Wade had the camera so we'll have to wait for him to post any pictures.

PS. Safariman, thanks a bunch for haveing us over again this year I realy had a good time.


Safe to say a grand time was had by all bipedal mamilians.

I really think that 200 is closer to the correct body count.

Sounds like a real glory hole.
Sorry to hear about the dried up spots. They heal with time.
When you're able to hit it again try
Kennedy's in Harlem. A short drive and new prospects.

Silly of you to think I've done no damage in Harlem though...

How's that 981 servin' you? Got a good mind to trade in my Jam O' Mattic savage 64 and get one. Does she get good groups? Don't mean to thread steal but it's hard to find info on these.


I have a 981TR. I hit 8 of 9 shots on sage rats at 160 yards yesterday with no rest or bipod (The miss was my fault - wind). It will hit shotgun shells at 200 yards and I have made a couple of one shot hits on a quarter at 200 yards.

Like all 22's, you have to match your ammunition to the barrel. Also, I had to bed the receiver (The synthetic stock comes with pillars)to get this accuracy. Most shoot 2-4" groups at 100 yards out of the box. Bedding the receiver will reduce a 2" group to 1.25". The Model TR like mine can be made more accurate than the T by bedding the tube. A group of 4" indicates uneven barrel expansion and you have about a 50-50 chance of buying one in this factory made condition. Mine shot 4" out of the box but I applied the fix.

Bedding is for flowers, plastic is for toys, stainless steel is for sinks...It all means nothing if the gun doesn't look good and then turn the critters into soup...

The wind REALLY picked up here this afternoon. Glad I didnt take the boat out!

I think that might be the case this year. Although, a couple more weeks time could change that. Seems this time of year there are usually more out though. Babies should be coming out in a 2-3 weeks smile Went and got my boat from the rance a couple weeks ago and brought little bro with our 17HM2s. We drove all over the big field and probably only shot 30 or so. Their numbers were nothing like usual.

Numbers are way down. Haven't spoken to a landowner yet that doesn't agree.

shrapnel,

Doesn't weather influence the point of impact when you use a wood stock? What year did they stop using wood stocks?

so where the heck is the 'splat factor' at???

I mean, if there isn't carnage, where is the reason to go out and shoot them?

the zillions I wasted with a 10/22 last weekend with 40 grain HP Lead bullets, showed a lot more internal organs afterwards than those...

sorry but mangled rats and red mist is he entire reason for going out there isn't it?

I mean, sure it is fun to shoot moving targets, and tightening up one's shooting skills...

but bang flop is for deer hunting.. not shooting rodents...

rodents ya need kerslap... or that little "Whomp" when you hit them with a 22 LR..although head shots with a 22 are definitely entertaining...

the 'fish out of water' death dance...

our buddy Shrapnel gets it... AIRBORNE MF!! AIRBORNE!!!...
