One less...Yote

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Finely got one.
Popped this one chasing my rabbits.
TS-19 Thermal with CMR30. 40 gr hp. Cci. +/- 100 yards, I'll measure tomorrow.
I don't think he'll walk this off.... Very pleased with the rifle, thermals performance. Not bad for a 3.5 lb rifle.( plus optic 2lb?) . Good control aiming with the hera on there. He made the fatal mistake of standing still.
Forgot to hit the video, dang it. Never took a step or made a peep. DRT. Still had 29 pews to go. Lol.

Great job nice shot

Thank yall. Wheeled it off, 120.3 yards. Easy to see the target at 5x zoom for aiming. Pretty good considering 22 mag that's supposed to not be "effective" at that range. I was going to switch it to the x39. Back to greasing the tractor and oil, filter change.

Yep. It definitely works. Will continue to use it. Luckly there was no tall grass between me and the target to possibly turn the shot. I've had that happen using .223. That's why I considered swapping to the rarr x39.

Thanks. Them cci 40gr jhp do the job.
Tell me about yours, the rossi. A friend of mine was asking if they we're any good.

I have a Rossi RB 22 mag bolt action with a Simmons 22 mag scope that will shoot quarter sized groups at 25 yds offhand with CCI 40 gr Mini-Mags. It is a great lightweight bolt action that is well below $200!
