Title: Rattus can't pass up the buffet!
Post by: Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58) on October 20, 2019, 09:09:10 PM
I spotted this guy at the breakfast buffet this morning...  I know these rats can't pass up a free buffet, so I was set up and waiting for him this afternoon.

I made sure there was plenty of peanut butter and bird seed this afternoon in anticipation of his return.  He did not disappoint!

This one was taken with the Crown Continuum, outfitted with the ATN X-Sight 4K Pro 3-16X scope and JSB Hades.  Those Hades never cease to impress, they are instant termination in a very small package!

Also, since the weather was so nice this afternoon, I took advantage of the opportunity and did a photo shoot with my 2 Rat Sniping rigs!  Next rat gets reintroduced to the FX Royale outfitted with the ATN X-Sight II HD 5-20X scope!

Great shooting,
some observations, you AG's are quite, on the 1st Ratus, the Dove just raised his head and looked around,
almost the same on the second Ratus, AND where is the BUNNY ????  LOL   ;) ;)

Did he get picked off by your other varmints that are around,
I know you wouldn't thump that Bunny, the only one around......

Thanks,
Don

Thank you!!!  There was actually 2 exit wounds on this one, the one you see in the picture and there was another on the underside of his belly!  I’m assuming the pellet fragmented inside him!

Thank you Randall!  I like having 2 views also, kinds tells the rest of the story. I just need to remember to start record on both devices before I take the shot!  That’s a lot for this old guy to remember!   :-X

Thank you Don!  The rabbits are still around, one of them was out there early this morning! 

I have a DonnyFL TATSU on the Continuum instead of the LDC that came with it, so it’s a good bit quieter. The Royale has a customer made LDC the previous owner made on it. They are both very backyard friendly!

Paul....you are quickly becoming a Rat Master Slayer like BenjiHunter (Stefan) was.

Good Rat Shooting.



Best Wishes - Tom

Thanks Tom!  It sure seems easy with the right tools!  LOL!  I can remember when I first started chasing these vermin with a break barrel, they won way more often that I did!  Now a days, it seems like one shot, one rat!  Life is good!   ;D

Great shot Paul, like Don said, the Dove just looked around and looked at the Rat, it probably thought " what's with these crazy Rats?"......HA HA HA.... ;D
