Archie-fox

It's head was like a bag of jelly mate and it was in a bit of a mess...how are you doing anyway andy??

When the round hit home the fox did a forward roll, when I've shot them normally it's like there legs give way and they just drop on the spot but this fox jumped thru the air in a sumersalt...I've never seen anything like it..the round really messed him up..

I just uploaded a pic of it as well lol...

I saw this fox about 150 meters away digging for worms...I flashed the lamp across him and he wasn't interested so me and russ91 stalked him to about 80 or so yards and russ deliverd him the good news with my x-bolt 223 The round made a bit of a mess thru the head and exited the chest area...

im on nights all weekend so wont make it but if i were going a 204 would be at the top of my list,plus scope...then anything to keep my mrs happy and off my back for getting another rifle...

Hello is the 204 a barrel burning round?? or will the barrels last 1000's of rounds?? rich.

I had a runner once and my mate went to look for it with his lab the next day as I was sure I hit it solidly sure enough it was found 50 yards or so from where I shot it...but for that night I felt so un-easy about what happend....it must of been adrenalin that carried it for a few seconds.... Well done for going looking for it and dispatching it..

Very nice mate...well done.

Well done mate...nice looking hound and fox

sold sold sold sold sold sold sold

I got a mp3 player off another website for £45 it came with a remote control... Down loaded 5 calls to it and the first time I used it got 2 foxes in ten mins...then at least a fox every other time I went out with it....last Friday was the only time I've taken it out and blanked with it, but it was tipping down...

I had one in 243 Wish I'd never sold it..

Thanks for that mate..yea face to face and being hands on is the way as appose to reading up about it.. thanks for the offer but i think im set,got a couple of local guys who have offered to help me with the hornet and 223.. thanks again tho

they are a classic...

p.m frenchyboy on here...if you go on my profile he is one of my friends. he seems to be well in with them rich..

good luck mate...speedy recovery.

im in mate...

well shot mate... i sold my hmr in favour of a wmr incase i bump into a fox or two at night.

im off to las vagas in 2 months i'll drop by...

Morning guys i am now the proud owner of a fully restored 22 hornet brno fox.. im am wanting to learn to reload for it but there is only so many books to read..in short does anybody within a reasonable distance to manchester who owns a hornet and reloads have a couple of hours to spare to show me the ropes?? you cant beat hands on experiance..and i cant ask youtube questions.. just to run thru the basics...what i will need to buy things like that.. will supply a couple of bottles of your choice for your time.. Thanks for any replies. rich.

great shots... those germans dont look too happy lol.. my grandad was a pilot who dropped troops over normandy dureing the opperation market garden...my dad has loads off bits and bobs from that time period..nazi daggers,empty rounds...ect. JR1960 is rite it could have been yesterday..

I had a howa and it was doing 1inch groups on sako 100grain factory rounds...currently waiting on a blaser .243 that I'm told should be with me by Friday..il be back on the sako rounds with that again I hope..

Have you ever owned one?? It does have the set trigger and walnut stock...I've got bits of it back like the action and bolt and 2 spare mags...should all be put back together by Wednesday...

I'm gonna say a 22 hornet as a small fox rifle...I've got a 17hmr and a 22wmr but managed to find a 1987 Brno fox rifle that had fired 1 shot then been put into storage. So it's currently with uk gun works being re-blued,the stock is away with stright shooter from the forum...and the barrel is away being re polished so as to it's performance I can't speak about yet but from what I have read about it looks the business....it will have a custom dm80 mod on it as well...will post some pics on its return...

Hope your proud of that les...I wouldn't be.
