Shaun_300 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Had a little fun on Tuesday on my day off. Where I'm living now is out in the country with my girlfriend on a farm. Fields all around us with lots of pests to keep me busy. Saw a groundhog out at around 200 yards so I grabbed the rifle and made a great headshot. Those Federal 52gr BTHP Sierra factory loads sure do a good job out of my .220 Swift!! Not 10 minutes later I spotted another one at around 150 yards. Leaned the gun down on a fence post and squeezed off. 2 for 2! The slayer, Browning FN .220 Swift, Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks John. Picked it up at a gun show a few years ago for real cheap. Always wanted that caliber and it was in great shape so I got it. Nice shape for 1958, shoots really nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 nice shooting Shaun! those little bullets sure do mess up the chucks. My chuck hunting got put on hold for a little while. Have a baby now and my scope wasn't holding its zero. Nikon worked their magic and I should be getting it back sometime this week. Most of the time you've only got head shots because they're popped just out of their hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
