Her's mine,
a Sako vixen .222, Made a living for a bit, culling goats, deer and meat hunting on the side. Several thousand goats, and 700-800 odd deer, a few pigs, sheep, cattle, and dogs, have been taken on the job, with this little rifle, Even now, many years after I left New Zealand, for Australia and Canada,
I Can pick up this little rifle, and it feels like its a part of me, I trust it with out thought, and it has never failed me, surprisingly, I have never lost a deer or pig with it, yep I have used second shots, however most shots taken, would be at very close range, don't know about goats, bit hard to tell when your culling a mob of 30-40 animals, one shot threw the front shoulder and on to the next,
Had a bad fall 25 years ago and broke the wrist, and chipped fore stock, big dent in the weaver K4 steel, and a far bit of bark torn of one knee and side, spent a cold missarable night, on the river and limped out next day,
patched up the stock with glue and duct tape, and ordered a new stock, rifle never shot very well with the new stock, likely need a bedding job, I put it back in the old stock and just kept on using it.
Great rifle, many a night I slept on the hard ground, under stars, with campfire glowing in the Dark, up at first light, red stags roaring, in the early morning light, slowly slipping six 55g soft points down, as I departed for the days adventure.
