Thank you Ed!

Great shot and video but I noticed something.  When I was watching it looked like you were too high on the aim at at 18 yards I thought you'd over shoot it but the exact opposite, the POI looked about 1 mil dot low.  Check it out, I may be wrong but you might be sighted in a bit low...

Thank you. If you look at the pic I posted of the dead mouse you will see the pellet took of the top of his head. It didnt hit one bar low it actually hit slightly below the croshairs. Thats where the pellet hits at 18 yds with my current zero and thats why I aimed slightly above I knew the pellet was going to be just under the crosshair.

Voles have short hairy tails.
Mice tails are quite a bit longer. From the looks of that tail in the video, I'm gonna say it's a mouse!

Nice shooting! Looks like a lot of fun.
Hate mice. Especially when they get into buildings and walls, and paperwork and drawers.
Did I mention I hate 'em?

Thanks guys.

It was only a couple inches long so it would have to be a very small rat. there isnt suppose to be any Norway rats in this part of MT and very few where it says they are in MT. Here is a pic of the after math.

Thank you Jim. Ya it is fun shooting rodents. I have shot two in the last couple days at work and there are allot more on the companies property so maybe this will be the year for me to shoot a few

LOL yes he did.

   Too bad I wasn't into airguns and hunting with them years ago. I worked in Seattle on the bank of the Duwamish River, and understand they were all over.

I figured it might be something like that.  You know your gun, great shot!

Thanks again. My S10 is tuned for 10.6 FPE & most of my shots are between 20 - 30 yds. So with a far zero of 30 yds my near zero is just under 20 yds. The S10 is the go to bird feeder rifle but it has taken its fair share of ground & tree squirrels

Huh. Just dawned on me that I could possibly be shooting the darn mice at work. They are all up in the walls and ceiling... Hmmmm.
Are they mostly nocturnal? So I'd have to hang around at night?

I think mice are mostly nocturnal. I do see them out during daylight. Around here its been very cold and we got some early spring weather so I think it made the mice and voles more active.
