Hi All,
I am returning to shooting for the first time since you could still buy a .22 at KMart.
A lot has changed since then!
We own a small farm in Central Vic and have used a local knackery for humane euthanasia of sick or injured horses and cattle, but they unfortunately shut down last year, so I set about getting a gun licence, for the unfortunate occasions when humane euthanasia is the best outcome. My wife is a vet which helps with the ethics etc.
Long story short, I have ended up with a .22lr and .22WMR and a Hikmicro 4K Alpex with a Speras TH4 LED IR Illuminator.
Hoping to add a .223 and a.308 to the gun safe at some stage.
I love the Alpex day/night scope and it has helped drop rabbit numbers a little already. Being able to shoot at night without annoying the neighbours with a white spotlight is excellent. The only drawback is finding BC info for ammunition. I have tried using the search function here, so apologies if this has been done to death.
I would be grateful for any thoughts, info and insight anyone would like to share on these scopes and ballistics.
I am really enjoying the available training etc for hunting and whatnot through various sporting and govt bodies. What a pleasant surprise. The stereotype of gun users I had is way off the mark.
I'd also like to learn about deer stalking and hunting but I guess I'll try to find the correct threads for that.
Thanks!
