Rem VSSF Bunnies (204 & 22-250) - Gore Factor 9

Post by Drew Jaeger »

Just before Christmas, Andrew and I decided to have a last crack at a bunny or three for 2007. We went out to the usual property to find it in the best condition in years - lush and green with long grass!!!!! Amazing what a few wet weeks can do to a place.

The VSSFs nailed 19 bunnies and busted a young Basil. For those wanting to know, there were no discernible differences between the damage caused by the 204 and 22-250 at the same ranges. The 204 missed a rabbit at 317yds, the elevation was right, but windage was out a whisker.

Pictures are equivalent to a 1000 words.
