57mm here for the past few days..

yeah things were certainly different back in the day SM...I used to love poking the old army disposal stores and shops that sold cheap ex military semi auto guns and ammo..

had to hand back half a dozen after Marty had his shootout at Port Arthur....just one crazy guy changed everything...


Bunyip...the farm is in the Warialda/bingara area of NW NSW...an old mate of mine from my teenage years, when we used to go camping with his grandad who was retired and used to trap and sell bunnies around town, works for the Dept of Ag down there...they occasionally do chopper shoots and demolish huge numbers of porkers but not near enough..he still loves to get out onto our family farm pighunting and fishing for Cod and yellowbelly on the Gywdir river of which there is 5-6 km's of frontage to..I just dont get down there often enough and havent had a rabbit stew for decades unfortunately...its a lovely meat isnt it....

Took the little .17 rimfire to test the zero today...I had it mailed up from SA in a crappy cardboard box but it looks like the leopold scope didnt get knocked around too much...Once i get my new glasses and can see properly and I'm not shooting in 20 knots of gusty wind out at Kurrimine beach I'll be able to get it even more accurate at 100 yards I reckon....pretty happy with it already and surprised given the conditions...200 yard group was about 6cm grouping and 6 inchs low which was better then I thought in a howling gale..

i had a few shots with a fella's .357 magnum revolver as well which was fun..
