Been working on making my life easier when lamping rabbits
Am usually on foot, shoot off sticks, Sako Quad .22lr bolt action, lots of mags
Previous weapon of choice was a full barrel, walnut stock, moderated with Deben TriStar pro and stock mounted battery
Very accurate if a little clumsy
I bought a synth stock with the intention of housing the battery IN the stock until I came across a very neat Ultrfire style torch with red LED and tail switch
Bought a couple of mounts and made the switch multi fit so it also fits on the .222 in seconds
So now I have:
- Synth Sako Quad .22lr
- 12.5" barrel (fine job by J.Russel in Whitburn)
- 1.5" Extended stock (its built for pygmies! The solid rubber balances the barrel weight nicely)
- Aluminium mod (have a shorter fatter custom designed one 100mm long on its way)
- Aluminium Picatinny scope mount (eBay, very nice bit of kit, next day delivery)
- Red LED "Ultrafire" with custom Convex lens and zoom (tight zoom throw a square about 250-300m, wide zoom goes dim and wide out to 100)
- Velcro mounted Pistol grip Thumb switch (find this much neater than the one I had on the fore-end)
- Single stud mounted Sling loop (as opposed to a normal sling it allows me to mount one handed and just let go, no removing from shoulder required)
weighs next to nothing
very accurate, ragged holes at 50m
It is so light and pointy I am not opening the sticks for most shots, as a result I am getting more shots
all I need now are some more rabbits!
