A rabbit!

[Britsmoothy]

I have been pondering a long time as to what to do with my smoothbored pattern 61 Enfield stock! It shoots to high with the stock Peabody rear sight so I made my own but that means the stock comb is to high.
Many a member on the smoothbore forum would recomend bending the barrel but I could not do it!

So I shaved the stock so I no longer have to press my cheek down hard on the stock.

Now I just need to finnish it.

Took it for a hunt today and it was perfect, for the first time shouldering the gun the sights were practicaly lined up without having to move my head :thumbsup:

It was the same on the two following squirls too :thumbsup:

Hanshi, I'm not trying to be captain obvious but did you hapen to look at the rabbit's head?

Brit,
Nice shot and great work on your gun, as a greater man than me once said "Only accurate guns are interesting" well I would say that one is with out a doubt interesting. :grin: Chris

Yes, I did see the rabbit's head. That's why I was tempted to ask the question. Small game is usually taken with shot in a smoothbore but I saw no other wounds. I'm certainly impressed with the shooting.

Gents, it was a ball, shot would of done on this rabbit. As it happened he was peaking over a brow at me so shot would of only got him in his head and yes sometimes this smoothbore is filled with shot :thumbsup:

It shoulders good now :thumbsup:
