Archie-fox

fantastic... should get some good results from that...

Good job I live in Manchester then lol.... Thais for all the advice...got a ruger M77 on order..

Hi mate I've got the new Robert bucknell DVD pm if your interested

Nice shooting mate...what scope you using??

Hi matt you can get them in semi auto as for shooting foxes in essex that would be upto the police force issuing your licence, im just in the process of getting a ruger m77 22WMR hope this helps. rich

Meaning???

I know what your saying al4x but if the WMR has a little more punch than a 17HMR I would consider taking shots upto 60/70 yards but I would still use it for rabbits but should I bump into a fox then it wouldn't be out of the question...if I'm solely out foxing then it's only the 22/250 or the 243 nothing smaller....

I've got a howa 243 Nice and accurate but a little heavy

True Kent very true.... That's why I didn't take the shots and just stuck to hitting rabbits...I think il still get it and try out different rounds and see how I get on with the small vermin crows rabbits ect..

I have shot them at that range before but I've had a runner once so I only do it if less than 50 or so yards otherwise I hit them with my 22/250....I just want to make sure I put them down if I hit them...just a personal thing really...but was thinking with a heavier bullet it will do the job more cleanly...

Would you say it will stop a fox better up to 50 yards?? As I really don't like shooting them with my 17hmr and was out lamping last thursday and saw 5 foxes but didn't take a shot as only had the 17 all the foxes were under 70/80 yards...

That's what I was thinking but I'm getting rid of some of my guns as I don't really use them so just sticking with rimfires and 22/250.... But want to try the 22WMR out for size...

thanks willy what are the prices for ammo for the 22wmr?? thanks again mate

been offerd a ruger m77 at decent cash...i use my 17hmr alot on rabbits at night plus the odd fox at short range... but i do quite like the 22WMR...

Morning all ive been offerd a 22WMR but as i have a 17HMR im just thinking is there any point in haveing the 2?? is there much difference in power ect?? thanks again rich

ok here we go...ive a buget of £1000 and im after a new 243.. ive just sold my howa as it was too heavy. im looking for somthing lite and reliable was thinking of a browning x-bolt or a tikka... its mainly for foxing on hill farms so in the budget i need a scope for lamping... any ideas??? thanks

well shot swiss

saturday for me...hope it stays dry.

hi i use a 22/250 and also a 243 the 243 with 100grn rounds for a rough hill farm with steep sides and the 22/250 on a 800 acre flat farm.. never had a runner with either rifle.

Was shot by a airgun pellet in the right leg when I was about 10 Hit by shrapnel in the lower back from a car bomb in northern Ireland...that really hurt, also hit in the left knee from a ricochet bit of a 7.62 round in training..just a flesh wound really..

Going up to Stockton on tees area... A place called yarm..my uncle has a massive arrible farm about 1000 acres.. So going up there..as I've never done it before I'm being taken by a local gamekeeper to show me the ropes for the first few stalks...then lamping after dark on sat night...but I'll be in the barns with the air rifle in between things...

Well done mate...I'm off stalking on Saturday. Hopefully get my first deer too... Rich.

i use a sl140 lightforce had it for 3 years now and never had a problem..

good shooting there mate....shame about the munty,

i have a .22cz and a 17hmr i wipe down and oil the action/barrel but very rarely clean the barrel maybe once a year..
