so I suppose going out to do a 22lr scope shake down is target work Oh well ....... well anyway I pull up next to the
dam at the bottom of the hill and the reason I do 22 work here is there are rocks everywhere all the way out
to 240 yards , so a good place to see how the varmint hunters rec will work on my new Lithgow LA101 so I
set up my portable bench and rifle on the rest and i am looking through the scope to find the 1st rock at 140
yards and as I was looking through the scope for longer than normal I was having trouble keeping my right
eye shut (yep I'm left eye dominant) I could have sworn I seen something dark and moving just off the right .
so I have a look and for the next 15 or so seconds as he was only about 6 or 7 yards in front I even think I forgot
to breathe and I watched this bloke slither past with his head just up a bit I recon he knew I was there as when
he got past he sped up "a lot" so I jumped up and grabbed the camera and followed him over to the dam and took
his photo he was about 4' long and very majestic to watch .
