A quick sighting in session as I had swapped the Simmons 6.5-20 x 50AO on my Rapid for a Simmons 2.5-8x36. Took some size and weight off. I was very happy with the result. Plenty of power for hunting and no fannying around with the AO.
Then it was off for a short walk with the little fellow and within a 1/2 hr we had 2 good rabbits in the bag. Suffered from the old Buck fever on the first shot and gave the rabbit pierced ears. Next shot straight to the head. The second one was facing me and sitting up. Put in a heart shot which was spot on, and of course it ran for 5 metres before dropping dead in its tracks.
The first night I spotted the eyes of a large tom sitting on a rock about 60 metres away. Switched the light of and moved in 10 or so metres to get a better shooting spot from an old log. Got so excited in the dark I tripped as I climbed over or onto the log and fell arse over. Kept the Rapid safe as you do. Anyway regained my composure and back on with the light. Sure enough the cat was still sitting there. A JSB Exact to the head and down it came. A big grey and silver tom. Every time I go there I get a large Tom cat. Didn't get a picture unfortunately.
A good few days away with plenty of rabbits and a ferral. All good.
