Chard you are just a grade A Cock thats all. Why dont you get out the house more, rather than sit at your PC posting on a forum all day. by the looks of your post count you must be a bed ridden cripple.

Quoted from the results. " Myth:Bullets fired into the air maintain their lethal capability when they eventually fall back down. busted / plausible / confirmed In the case of a bullet fired at a precisely vertical angle (something extremely difficult for a human being to duplicate), the bullet would tumble, lose its spin, and fall at a much slower speed due to terminal velocity and is therefore rendered less than lethal on impact. However, if a bullet is fired upward at a non-vertical angle (a far more probable possibility), it will maintain its spin and will reach a high enough speed to be lethal on impact. Because of this potentiality, firing a gun into the air is illegal in most states, and even in the states that it is legal, it is not recommended by the police. Also the MythBusters were able to identify two people who had been injured by falling bullets, one of them fatally injured. To date, this is the only myth to receive all three ratings at the same time. " its a pitty so many idiots had nothing to add to this thread other then derogatory remarks. it was only just a theoretical question. lighten up!

no i said earlier that i plan to shoot about 200-300 max this will do fine for foxes i think? seems the .223 offers the best all round capability. maybe this and a PES T12 mod on a Tikka t3 and im good to go

using a day scope adapter it is fitted behind any dayscope you wish to use. this converts the normal dayscope into a night vision hunting scope. using a laser you can also extend the range as far as you want

yes 223 seems to be the one right now. ticks all the boxes

im going by the fact that i use a PVS14 in the field, which is Gen 3 US select alpha tubed night vision. the best money can buy in terms of technology. much better than anything on sale in the UK and Europe. The recoil concerns come from people in america who know about this kind of thing. recoiling weapon night vision tubes are hand selected with large halos so the distance between the film and MCP, Recoil can cause the MCP to bend and voltage damage the tube. and for the sake of a few yards extra range id rather keep in on the safe side. the PVS14 is a monocular design and not a weapon sight but uses the same IIT. when your using kit of this value id rather not risk it. im still not sure what your claiming about range, i can pretty much see as clear as day at night, and my laser increases the viewing range way past anyone can shoot.

so are you telling me that if i mod up a 22-250 then i can get it down to a .223 level? this is very important since i dont want to damage my NV tube.

actually its got nothing to do with any of that. the only thing that will be a pain is heavy rain and i doubt ill want to go foxing in that any way. if i can see 300 yards ie. there is no trees in the way or a building etc then i will see it. then i can shoot it.

200-300 tops? nothing crazy obviously start off with closer ranges and work my way up as i get better. i have been checking some america forums about recoil and a .223 has much less recoil than the 22-250 this might be a deciding factor!

I have just been advised about my NV and recoil is very important. does a 22-250 have much more recoil than a .223? can this be reduced via a moderator?

I currently use this on my rimfire rifles since i dont own a centerfire yet. The PVS14 comes with a 1x lens but you can attach it to the back of a dayscope and use a 20x lens if you like. I use a laser for extending the viewing range behind a dayscope this makes the animals eyes shine and also pretty much makes viewing distance as far as you can see! The technology is currently going for about £4000-£5000 in the UK for local technology from france/netherlands but this doesnt rival the US gen 3 stuff i can get. normally £2600 each for a PVS14, PM me if your interested.

i honestly dont know that much about each one so i wanted to learn what people knew. since they shoot the same bullet head though it seems a bigger case can only be a benefit since i can use as much powder as i like rather be limited to the size of the casing of the .223 but then again there seems to be some very cheap .223 ammo around which could really help when i want to do some practice shooting. i havent honestly decided but what i want isnt always the most practical

yeh thats not a problem with what i got.

i could see a fox at 1000 with enough mag in the pitch black.

it might be a bit up hill to get .243 for my first centerfire. i think it will be a bit easier if i go for .223 or 22-250.
