SOON? INSTANT

Sighted it up today, then when I could send a penny into the abyss from 90+ yards I knew that it was right.. So then a quick look round for something to murder, the only thing showing was a Dove (well it's a pest!) so from about 50 yards I gave it a free HMR... :o Oooooo! that was rather dramatic! half a wing tumbled to the ground and a dove lay very very dead on the grass.. Upon inspection there was half its' body totally destroyed! These guns are awsome for a rim fire! Can't wait to plug a bunny now! :D

I had a go with it, and hit within 2-3mm of where I aimed at 90yds first shot! B) It doesn't just kill, it obliterates!!!! *aaaa* *aaaa* *aaaa*
It's hard to belive that such a small projectile could do so much damage, but it is bloody loud, even with the ASE mod :o . Superbly accurate :D . Post a pic DM so everyone can have a look *good* .

Took the .17 out today to the woods, a Squirrel presented its self to me and so I took aim and the said squiz met its' maker.. OK I hear you say but just a moment, The damage that was inflicted on this animal was beyond what I had expected, its chest was ripped out, totaly, I could have put one of Hawkeyes thumbs in to the hole, it was that big! NASTY! :D
So what do I think of the .17HMR now? ACE, not that loud either! Still not shot a bunny though! :(

It was serious damage, and the hole was big, but Hawkeyes thumbs are bigger than a sqirrel! *lol*
I could tell you enjoyed shooting it, if your grin got any wider the top of your head would've fallen off *aaaa* *dielaugh*
Well done **yahoo**
