you can still get the 40g powerpoints they are just in a black box dylan got some and shot the same

Good to hear mate and I like big scopes too. Just thought I'd ask as my 77/22 is tight even with standard mounts and a 42mm objective. If I went to a 50mm I'd have to go the high mounts and my cheek would nearly be off the stock which isn't a real accurate way to shoot.
The old Brno Model 2's must have a different stock design - or you've got fatter cheeks

My two girls 17 and 19 year olds get along with it very well,i dont bother anymore they both shoot better than me these days,i just sit in the front with a can and open gates.:msp_mellow:

it's only a lot if you shoot 2 or 300 a night

Thats nothing,as Darren said when they are bad 100 in afew hrs is common.

21'' barrel on mine Darren.:msp_smile:

 

[deye223]

19" to the receiver ring on mine

 

[gcdible1]

Pretty common then, be nice if you could sell them or eat em. We used to raise domesticated New Zealand whites for show and sold the extras as fryers to local slaughterhouses.

Wow sounds like a big nuisance! Hopefully you can use them for something.

Yep, feral bunnies are a huge nuisance right across Australia.

Thankfully things aren't as bad as they were before Myxo, (eg. during the Depression) but for us current generations they do more than enough damage.
Apparently back in the old days entire hillsides moved with the little buggers.
They did keep people alive though, 'underground mutton' kept many rural poor fed, but you couldn't rear or grow anything else anyway as the bloody bunnies got it all.
Dad still can't face Bunny or Hare, he reckons he had it so many different ways as a kid it has literally put him off for life.


Myxo and Calici tend to keep them more in check these days, to the levels the boys above are reporting :msp_ohmy:
