Re: Grandfather's .22

So far only one red bellied black snake and one rabbit plus three clays and a target for me. But no doubt many bunnies, hares and foxes over the decades.

Photo from the net. I shot the snake with shot in my truck shed, after having found the snake outside the shed trying to get in. It slithered away from me, and I decided it was too dangerous to leave it in the environs of the house and sheds so went to get a long handled shovel. Returned and looking for the snake, could not find it, but must have walked right past it in the low grass in front of the shed. It decided to make tracks and found a gap in the corner of a door and inside the shed it went. Went inside and using a torch quickly spotted it hidden well only a metre from the door right up against the shed wall with only a few centremetres visible behind some boxes, chains, and under a beam. Decided to get a .410 or a rifle and use shot. This was the only one quickly available in the front of the safe, so used it. Shot to the head plus a couple more for insurance finished it off.

Had a go with the rifle with open sights on rabbits but no luck. More spray and pray with the open sights at distance.

Decided to fit a scope and a Leupold Rimfire model in 2-7x seemed a nice light and smaller scope suitable for the Mauser .22 . Leupold mounts fit the dovetail and the rounded action top. Fisher Firearms in Adelaide gave good and friendly service for this.

This evening after sighting it in, took it for a walk and shot one bunny with it. Missed a couple of others. Need some practice I think. The trigger is OK but has a lot of creep and once taken up lets off with not too bad a squeeze.

Many more bunnies will be in its future I think.
