My first of the summer

tatters · 06-22-2009

Dang... I finally shot my first groundhog of the summer. I have been hunting this farm for quite a few years, and combined with the coyotes, I thought we had most of them. Well, I finally see one near a corn field along a riverbank, dining on some of the clover and grass along the edge.

Fortunately I had my Charles Daly Superior II .22 (CZ99, Rem. Model 5) one of the only rifles I own that up 'til now, had not drawn blood. The only one left, if I remember right, is my HiPoint 995. That's in the car now.

Anyway, I see the one I want to go after and he takes off, and lo and behold I see another one pretty close, 30 yards or so. CD Superior II with a Zhumel 3-10x42?with side focus AO, American Eagle 38 grain HP. Great combo, the CD really likes that round.

Next step is to get the 995 initiated.

I had a 995 for a couple days and was pretty impressed by the accuracy. When I bought it, it had a red dot scope on it and I could empty the clip at 60 yards and put all of them into a paper plate.
