My rimfire is in the shop having 4" taken off the barrel to make it a bit more useable in the truck,so,I was getting a bit itchy,wanting to get out,so I dusted off the Rapid 7 and slapped a lamp on it,and went off over the fields.As you will know it was a full moon last night,but,when I went out it was also very cloudy.Well i went over to a stables near me where I have permission to see what was about.I had amixy rabbit off there the other night,so,I was half expecting more of the same,but,I was pleasantly surprised to find that the 3 rabbits I shot were all clean as a whistle,although I think I saw one mixy one,that popped into the nettles not to be found.
I took on a long shot,mainly because there was absolutely no wind beside a long terrace of poplar trees,and to the rabbits surprise I hit him 1/4" behind the eye,and,when I paced it out it was 62 big paces,and,it was downhill,so I was well chuffed.The Rapid is running at 38ft lb,and is on my fac,and,although I haven't had it out lately because of the rimmy,I enjoyed myself,and,will be taking it out a bit more I think.
