Shitpost / Memes Broc Flower Cave had some pretty good loot.
Just be careful of the Rodents of Unusual Size.

What's the base rifle?

u/A_Pepsi_Cola_Can Mar 18 '26
Savage 93r17 in 17 HMR with a SWFA 30mm 10x42mm SS in MILxMIL. Got the rifle for $100 and a bottle of bourbon off a fella that had a case head rupture with Winchester ammo. That resulted in a cracked stock that I fixed with hot staples. Got the scope for $80 at a gunshow and she's been putting a dent in the colony varmints ever since.

You should put a night vision scope and an IR light on the scope ring for funsies and to match with the lore.

I wouldn't feel right spending 20x what I paid for the rifle on a PVS-2/PVS-4, if I did that I would need a M40 clone.

Be careful out there, I've heard from a reputable source there's a chupacabra with an automatic weapon. And that's when they get real quiet, because they know the predicament we're in

Hell yeah Savage, ive got the MKII FV-SR in 22lr. Tack drivers and cheap. Always thought of it this way but never painted it or dressed it up for the part lol

I stuck about 15-20 cast bullets into the foam fill of the plastic to fix the balance the rifle. Other than that I dont have any gripes. If you have realistic expectations, Savage rimfires are top notch for the price(with the exception of the B-Mag). One of my hunting buddys round count is well into the 5 digits with the 17 HMR and he's finally starting to see the odd flyer. Still minute gopher at 200m.

u/ThePoeticJester Mar 18 '26
I made a 3d printed cheek riser for mine just cause the stock height is so low but otherwise stock configuration. I thought about fiddling with the balance but adding weight on a .22lr seems like such a goof when its nice and light

u/A_Pepsi_Cola_Can Mar 18 '26
Fair, I feel there are some diminishing returns when you get to light in field shooting conditions and positions. Ultimately its your stuff, and do what makes you happy. Hence the Ratslayer build.

My FV-SR came with a factory kryptek camo and bronzed receiver/barrel. Looks fantastic.

I thought about painting my 10/22 like that when shooting gophers but it's a nice birchwood stock and I dont want a white one...

Best replica ever, love it. That rifle was boss for a stealth build early game. I have been getting the itch to do a Stakeout replica from black ops with an Ithaca 37.

Varmint control is very very common out in the country. Gophers make hole, cow steps in hole and breaks leg = $$$ down the drain. Also, what do you think people do when they hunt coyote? They sure as hell dont eat it. Its to control the population so they dont kill your farm dog or calf. Go touch grass.

u/A_Pepsi_Cola_Can Mar 18 '26 edited Mar 18 '26
Have you had to put down a horse or cow that became lame from a burrowing rodent or badgers hole? Do you not like having song birds around? There isn't a shortage of nest raiders, ankle breakers, or calf killers and they need to be controlled, plus they keep the worms and plants nourished.

The score on the stock and trophy pic with dead crow is cringe. Diff strokes I guess.

Someone needs to control the population of those animals, if he doesn't then probably someone else will anyways

Iām not here to dog pile, honest question, what did you think all the 22ās and 17ās and 223ās were for?

u/Armox Mar 19 '26
Plenty of edible small game.

u/Xdust4 Mar 19 '26
How many people have you honestly ever seen eat a gopher or magpie? Or a squirrel or rabbit for that matter.

u/Armox Mar 19 '26
Lots of people hunt grouse with .22lr as well. Lots of people also use them for plinking as the ammunition is cheap.
Are you trying to say these firearms' only purpose is to kill animals not intended for consumption?
What about semi-auto, 5.56. Do those only have a single purpose as well?

u/Xdust4 Mar 19 '26
Iām just trying to get it straight why you are surprised by the idea of the highest selling round count calibers, in configurations known as varmint guns, might be used to kill varmints (pest animals and rodents) and people not wanting to eat them. Just wait until you hear about horse culling
