varminter Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Well , I had a crap day at work and thought i would have my tea in my jeep at one of my favorite vantage points!! So i set up my 6PPC on the bonnet ready to go if anything shows!!! First up a bunnie shows at 324yds , so dial in corrections and connected!!! Then as i finished me tea 2 magpies showed up in the field at 328yds , so dialed in for range and wind ( 5mph ) but the magpie would not give me a side on shot so had a crack anyway!! Shot hit just above his back!! Later on in the evening got on to some crows and noticed 2 of them was close together!! So i ranged them at 282yds , dialed in and waited , after a couple of minutes one of them stood in front of the other so i touched the round off to be greeted by the sound of ...... whizzzzz -- pop - pop!! and a explosion of feathers!!! Well chuffed because i have had double bunnies before with my centrefires but this is my first double crows!!! A very memorable evening , just the thing to finish off the day!!!!! All the best................. RAY.......................................... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxshot , yes i do do shoot under 200yds but i am very fortunate to be able to shoot out further if i want to on my permissions , but i must say i am a very lucky boy to have such good varminting buddies ( like yourselfs ) here in cornwall so i get to enjoy some long range varminting in very good company!!! :lol: But i got to say i love my 6PPC out to the 450yds mark in favourable conditions!!! Good luck buddy on getting your 300yder and i am sure if you wanted to come down to cornwall the cornish guys would soon welcome you !!! All the very best....................

Guest 308Panther Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 2 for 1 sales are always nice.... Last time I had a chance was with some deer... But held off to long and they got spooked so I had to settle for a nubby buck. Meat is meat. Nice Shooting Ray 308Panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 308Panther Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Jeez Ray.. You could have at least let the bunny get a nut... One friends brother took a spike buck "outta the saddle" one year...but he only went for the buck. Another friend got a double with his .243Win....It was a "T" zone hunt,or "antlerless only" and he didnt see the smaller younger doe feeding behind the larger older doe...He was sick for days after and felt really bad about droppin a "puppy dog"...He had tags for both deer so that wasnt the problem...it was just that the puppy dog was only just birthed in the spring and was only about 6-7 months old. 308Panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
