Thanks. Don't worry, they were all legally shot with full permission of those in charge

I had to laugh too Lawsie, but if you have permission for that property there is no higher authority
Welcome to the site and good work on the bunnies, looks like they're all keepers with the accurate shooting

Camel, are you paying attention in regards to new locations?

I have only used digital night vision so can't comment on tubed or thermal.
I genuinely like the nitesite and prefer it over my other dedicated unit.
This because I don't have to remove scopes and can basically use it on any scope when needed.
I went for the nitesite viper over the other models as it was the cheapest. All of the nitesites are basically the same thing. The only parts that are different are the infared LEDs and the battery. I got around this by using an ir torch to effectively match the higher end units at a fraction of the price.
I'm yet to find a better combination for rabbit shooting. A shrouded pcp with nightvision is deadly.
The humble 22lr could not be used on any of the properties due to size and location issues.
Here are a few pics to show what my units look like on the same rifle.

Gotta love the FX I got a older model FX 2000 family RWS Excalibre . Has to 10 years old still shoots better then me. Also have a Theoben Rapid M2 both are in 22.
Nice going with the rabbits.

Brings a whole new meaning to going shooting rabbits in the dead of the night eh.
Welcome Lawsie, you will fit right in here I think. Good hauls of rabbits.
Yes Glen I am taking notice of the location, but don't think I would get a run in the local, they would like me driving on the lawn.

Nice job Lawsie and welcome,
the FX is a fine rifle, I had a cyclone synthetic in .177 and it dropped many a feral pigeon out to 40yds....super accurate and nice to shoot, I wish I could have kept it.

Lawsie,
For someone who is not a target shooter you did rather well at Hornsby FT
