post
