I wouldnt do it in a pink fit. I'd rather take my chances with the iron site at 300m on a pig or deer than the scope on birds at 30m. I've got a drilling and while I conceed I have sent a 180gn 30/06 round at a flock of ducks on the wing I've yet to send a load of no 4's at a pig at 200m. In reply to:
I am ignorant as to bird shooting in OZ, but it would seem that you have good populations of pigeons and doves to practice on.
Looks can be deceptive. Short of belting the odd feral pigeon that had come down to eat the bread I left them, with my .177 air rifle when I was a kid, doves, pigeons, and most other kinds of birds are out. Ducks in Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and the Territory. Geese in the Territory. And that would be it wouldnt it?
