Not sure what your point is--too small sn area i assume is what you're saying...
In any case, i wouldnt be shooting a Sambar across a couple of acres with a 22 rimfire...

But I did notice that the noise of cycling the lever is 70DbA, and the bolt-action RPR is 68DbA in comparison to the 80-ish of the shots.
As I said, these rounds are _very_ quiet

Dunno about that Blade.
Im not argueing with your results, but i still think there is a difference...
The fact is i can cycle my 22 & bunnys at only 20yds can stay put...
But...let just one sub hp escape out the end of the barrel & those highly strung little blighters suddenly make like steel balls in a pinball machine ping around like they're plugged into a socket, easily at 60yds in a different direction...
There is something about the crack from the velocity, the echo from the bullet impact & ricochet, & that little bit of powder under pressure that is very different to racking the bolt of a rimfire.
That bolt doesnt release anywhere near the energy a bullet & the powder does
And WmT...dont let that stop you ventilating those felines...they are in need of fresh air...!!

Sorry to hijack the thread, but can anyone point me to where I would find this information in the Qld legislation please? I've looked and can't find any reference to these distances. I'm only on 25 acres so need to be aware of these numbers.
I'm just in the process of acquiring a CZ 455 varmint barrelled 22lr topped with a Vortex Copperhead 4-12 scope for the same purpose as the OP, hoping it's a nice little outfit
Cheers,
Dave.
