I went for a walk this evening between rain showers, and shot some "long range" rabbits with my custom Savage MkII .22LR - "long range" in this case being between 60 and 150 metres. Film:

Cool video! It raises some questions; What distance is your rifle zeroed at? Is is coming on Spring when that video was shot? 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

Great video , thanks . Squirrel hunting is fun at extended ranges here in the States . 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 .

Fantastic entertainment. That area was beautiful. I see they snorkel vehicles over there too. What scope were you using?

Those Winchester SubSonic Hollowpoints are the real deal. I've used them to kill a bunch of squirrels.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

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

Great video! I have a couple of the same scope and find them very reliable!

Nice video. Shooting rabbits in the gorse. I like it. I missed the chance to see the West Coast but my folks went to Greymouth. They liked the West side.
