jayscott Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Just got my variation back from the good old firearms licensing changing my .308 to a .22-250 (lot more handy for what i'm doing anyway). Picked up my new rifle from work on Saturday, Tikka T3 Lite Synthetic Blued and T8 moderator. My day off for the week was wednesday so i decided to head out to the range! after a number of shots and no more right adjustment on my old doctor decided to go back and swap it for a Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40, no biggie the thing was on its last legs or so i thought, no bother! back out to the range another amount of rounds and i was closer still about 3 inches out on the wrong side. Anyway cut the long story short took it back and appeared to be a mounting problem zero'd it in and 1" group at 110 yards, that'll do nicely! After all that target practice and about half a tank of fuel less i decided to head out to one of my local land authorities i have seen a fox on a couple months ago. Set myself up in a nice position along a fence line looking down on the field and pointing right at the wood where i hoped Charlie would pop his head out from. 6:30 turned to 7:00 which quickly turned to 7:45.. i decided to give it fifteen more minutes or else it would be too dark, idiot i am went away without a lamp. 7:55 just as i'm away to pack up out in the distance pops charlie himself! Gave him a squeal on my Baud call and over it comes, stops at a fencepost for a wee and has a little look, "squeal" starts making it's way towards me again. Get it into rang of 100yards n it stops at a fence line and has a sit down looking round its shoulder i give a noise round it looks and straight through the chest. Nice way to christen my rifle with my first ever foxy little vixen probably this year's? http://s1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff501/...current=017.jpg http://s1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff501/...current=019.jpg Edited September 15, 2010 by jayscott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
