nickcass23 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Went out today with my mate Matty to be honest we didnt expect too much. Been out a couple of times on my own since I got the .223 and not had a sniff!! Anyway had a word with another mate who's got a foxpro and off we went with a smile and a little hope. Set up the Foxpro on distressed young rabbit and waited..........................................only 15 minutes and wow there was movement. Saw the fox circle the caller and start to move away so we paused the distress using the remote-and charlie stopped straight away. The shot was on, I knew that the rifle was spot on having spent an hour zeroing as soon as we got to the permission Charlie was 100 yds out so placed the crosshairs on the engine room and pulled the trigger. Straight down dead and my heart pounding out loud. Thats amazing my first fox with my new .223 am so pleased. Remmington .223 VLS I love you what a fantastic piece of kit.
