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?

Knowing the size of that lighter, I think you chose well forgoing the 270 for the 177 :tooth:
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:
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.

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.
