Decided to terrorize some bunnies today, no meat, just simple pure genocide. So I took the baikal 243 out instead of the usual 22

I managed to get several hares, and the first one was this giant man eater.... it's hard to tell from the pic but it was huge. I took the top pic before turning it over as I wasn't sure what the other side looked like (ie what the 243 would do). Turns out I cut its throat, the head was near decapitated. Biggest surprise was that it was a doe, the body length alone was at least 50cm, and it hade shoulders like an east german swimmer.

Second one I hit did an awesome backflip into a nearby pond, obviously another east german swimmer  . Tonight she swims with the eels.

I'm very happy with the supressor, it's a DPT one off trademe, $210 and $55 to thread my rifle (local gunsmith).

Only thing that pissed me off was a couple of bunnies that were chasing each other for a shag. I could not for the life of me hit them. And the were freaking ignoring the sound of the 243 rounds and the earth exploding around them, and in their love chase ran towards me - adding insult to injury getting with 10m before making a u-turn after finally spotting me. Maybe it's for the better they are kept alive for the .22

I took my 308 out rabbiting today.  110g pills loaded up to the max.

I hit one bunny at close range.  Want over for a look and there was a pile of guts, three feet away was a empty rabbit skin/shell.  I didn't look too close as it was a little icky.  Highly reccomended.

  Too true!

I can assure you that 308 165gn SST's work well on rabbits

They're shooting sticks, stoney point if I remember rightly. These guys do some interesting bipods as well: http://www.stoneypoint.com

This is kinda like what I use, but mine are bulkier, older, and not as easy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo3DYzvz-nI

Cheers, looks not too shabby, might have to investigate more me thinks.

I will also take my 308 out rabbit shooting espcially if it's blowing. Nothing wrong with too much gun.
