Head shot................
.............last night in the packing shed.
.177 cal
Iron sights
Range 27 feet ( approx.)
Was going to use the 270 but thought at that range it would be stretching it and I couldn't be bothered trying to dial it up.
Considered getting a full mount done but there was too much damage to the head.............might just go with a tail mount instead.

Still enjoying the trip of a lifetime and making the best of what I have.....

Taking after Buffy, are you?

When it was hit, the rat stood up on his back legs, quivered for a second or two then dropped DRT.
Projectile did a clean pass through and still managed to dent the skirting board under the bench. ( Sorry Zee, didn't do a PM with pics) Projectile retained its shape and weight with only a small amount of deformation.
Hit them in the head facing you and they'd run away laughing.
A side shot like that was needed.
Was that one of those legendary Kynoch solid .177 caliber pellets?

It's a good thing he did or he just might have PO'd that rat and we would have been reading a kiwi obituary instead.
Well he didn't use quite that tame of language, but you get the idea...:jester:

Whats with the suggestion of going 'undergunned'............I believe in humane kills. At the most the 270 would have probably caused mild concussion...........if it made it the 27' that is.
