Forrest and I took a walk after dinner last night to look for some chucks. about the third field we checked one ran into a hole. we set up and waited. a couple of minutes went by and the chuck stuck its head out, we waited a few minutes for him to come out, when it seemed like it was coming out any further, forrest took the shot with his 22-250, went over and checked the hole and the chuck was lying there with a huge hole out the back of his head. Forrest was happy, it was his first shot at an animal with his new gun. we walked down to the next field and another one was out feeding. i wasn't happy with the shot because of a road that ran down along the other side of the field. we waited until the chuck gave us a better angle and i took the shot with me .17 fireball. hit him behind the shoulder. flattened him out where he stood, small entery hole behind the shoulder, no exit. score is now Forrest - 1 , me - 1.
i like forrest new 22-250 and it shoots really well but i love the .17 fireball and no exits. it will be intresting to see the advantages and disadvantages of each gun over the summer.
