This winter has been AWESOME for rabbit hunting! I have a bunch of crappy cell phone pics... but here's a decent pic of a bunny I shot yesterday...

That's funny! Reminds me of an episode my youngest sister went through a couple months ago in SoCal. She's got a Volvo C70 (or something like that) wagon that's her pride and joy. When she came out of my mom's house one morning, the dogs were barking at her car around the engine compartment. Knowing that mice sometimes like to build their nests in engine compartments, she popped the hood. What did she see? A little cotton-tail rabbit and a ground squirrel just sitting there on top of the block! She screamed and they took off. (Useless dogs couldn't catch them.) |
Oh yes i think i found my new rabbit popping spot!
.Not just coming to shoot!

Do you guys eat squirrel? I like rabbit, but never tried squirrel, that I remember, my grandmother used to cook up a lot of stuff back in the day...I remember frog legs from gigging, and rabbit, but not squirrel.... I probably have 30+ squirrels on my 3 acres. Only one big ass rabbit for sure, but we treat the rabbit like a pet. I have a Gamo scoped pellet rifle....it'll drop em. I am thinking of SHTF food.... |

Fried squirrel is fantastic. I fry them just like you would chicken. Red squirrels can be a little tougher than Grays. |

Broke in the new Rem 700 .223 today - this was first blood and then I got another half dozen. I just love shootin those rabbits!
ETA: Wanted to try out the bipod and scope to full effect, so I drilled this one from the prone position at about 240 yards. 
|
| Coool!!! Does the bipod seem to affect your POI at all, even though it's not free floated? I have an almost identical set up and wondering how good it would be for hunting wabbits. I need to get out and see how accurate my barrel is. But it's a LW like yours. 1/7 Chrome lined and nato chamber. |
My son has a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in .223. That SOB is a tack driver... |
