Shot at night with my Brocock Bantam Sniper HR .25 (pictured below in another configuration) using JSB King Heavy MKII diabolo 33.95 grain pellets. Used a red torch clamped to my scope Bushnell Engage 4-16x44 FFP IR scope, no moderator, no tripod.
Recovered the carcass the next morning floating in shallow water where it died. One single shot to the face and it drowned him. I heard him die, but was not too keen on trying to recover him that night when I knew there was at least one other beaver I wanted to kill. l also didn't want to walk the dam in the dark.
Estimated weigh 35-40 lbs

Those Dam Beavers!!
Just unpacked from a beaver set. I can say this has been quite the experience. I’m tired, had some action tonight, worked hard earlier busting up the dam. I thought I was going out there with my NV setup but ran into hiccups on my pre-hunt sight in. Below was my intended setup minus the...

The 1st one is my 25 cal mega rifle I built with 11" barrel and a shorter np03 tube. The 2nd one is a kral mega with np03 barrel and a 280cc tube off a breaker. Both shrouded with marauder baffle kits. I no longer have the rifle in the 2nd pic. It was parted out to build the other one, and sold off the rest of the parts.

45-50 yard headshots on a swimming (nuisance) beaver. Legally taken with a .25 Brocock Bantam Sniper HR topped with a Pard NV008s LRF slinging JSB King Heavy MKII 33.95 grain diabolo domed pellets. I was seated on a bucket shooting off of a Primos Trigger Stick bipod.

Wow! Really good shooting on a swimming beaver… it will no longer be a nuisance. Are you going to process it for the pelt? More info please, day or night, distance to the beaver? Never mind, just visited your thread… those dam beavers.

First blood for the Maverick. And for me as a matter of fact.
.22 fx Hybrids @ 950 fps.
Two shots. Two kills. Both DRT. 45 and 55 yards. They were nice enough to stick their heads up while I was punching paper.

Once again the PP700 shorty had to take out a troublesome pest. Trying to thaw burger when Mr. Flyman showed up and was being super evasive. Shot was around 12 inches and the gun was cranked up to zero fpe. The fly started to recover and required a quick follow up shot.

How do you like your Viper ?
How about a review on the PCP section ? I be interested in reading it.
