So, did the rabit end up in the stew pot, Bob?
Reminds me of the time my son had just returned from one of his safaris wanting to put some venison in his freezer. First stop was the rifle range at the ranch to check his zero since his rifle had not been fired since it had flown.

Target was placed on frame when a nice buck steps out just a few yards behind the target watching us set up on shooting bench. My son was not willing to take the shot until sure of his zero and surprisingly, the report of the 416 RM did not faze the buck.

Rifle was off a trifle, but nothing a bit of Kentucky windage couldn't handle nicely and the deer dropped right where he stood. Appropriate adjustments made on the scope and deer loaded, completing the shortest deer hunt either of us has ever experienced.
