went for a dander yesterday evening on one of my favorite shoots and took the cooper along in hope of anyhting that might pop up at long range, first off got a crow at a smidge over 200 yards, he was the biggest out of the flock that were down so he was singled out and got a feed of sierra blitzking.



This shot was from a cold clean barrel, these blitzkings really like my rifle, they shoot straight from a clean barrel which no other bullet has done yet, in my rifle, cant ask for much better than that. Didnt see much else for a while so went to another part of the farm way up on the hill, I spotted three rabbits at 320 yards in a little marsh, this was a long shot for me as I hadnt shot further than 250 yards before, but knew the drop and windage at this range so was happy enough to take the shot, I added about 6 inches of elavation and with a good 10mph wind put in about 4 inches of wind, first shot the rabbit run off so though I had missed but one of the other rabbits stayed, held slightly higher and boom he rolled over, I was happy enough to hit one at 320 yards. When I got down I found the rabbit from the second shot where I expected, I had also took note fo where the first rabbit that I had missed was just incase, what I found was a pile of rabbit inards and a rabbit sprawled out at the end of them, he obviously forgot he was dead and decided to run a bit, so I was even happier when I realized I hit hem both.




heres is where I shot them from, they were just down in the left corner about 50 yards form the water edge(nowhere near that house you see up on the hill saftey, safety), beautiful views from these parts, you can see the mourne mountains in the background, they are about 15 miles up the road.



enjoyed myself last nite, always nice to be out and about the countryside.

Very Nice!!

What is that thing on the end of your barrel??

just read the other post. So just what is a moderator? it sounds similer to a silencer.

Hutch

Yeah it is basically a silencer, I pefer to call it a moderator as it moderates the sound rather than silencing it completely.

That is some green country Craigyboy! Good to hear from you, that is some beautiful country you hunt in it reminds me of where I grew up in the Willimette Valley in Oregon. When I get my camera back I will post some pictures It froze on the Oregon trip. I will be on Catilina Island for the next month hope to get some nice pictures there.

what are the chances of finding a moderator stateside?

http://www.Johnsguns.us sells them here in the states .
These are the ownership guidelines on thier website.
Kinda like going thru the paperwork to own a machine gun.
Seems silly to me..Guess we can blame the old prohibition gangsters like
dillenger and babyface nelson.
I can't own one in vt.but you can in MS.
If i get caught with one it's a 25 dollar fine..A 25 dollar fine!!!:lol:
But the good news is I can own a machine gun in vt.
Some laws just seem ridiculous . I suppose it helps to cut down on
law enforcement manpower.

Unlike conventional firearms, each change of possession or ownership of a Title 2 weapon (silencer, machine gun, sawed-off shotgun, pengun, etc.) must be approved in advance by BATF. This includes not only the sale of such a weapon, but also the act of giving or loaning it to another person. Failure to comply can result in a $250,000 fine, 10 years in prison, or both. Although the weapon can be moved by its registered owner within the owner's state or residence, transportation across state lines requires prior BATF approval. These requirements were instituted by the National Firearms Act of 1934 and were incorporated into the Gun Control Act of 1968.

To the best of our knowledge, silencers are legal for private ownership in the following states: AL, AR, AK, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, ME, MD, MS, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY. Additionally, they maybe owned by Class 3 dealers and Class 2 manufacturers (but not individuals) in: CA, IA, KS, MA, MO, and MI. Territorial law prohibits possession in the Territories and Possessions of the United States. There are no known restrictions on governmental ownership. If your state is not listed, check with your local office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms or your state's Attorney General. If they are not legal in your state of residence, we cannot sell to you. Please do not ask us to violate state or federal law.

As with any firearm, an individual owner must take possession through a licensed dealer in his state of residence. In the case of Title 2 weapons (silencers, machine guns, etc.), the dealer must be what is known as a class 3 dealer, meaning that he has paid an annual special occupational tax in conjunction with his firearms license to permit him to deal in Title 2 weapons without paying the individual $200 transfer tax on each weapon.

The $200 transfer tax is assessed each time a Title 2 weapon changes hands. The exceptions are to (or from) a governmental agency or a class 3 dealer. Interestingly, many class 3 dealers do not have a storefront and deal in these weapons as a sideline..

Each time a Title 2 weapon changes hands, the transfer must be approved in advance by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms. It normally takes 4-5 weeks for BATF to approve the transfer between dealers or to law enforcement agencies, and the transfer to individuals requires 3-4 months.

The procedure for obtaining one of our suppressors is to order (and pay for) the unit. The weapon should be ordered through your class 3 dealer. Although you may order direct, it must be delivered through your dealer. We then transfer the weapon to your class 3 dealer. Your dealer will then assist you in completing the necessary paperwork to transfer the weapon to you. This will include your submitting fingerprints and two passport size photos on your application. In addition, your local chief law enforcement officer (sheriff or chief of police) will need to sign the application. Along with your $200 transfer tax, the application is sent to BATF. When the application is approved (and not before), your dealer turns over possession to you.

Your dealer will charge a fee for handling of the weapon. We are not in the business of being a sales tax collector for states other than Idaho, but we do not encourage your avoidance of sales or use taxes.

If you are eligible to own any conventional firearm, you are also eligible to own a Title 2 weapon provided that there are no state laws prohibiting such ownership. This means basically that you must be free of all felony convictions and be over 21 years of age.

Your dealer can usually help you find a suitable law enforcement signature in the rare instance where your sheriff is personally anti-gun and refuses to sign your application. Your other option is to form a corporation, which does not require a law enforcement signature.

Federal law prohibits exportation of silencers except to governmental agencies with an End User Certificate. Please contact us by telephone for further details if you represent a foreign government agency.

these things must really bring the noise level down, if you have to go throught that much paper work. any ideas on what they cost before the $200 transfer fee?

Albright,
Where in the Willamette valley did you grow up in? I was hatched and raised in Pleasant Hill.
