What part of NZ are you in? Are you able to get CCI rimfire ammo? Was that a Kiwi bird? Thank you for sharing that with us! Ed Last edited by APDDSN0864; 10/22/17.

When I lived in Georgia there were tons of grey squirrels , shot them out to 150+ yards with a CZ 17hmr & 17mach2 . Beautiful place down under , hope to visit someday .

Ed Crikey! 50 metres Yes West Coast, South Island Yes, and I have a lot of it in the shed - but my rifle shoots better with Winchester (see film 40!) No, that was a Weka - another species of native flightless bird
