One shot, one kill

[AirNGasman]

At only 36" overall, less than eight pounds, and a ten-shot bolt-action repeater, my .22 Brocock Bantam Hi-Lite 'semi bullpup' topped with a Japanese-made Weaver V-16 is not only my go-to pester, but also my 35 Foot Pound Class Bench-Rest Silhouette competition rifle and back-up Extreme Field Target rig. Both competitions are to 100 yards, almost always in challenging winds.

Always having a strong preference for carbines over longer rifles, I also find the Bantam to be one of the most ergonomically comfortable rifles I've ever shouldered; be it from offhand position or bench-rest.

Producing the excellent numbers below virtue of the UNregulated Slingshot hammer/valve system, Mini Max is also one of extremely few airguns I've owned that has averaged 1/2" or smaller groups at 50 yards (in fact, more than once ).

18.1 grain JSB, 250 BAR fill, 54 shot powerband- Low= 871, High= 892, Extreme Spread= 21, Standard Deviation= 3, Average= 884 FPS/31.5 FPE.

Many a pest bird and feral cat have fallen to MM; cats always brain-shot from offhand.

All I get from my question is "Laughing Idiot" emojicons. I fuCCC'n HATE emojicons -- if you have something to SAY, then SAY it. I'm done for today.

Haha fair enough. In my opinion it still counts. The whole “one shot, one kill” notion is about repeatability right? So if you know that you need a dry fire to reset plenum pressure and it works every time that’s money imo.

Does it count as "one shot, one kill" if I have to dry-fire first to reset my plenum pressure to where I set the regulator?

Ah the old Impact muscle memory dry fire, load, cock hammer, take aim, fire, then one shot, one kill! My opinion is, sure why not, close enough! Bird in the hand is better than two in the bush!

Here’s one more….grey fox at only 63 yards using a U2 .30 700mm shooting AVS 62.5 at 890 fps (acquired from Vetmx).

I've got squirrels that come up on my patio, so the range is generally from 20' to 60'. Was using a Gamo Shadow Whisper .177 for the past 4 weeks but starting today, using a Hatsan Mod 95 .22.

Might try not being so sensitive, believe it just means it was thought funny the way you put it. Dont believe the emojis have any description with them so they can be interpreted any way the user or receiver feels like.

Nice fox pelt! I would love to tan that hide for a nice hunting pouch for gear.

"Most of my year-round work gets handled with small bores, but when it’s time to drop the hammer—especially on the bigger pests that demand reach, precision, and reliable energy dump—I reach for my .308 Texan. It’s tuned for 150 grain semi-flat nose boat tails running at 990 fps, paired with a DNT Zulus HD 5-20x for fast ranging and tracking. I’ve dialed it in for consistent shot placement, and if I do my part, it just doesn’t miss. Confidence piece for the jobs that leave no margin for error."

So first thing this morning my gun comes out of its bag, I set it on my ghetto shooting bag(rice in a ziplock) and down goes the bird. What’s funny is the Dnt lets me save multiple zeroing profiles so this is my short range 30gr slug that I just saved a new profile for yesterday. As opposed to my usual 75y zero with my 31gr… didn’t even have to run a patch. Just switch magazines.

Hi DeanB. You're right. I meant for it to be a serious question, but I was too vague in the way I asked. Thanks for understanding.

That sounds absolutely sublime.
