Re: Game Keeper - Question on those CCI segmented 40 grainer

I would like to know how they would perform on large Rabbits, unfortunately there are no Rabbits where I shoot, only Hares and I won't shoot them.
I think they would do the job well, they certainly work well on Squirrels at between 35 and 75 yds.

Re: Hunting is not what you can kill but a fair chase.

I love hunting and I always try to be fair to my quarry, I also have worked in pest control for over 30 years. I have to kill pests with little hunting involved, just killing as quickly and humanely as I can. I value and respect the life of quarry that I hunt and I also respect the pests that I have...

Re: Double guns

I don't mind either S/S or O/U as long as it has double triggers, single triggers on a double barreled shotgun are just a complicated breakage waiting to happen.
I know some single triggers never give trouble but I've seen too many of the other kind to trust 'em. :wink:
