[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1443050, member: 10755"] I have 2 incidents to share. First one was when I was a kid, we were out bunny busting at night, my second cousin was in the ‘chair’ we had welded to the front of the ute, as we were bouncing along the dirt track, a rabbit ran across in front of us, plainly visible in the headlights, he swung and fired and there was a puff of dust in front of it and the rabbit rolled and tumbled, dead as a Dodo. We were doing around 15mph as this happened on a very rough track. From that day forth, Mick was known as Tin Arse, which is an Aussie slang term for fluke. Second one was me using my 25-06 and 75gr Sierra HP. Had set myself up about 450mtr from the furthest side of a rabbit warren that was over 150mtr wide, was getting my range estimation squared away when there was 4 rabbits in a bunch about 1-1.5mtrs apart almost directly behind each other. I thought I had the perfect chance to get a quadruple hit, aimed at the first one and let rip, through the scope, I saw a huge puff of dirt just in front of the first rabbit, then as it settled, I counted 5 rabbits wriggling and squirming on the ground. There was an additional very small pup behind one of the adults, all had been hit by shrapnel, 2 of which were not hit fatally, but had taken out CS ebnough for me to dispatch by hand. I never did this again to date, but have had many doubles and a few triples. Always makes me giggle when I think of this incident. Cheers. ;) [/QUOTE]
