  1. I've shot my mate's .243!Don't want a .243 as I told you!Am more than happy with my rifle-haven't had any Foxes complain yet!!

    .22 Hornet 35gr Fox no complaint

    .243 57gr bt / 70gr bt Fox no complaint

    .308 whatever Fox no complaint

    Also no complaint from 22/250 & 223 but for longer range/stopping power & flexibility .243 gets my vote.Oh and all cleared for reynard the fox...Job done imo.

  2. Check out york guns,also I know of a ruger with shortened barrel ,mod,laminate stock etc .I can get a price,phone number and more details if you are interested.I'm due to pick up my (new to me) hornet this weekend....PM if you require any other help.

  3. The same happened to me with blue tips,pulled trigger nothing re-cycled another round but luckily for me it would not enter the breech.I then found spent case with a good strike and powder in the case,aimed lamp down barrel to find blockage.....here endeth night's lamping!I have also recently found shot cases with splits in the collar but that's another tale on the stalking directory.

  4. Hi everybody i will soon have a slot for a 22 hornet but have not come across any on here has anyone got one to go in the near future please.Tenchangle is my user name and am located between grimsby and louth.

    You have pm.

  5. evening all,, i am in the market for a scope for my .17hmr make/model not important cost below £300 new as poss , and a bi-pod or am i pushing my luck,,,,

    Try rimfire magic they do a scope not indifferent to bsa sweet 17 I use one on mine with bdc etc and it won't break the bank.

  6. Sound advice from all.I have a 17hmr good tool,a 243 covers every aspect and for dropping mr fox I recon no higher than 70gr b/t.I needed something quieter,lighter yet just as capable at shorter range (150-200 yrd) so I opted for 22 hornet.Recieved plenty of advice and almost opted for 223 or 222 these may also suit you if an inbetween calibre is required.Your 243 will cover all the bases so you could try it out then if the need arises maybe look into hornet etc.I'm not too sure but are 17rem prone to shift around in wind?? :hmm:

  7. The thing is, you'll have the EA come down on you like a tonne of bricks if you fish them in the North or Wales. Down here, you'd be celebrating if you saw a native. Therefore the bailiffs/EA turn a blind eye to the fishing of them down here.

    Yes I agree,up here you are encouraged to fish them while trapping is frowned on even more productive though.EA staff have to spray themself and kit when leaving watercourse to prevent cross-contamination!!Should nets/traps also be sprayed? About 7ish bailiffs nationwide who said that :good:
