Curly87 Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 These were the first two foxes that i ever shot, both shot at around 35 yards, using subsonic rounds. I was using a red lamp mounted on my scope, managed to squeal in both of them. Picture quailty isnt great, taken on my phone camera, couldnt stop smilling all night!!

Frank Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Great Stuff. I take it they were brain shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly87 Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 One was a head shot, but one kept on running towards me so i shot it through the heart and lungs, i dunno what u guys think of that? weather or not it was the right thing to do, but it seamed to work as it droped dead stright away. This was another fox i shot two nights after my first two, along with my rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsnuts Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Well done mate, what sort of squeak did you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochre Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Good effort Lloyd. Looks a nice set up you have there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly87 Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 To squeal them in, i just use my hand or just using my lips so i can still look through the scope. The set up i have is a .22 CZ BASIC, which i brought a synthetic stock for, so now is pretty much a CZ Silhouette. The scope is a Tasco 3x9x50 with flip up covers, its got a light weight SAKO mod. i think it only weighs 21 grams, which makes a diffrence for standing up shots. I also brought a 10 shot magazine, which is very handy when lamping from the back of the land rover. The lamp i use is a 2 million candle power cluson lamp with a red fliter, which can go on top of the scope, this however makes the set up relatively heavy.

billy Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 its a good feelin lloyd is it not?...well done mate, first of many i hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly87 Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Yer the synthetic stock was easy to fit didnt have to do anything to it, cost me £80. walked into my local gun shop, they just took it of one of a CZ Silhouette's and put it on mine. Compaired to original wooden stock its much better for all weather conditions. plus one of the main reasons i got it was because on the wooden stock i was having to raise my head abit to look down the scope, on the synthetic stock the comb is much higher making it easier to use the rifle.

Rob G Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Thanks for the reply lloydt87,i will give the gunsmith a ring in the morning.What bullets where you using for your foxes,i've taken them out at approx 35-40 yards with eley subs.My mate uses the cci velociter they bo the bussiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly87 Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) I have always used winchester subs, as thats wat a friend recommended when i first got my .22 and i have never had a reason to change. I find the high velocity ones just make a unnecessary loud crack, as long as u place a sub in the right spot at the right distance it will bring down most things. Let me know how it goes with the stock, because one gunsmith i rang up said that he didnt think it could be done and if so it would cost me a coulpe of hundred, so u might want to ring around abit if u dont get the answer ur looking for.

hill billy Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 nice work mate, and also nice looking rifle any plans for any thing a bit bigger just for foxs, i used to use my rimmy for shooting them i found after the first few that you really do have to be on the mark with them to kill foxs out right, i just brought a remington 700 in 22-250 for foxs and i love it to bits gives you more range than i would ever need and also gives you the ability to have a margin of error that we all get form time to time which is not an excuse to be sloppy but if you do miss place a shot for any reason you can almost garentee it ain't goin far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly87 Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yer looking to buy a .243 Sako Finnlight, as im just getting into deer stalking plus it will take a fox pretty much as far as the eye can see, making sure its safe of course. However just started a 4 year Mechanical Engineering degree so havent really got the money nor the time at the moment. So for now my rimmy will have to do for bunny bashing and fox control in the hoilidays. Altho my house mates dont seem to keen on rabbit stew at this present time nor pheasent, just no pleasing some people!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
