Introducing The "Skunkinater"

Man,
That looks like a nice set-up! It is amazing how quiet those match rounds can be.........sshhhhhh!

I always thought a nite scope was damaged if you exposed it to normal daylight. Or is that just the cheap ones?

I use a 7.62x54 russian Nagant. Not exactly silent, but it doesn't miss. I've also never wounded an animal, if you know what I mean.
I hate having to kill an animal that's doing what comes natural. But then I prefer to eat from my work, and not feed the wildlife.
Unfortunately, it's ferrel dogs that cause me more problems.
I use a "driveway patrol" to alert me when somethings in a place it shouldn't be.

A night scope can be ruined if used during daylight Its a night time only rig. But it work beautifully!

Looks like a nice setup. Is the barrel wrapped in carbon fiber with a steel sleeve? If so is should be much lighter and better at not heating up shot to shot. Then again you only get one shot.

Have you tried aguilla sub sonic sniper rounds? A 60gr. bullet in a shortened case. Very, very quiet but only good for short distance.

I live in a city so no discharging a firearm within city limits. So I have a nice pellet gun that keeps the squrriels out of my garden. Its good to about 30yards and then drops dramatically.

Keep shoot'n.

Howdy! yes its a volquartsen Carbon Fiber Sleeved Tensioned barrel. It has a steel liner then air space around the the liner then the carbon sleeve. It is then tensioned or stretched from both ends. Makes for a very accurate light weight barrel. Not quite as accurate as a some of the high end bull barrels but it is WAY lighter and more suitable to carrying around all day than a full steel bull barrel. I have some of the aguillas but prefer them in a bolt gun and use them for "daylight dispatching" when the neighbors are up and around.

I never get close enough to coyotes to whack 'em with a .22 and at any sort of distance, it would just wound not kill. I take more pleasure in shooting them a looooong way out.

This is a 6mmBR on a pimped-out trued XR-100. , Krieger 1:8, .236 bore, Jewell 1.5 0z BR trigger and a Leupold 8.5-25X50 LRT scope. (Farrell 20MOA base + rings) We regularly shoot gophers (Columbia Ground Squirrels) at ranges out to 1000 yards and this will group under 2 feet at a mile If I can read conditions right. My latest long range varmint slayer is a 6-6.5X47 Lapua, which is showing particular promise lobbing 115 grain bergers.

My favorite coyote buster is my Ruger 77/22. It's a .22 Hornet. Love it for any predator.

I love it!

A forum about chickens and it turns to firearms.

Up here in the Great White North (Canada) city folks think you're a terrorist if you talk about your favorite guns.

Unless you are in a small town. Half the kids in high school take the first week of deer season off school.

I have birds on the farm, and I declared war the night a raccoon killed ALL the birds in my coop, 25 heads torn off, one eaten.

Since then I've knocked off 6 coons and tied up one dog beside the coop at night. (one dog loose)

Bird hunting (grouse) is also sparse since trappers quit trapping (due to low pelt prices).

And to think the British introduced the red fox here as they they thought there was nothing sporting enough to hunt!

Happy Plinking.
