Hemi will just occasionally refuse to pick up. I head over, put him on a lead, walk him away and send him to retrieve again.

Indy and I went to the howick rifle range last night, Indy is a better shot than I (he scored 87 I got 75) although at least I shot at the right target.......

Was great fun tho, i'll be going every week untill I find some place better / closer to the north shore.

lol ok geez i shot at the wrong target i miss heard.

anyways after that experience i know i'll be getting a .22 in my collection when i start it (once i get my licence)

I like the look of the Mk II Savage , $525 for the wooden stock model from sportways

Yes; Goldens are great for cuddle, not so good for brain.

I'd love a good dog to hunt with, but that's years away. I wouldn't condemn such an animal to living in a suburban backyard and spending all of its weekdays alone.

It's lethal in the wrong hands. More so in the right ones.

not like those old fuckin muzzle loading muskets that are spent after one round and take twenty minutes to reload.

I think ive heard of that one, it has a really short barrel,

lol

The De Lisle Carbine, perhaps?

Ah yes, the de Lisle carbine!

But no, I was talking about 303s converted to 410 shotgun complete with smooth-bore barrel.

Popular in the UK waay back 'cos a shotgun was less hassle to own than a rifle.

yes well actually I hate using shotguns, one shot and everything runs off. I jst did it for the fun of it. In reality I used a silenced .22

TL1000S with a grapefruit crammed in the muffler becomes a grapefruit cannon, does that count?

There is a good article, on these, in the NZ Guns magazine that has just been posted out.

I might have a crack at bunny busting for the neighbours. Problem is some of them get cranky about shooting, I don't know shit about rifles and don't have a firearms licence. How about them high powered air rifles with a silencer?

You shouldn't need a silencer with an air rifle.
