20/222 first trip out

Post by jacksaligari »

Well took the 20/222 down the paddock to get a 200yd zero few clicks too the left and all good
Went and checked out a farm that I cull a few Roos on permit
Sure enough a little male about 100 yds out quickly dispatched and naturally head shot whipped legs and tail off for dogs meat off too a good start confidence up straight away
Got a bit keen after getting the roo and got up at 5am and went for a quick look for fox and more Roos well only saw the one fox couldn't get a shot at him but got another 3 Roos all shot between 100yds and a 150 yds all head shot
So very happy with the 20/222 , camel and mr Tz have given me some very good advise and very happy with the hole package

Good stuff Jack, it should become your favourite spotlight rifle. On a still night 300 isn't too far for skippy, with a 1 inch high at 100 zero, hold on the top of the ears.

Can we see some of the HOLE package, or didn't you take photos of them. :wink: :lol:

Jack I used to think Treeeevort had his hand on it until I bought my first 20 cal.

I just cannot imagine NOT owning one now.

And the 32 Z/V Max are accurate and explosive.

Be honest, you still think Trevort has his hand on it!
Just not about the 20cal.

It is really disturbing that Trevort is my phones number 1 prediction as soon as i type Tre.
