Hey MARKSMAN - have you noticed any change in the bunny population after the release of the latest K-5 virus?

You need a bigger gun so you won't have to pick anything up :)

I didn't even know this happened? Was trying to figure out why I haven't seen as many rabbits around my place.

You lucky dog, I've shot all the rabbits out from my usual property. I need to find access to some other land to shoot the critters.

Yes I have noticed in places they seem to have vanished but there are plenty of pockets of them about, I have also been seeing younger ones about as well

as Gwion said with a bigger gun there wouldn't be much left for cacciatore LOL

Has anyone got a link to bigfellascotts southern fried rabbit recipe?

Here you go.

I haven't tried rabbit yet due to a shortage here too. But chicken comes out close to KFC by just following the instructions on the packet. IGA sells the seasoning.

Well i have one of those i need to bed & ill give it a crack myself... (never done it)...
So now i know who to ask when i give it a crack...!!

In the interim...how far out did you go... ? (Just action, action & front screw seperate, or all in...?

Mine is over floated, & the rolled pin that houses the action screw is too short...

I have put a different stock on it for him now but these targets were shot as it was in the photo

its not hard to do
this is not that stock but another brno I did the same with devcon
its easier to set up than the runny epoxy's and will be there forever :thumbsup:
just like sticking chewy gum to around the right thickness and squashing in the receiver
I tape the barrel at the forend tip for the right height and use kiwi natural shoe polish for a release agent

my CZ does the same thing with a flyer from a cold barrel.that's some real good grouping but. have been trying eley ammo, tried the cci "target" ammo which wasn't any better. it'l shoot 12 mm groups at 50 at best, 20 mm on average with eley club.. will try floating the barrel when i get the chance. what's frustrating is a old krico 22lr i bought with a wobbly trigger will shoot a little bit tighter than the CZ and is less ammo fussy. it's all good fun but hey....

it is all good fun, I have 3 brno 22's in the safe and they all like different ammo
one has to have at least 20 shots through it before it will shoot so when I am using that one I will leave it dirty until I stop using it,
that may be a few weeks or more :thumbsup:
the idea is have a lot of kids and buy them rifles you want to shoot :thumbsup:

rimfires can be fussy buggars hey ? three brno's you say ? i can relate to that, ive got a few old krico's in different calibres that i like cause they are a bit different and reckon german enginered stuff is pretty good. wanna get my CZ a s accurate as i can specifically for wabbit harvest. probably will do those other mods when i got time and money. your old brno shoots real good but. do you know what year it was made ?

old brno's do have a good rep.i reckon the workmanship on your '67 is probably a lot better than my '95 CZ. don't make 'em like they used too hey ? i have seen some brno's in 30-06 for sale on used guns i think. they were being sold at "the barn" which is about a hour west of me. if i had a bigger safe MM , if i had a bigger safe :lol: old anshutz have caught my eye, saw one in 270 win for sale online coupla weeks ago.didn't know they made anything bigger than 222.
