How far away would you shoot a rabbit with a .22 rimfire? 50 yards? 60? Maybe even 80? That’s nothing to Robert Bucknell’s gamekeeper friend, Jon Cook. He’s happy taking them at 200 yards. That is possible thanks to a new scope he bought recently. It’s an Arken Zulus HD 5-20x LRF – a digital day-night scope with a laser rangefinder and ballistic calculator. Once you have set it up, two presses on the button will tell the range and provide an aiming mark calculated for that distance. Jon finds it allows him to shoot not just rabbits but also foxes at ranges previously unthinkable with his 40-year-old CZ bolt-action.
