AUSTRALIAN OUTDOORS / Another evening in the stones
Last post by branxhunter - January 14, 2024, 05:45:23 PMOur daughter had one of her friends over last night and they wanted to head out for a hunt. We grabbed the Anschutz .222 and the Brno Mod 2 Myra Extruder, cammed up and headed into the stones to see if we could whistle up a fox.
No foxes seen at the first stand but daughter shot a rabbit, her first fur with the .20 Myra extruder built on a Brno Mod2. I was gifted the rifle by my friend Mark ( aka Camel) who succumbed to cancer last year. I think he would have been well chuffed.
It was a beautiful eveni g to be out and about.
The last stand was shooting over a stone fence. After whistling for a while I noticed two foxes sitting on a track about 300m away looking in our direction but another 10 minutes later they hadn't come any closer and light was beginning to fade. Not wanting to stumble through rocks on the way back to the Ute we called it quits.

FIREARMS & OPTICS / Re: Mossberg 46B .22lr
Last post by gitano - January 14, 2024, 05:10:28 PMNice!
Interesting, to me, how different .22 RFs shoot different ammo best. Those two brands and 'models' of ammo didn't work well in my Anschutzs or Stevens.
My first firearm was a Mossberg bolt action .410 shotgun with external choke. I learned to wing-shoot using that gun. It is my belief that it made me a better wingshooter.

So rounds of choice are PowerPoint 40gn HP, and CCI subsonic HP.

FIREARMS & OPTICS / Mossberg 46B .22lr
Last post by branxhunter - January 14, 2024, 05:00:40 PMA good mate of mine recently brought home his dad's old Mossberg 46B 22lr.
He ordered a Havlin side mount from Brownells:
Then removed the open sights, bought some Leupold rings and a Vortex Crossfire scope, and turned up this morning to zero it in.
The Loopy rings had the scope sitting way up in the air, so I offered him some very low old school Weaver mounts.

Last post by Jamie.270 - January 11, 2024, 06:58:37 AMI didn't write/create this, but I think it might be the most important statement I've ever heard, as it pertains to science (especially Climate Change):
QuoteIt's better to have questions that cannot be answered, than answers that cannot be questioned-- Dr. Willie Soon, Astrophysicist and Geoscientist.
