Hi everyone, Just curious to find out what PW members reckon the best weight of .243 bullet for roe is? I'm still relatively inexperienced in deer matters and when I started out, a friend who is a professional stalker recommended always using 100 grain bullets. There's no doubt that Federal Premium 100 grains do the job, but I'm finding that they make a hell of a mess on the way out of the animal. I shot a doe on Friday and her whole right lung was more or less hanging out of the exit wound. I lost a lot of that side of the carcass as a result, which I didn't feel too good about. I realise everyone will have their own opinions and to a large degree the choice is down to personal experience and preference. I'm just curious to see what the range of preferences is. Thanks to all, WG88

hi chaps apologies if this thread has been done to death. am just about to look at buying my first .243 rifle for stalking. after some online research and friendly advice from a well knowledged pw member i am now considering a tikka t3 lite in synthetic and which moderator, any to avoid?. i have another rifle in synthetic and find it practical. i have a budget of around the £1200 mark for gun alone. am looking to purchase only new and not pre owned whatsoever. can the knowledgable pw fraternity give me some feedback on their personal views of this rifle, calibre and use for stalking. any other information and recomendations would be most helpful. regards 7diaw

TopGunners and I went for a shine last night hoping to get me my first fox with my recently gained 243! - Top night in the end with me getting a hatrick and Dave getting a couple too! We went for a mooch with the rimmy's first and had a couple of rabbits each whilst we waited for the dark to come. Just as it started to get dark we pulled in the field that is known to have a number of Fox's about and the land owner wants them gone due to their livestock and various poults. We started the calls up as it was getting dark and after about half an hour we were startled by a cheeky ****** about 50 yards away, he must have stalked across the field between the sheep but once he was spotted he decided to disappear in to the fence line! We thought he was long gone and then next thing we knew he was back in the middle of the field, Dave got on to it sharpish and bang, first fox down! After about 10 min's more of calling up popped the next candidate for an interview with a 243..... My first opportunity at a fox.... the heart kicked in with a boom, thumping away. Dave had it in the beam; I took aim, controlled my breathing and squeezed the trigger. Bang side on shot in the engine room, 75 odd yards out I think and a nice clean kill! One happy chap I was! We were just about to head off and then I thought I saw a couple of eyes shining out, I quickly loaded up but whatever I saw had gone.... however we then noticed old Charlie mooching on a big pile of cow *$%£, about 120 yards i would have though, but he wasn't playing ball and ignored the calls. At first I was not sure about the shot but then he dropped down the pile to give a good back drop.... Bang my 2nd fox! Fair size dog fox. These are the fox's we had at the first farm. After this we moved on to another farm close by, as soon as we pulled in Charlie was on the track, soon jumping in to the bushes and making off across the field to our right, we managed to get in to position about 50 meters up the track and there he was making his way across the field, a quick couple of squeaks and Bang i had my 3rd! What a night!!!! But it didnt finish there. We made our way up the very steep hills around the farm and set up for a short period of calling as it was just about 1am and I had work! Just as I was about to pull of Dave suddenly jumped throwing the lamp at me to shine for him, the little *** was almost at the back of the truck, but soon decided that he was best off heading back up the hill, a couple of mins of trying to get a clean shot and bang 5th fox down! A great night was had, my first 3 fox's all clean kills and the last one was hit devastatingly hard! No pics of the last two as batteries were too low and we needed to get moving. To be honest my last one was pretty horrible with more of the insides outside than anything! Thanks Topgunners, Top night!

After a lot of scanning through threads on here and speaking to various people on the subject I think I have decided what to get.... Looking to order it soon BUT I thought I would run it past you all on here before and see if there was anything you would change?? A Sako .243 rifle, wooden stock and blued barrels. A Zeiss Duralite 3-12x50 scope Optilock mounts A-tec Maxim moderator with 2 extra baffles A Harris flexi bipod

I am looking to buy my first rifle and along with it my first scope I have put off buying a rifle for a couple of years for all sorts of reasons but have now decided to take the plunge and I have to admit that as much as i love shooting with rifles i actually don't know a lot about scopes and moderators. I getting a .243 and i would very much appreciate ANY ADVICE ON SCOPES and moderators, with recommendations of different scopes, in different price ranges (above £200) and reasons why. I am looking for a good quality scope that will be versatile for lamping foxes and stalking deer. (around the 4-12 x50 magnification area) I look forward to hearing any advice you have to offer. Many thanks

2 foxs last night on a mates farm. 2 less now I shot the dog when it was having a ****.
