philpot 4,955 Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Just as a matter of interest Jason, is it the calibre you didn't get on with and if so in what way didn't you get on with it or was it the gun that was a problem. Phil Quote Link to post

Phil I just missed the stopping power of the .22, many of rabbits hit in the kill zone and still ran off. First rabbit with it so far and stopped it in its tracks, was hoping it would flop a bit so I could retrieve it easier as as soon as I walked towards it I just sunk up to my knees in a muck pile Quote Link to post

Rabbits don’t run off because it’s been shot with .177 !! 4 Quote Link to post
