Gun Owners?

bunnies shmunnies!! .. go for a hunt and unwittingly walk over the edge of a warren .. which collapses under your weight ... and you twist your ankle and have to hobble in pain back a kilometer or so to the vehicle or house.... you wont feel so cuddly on bunnies...

little mongrels are like bloody prairie dogs or gophers over here! ...

bloke i know still runs the "septic truck" pumper in a country town of NSW ... when its full he finds a local farmer with a big warren and pumps the truck contents into it .. little bastids come rocketing out like evil smelling missiles... does the paddock substrate wonders for the fertiliser content though! 

paper target work is fine for organised comps or grouping target work .. but it aint huntin!

Yup. My 17HMR shoots good - even in high wind at 110 yards rabbits are toast.

Please don't kill the bunnies...

Why.... cause you think they look cute?

Ok Kijonas, have a read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbits_in_Australia ... "In Australia, rabbits are a serious mammalian pest and invasive species. .... within ten years of their introduction in 1859, rabbits had become so prevalent that two million could be shot or trapped annually without having any noticeable effect on the population."

Such a scourge are rabbits a Rabbit Proof Fence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit-proof_fence) was built to try to halt their spread. Here's some footage of that fence and rabbit numbers near it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgPhn4tYxJQ (the fence is over 2000 miles long)

We've had two different virus releases. The bunnies still persist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGEJ4WAdfEw

Still wanna save the bunnies?

Red-Ryder bb-gun  slightly modified stock. While i was chasing a raccoon, i fell and broke it on the dirt.

Daisy .177 pellet rifle   I can pump this gun about 11 times for the most powerful shot it can give. To be a badass i usually pump it an extra pump for good measure.

Accuracy within a 5' diameter from 10' away with the red-ryder (yeah dont believe me?? Try me. It also makes a loud boink springy sound when it fires.)

Pellet gun can severely injure a squirrel from an estimated 24'

Short story is...
Dont mess with me.

onya doop !!! ... its good you weighed in with your reality check! ... sometimes the high end of the rifle market distorts a persons vision!

HA! Guy at work starting telling people how he was shooting the small black metal pistol silhouette targets at 150 meters with an air rifle. I said, oh were you using the same type of air rifle they use in the Olympics? He said "Yes." I said, "well then, you are full of sh!t." And everyone listening to his story just looked at me, mouths agape.

I said, "Mate, those things shoot maybe at 12 ftlbs and are designed for 10 meter competition and would be lucky to make 150 meters let alone knock over a metal target. And a small target like that, on a gun you have never shot before. Yeah, you're full of sh!t.

People looked from me, to him, back to me, back at him. He just shut up and walked away.

I was praised by the others for finally calling him out on his bullsh!t stories.

Ha, we do have an emoticon for that 

So, moving on... what shotgun is yours of choice?

Michael

[Janx101]

who.. Kij or me?...

anyway .. Browning A5 .. at least when we were allowed to have them...... or Remington 870 Pump with mag ext (8 shot total) matte finish .. it was so ... MACHO!

[Kijona]

Maverick 88. Same thing as Mossberg 500 minus drilled & tapped receiver.

[Huff1371]

Hands down. Best shotty for the money. Benelli Nova. Dirt cheap for what you get.

[Kijona]

Well, I ran across a deal that was too good to pass up.



DO YA FEEL LUCKY PUNK? WELL...DO YA??

[Janx101]

Nice ! .. Even if it ain't a S&W mod 29!  .. Got mice in the basement have ya?! Lol

[GI_JO_NATHAN]

Can't remember if I've ever posted up in this thread. Might as well.

Mossberg 500 under the bed.
SA XD40subcompact in the console(sometimes in the CBST.)
S&W Bodyguard 380 in the pocket(always.)

Almost forgot.
Stevens Model 62 .22 rifle for the son.

[Kijona]

Welp. Went to the range today to shoot the .44...

The cylinder has timing issues and the forcing cone is off-kilter. The result is bits of the bullet being shaved off when it's fired and/or the cylinder locking up.

Will be sending it back to Taurus for repair. Should go well, they are very good.

[Alphad0g]

Colt AR-22, modified with a red dot and foregrip
Old S&W .38 special.
Some old-as-dirt 12 guage.

Planning on getting myself a 1911 soon. Cop friend brought his down the other day, and I fell in love with that gun.

[Janx101]

eh Kij, not tryin to ruin your fun.... and it might be the photo or just the styling... but that .44 (now that i look at it on laptop with reasonable screen) ... almost looks like the barrel is tilted up.. just a few degrees.... as in.... dropped on its nose by PO? ... would certainly explain cylinder bind and forcing cone issue?!...

hoping its just the photo though ... bent barrel/frame sux!
