   Happy New year Everyone. Have been to busy to join in the discussions, am packing up house for the move north to Orewa at the end of the month.
Still my favourite Airgun is the Sig ASP20.
This rabbit was taken at 68m back in February this year, measured with the rangefinder. Used a strainer post as a rest and got the head shot. Cometa 10,34 grain. Still using these pellets.

Back to the packing

	Sadly I sold it to buy an EV2, which wasn't bad, just more target focused.

	Hi Paul, Yeah, that's me - getting younger every day!!!! What a lovely rifle the HFT500 is! I bet you enjoyed shooting that, young man?! There's some great topics on the forum at the moment - very interesting eh?

	I just clicked on the link in your footer Dave. I saw that video when it first came out, but only just put 2 and 2 together. Good stuff. I used to have an HFT500 in the sporter stock. I love the look of that stock. Great stuff!

	Lucky? If you pulled off a snap shot on such a sneaky, lopped run, low to the ground, narrow critter in the couple of seconds it stopped, that's skill, good shooting, a good eye what ever you want to call it, but not luck.

	yes. I'd be totally stoked with that. Not only as it's an hidious native killer but as you say they are the hardest thing ever to stalk, get a bead on, and can dissappear into nothing. Hat off to you, nice shooting

	That's a sweet looking pistol mercs. Interested in the multi shot breech got a link? (might temp me into a CO2) You have an bond with CR600 billbob. Seems to have served you well, and mods you've done to it only seemed to improve it. Still think be awsome steam punk gun with more brass and couple of industrial looking no purpose cogs thrown on it Glad you like your rabbiting gun pauly5, cause I sure like watching the videos of you shooting with it. Watched latest yesterday envious. Was expecting a few gamo,bsa and other large volume guns to pop up on this thread. There's a lot of ppl who have great results with them, and swear by them.

	I came close to getting one of those breeches too Mercs. Very nice setup there. The Crosmans are certainly popular. My fav gun is my rabbit pcp. It gives me great joy to shoot, and I just love the way I can depend on it.
