Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Small Game Jack Rabbit guns

I grew up just outside of Tucson and an L46 Sako in 222 was also my favorite jackrabbit gun. I worked all summer in 1960 at the age of 15 to buy that rifle. Still have it but as there are no jacks around Lewiston it gets used mostly on groundsquirrels and for coyote calling.

It now sports a new Shilen #3 ss barrel, and is shooting as good as ever. That Sako is one of the most honest guns I have ever owned. Pedro

PS--- Do miss the desert after 32yrs. but not all the people. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Used a Rem 700 in 17 Rem with 9x glass
Out past the Golden Spike and just short of Locomotive Springs is a long slow ridge line where you can get shots out to 400-500 yards on a jack. Sometimes they would stop out at 100 yards or so and you would have to shoot them through the ear to get them running again. Once you got them out there far enough you could then have a challenging shot with the little 17.
