Well it isn't much, but here is my little toy:

NEF 17 HMR with a bushnell low light 3-9x40 scope and I have since added a bi-pod to the underside of it since that pic.

I have lost my touch quite a bit from a few years ago. I used to have them a lot closer to the dot or in it at 150 yards. The two groups around the dots are with 20 grain winchester game points. Up on the blue tape I was aiming at the right quarter dot with hornady vmax's. It deffinately groups in a different spot. The sad thing is I can't seem to find any of the game points anymore so I will have to re-adjust the scope for a new round. O well I need the practice.

Hey Dude, thats pretty good shooting at 150yrds. Watch out bunnies (or what ever else you point your barrel at). Is the NEF a single shot? Does breaking the barrel automatically cock it or do you manually pull the hamer back? (please note: two long words in one sentance Wink)

Our language in NZ is English mixed with Maori (our native language), some pacific island languages, some Aussie slang and a few others. (Including American).

Kia ora mate, whats up dude. Hows the Whanau and the cuzzies. Choice bro.

You have to manually cock the hammer every shot. I'd love to go for a bolt action but this way I act like I'm using my blackpowder gun, which is how I act with all my guns really, first shot or no shot! Thanks for all the welcomes, as for the long away time, I have been busi with work and stuff around the house. I was shooting it the other day though with a friend who was shooting his 10/22. I was doing 5 shot groups in a quarter at 50 yards. I'm happy with that lol! Here is a shot with the bipod on it.

The pistols my backup  Grin walther P22 with some trigger/slide/hammer mods done to it.
For those interested NEF is an offshoot of H&R.
