miffy Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Went lamping last night and ended up with this little lot. Shot 2 vixens and 1 dog and the closest was 40 yards and the furthest was 145 yards (paced not measured) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dog Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 You shot more rabbit there M8 than is in any of the land I shoot all put together, I so wish I had that opportunity. Great kill.

Frank Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) Thats a grand bag mate. Champion . Did you say you use a .22-250 for Mr Fox? How do you find the Mod? Is it heavy? Any link to it? How did you cope with the moon then? As it was bright as day where i was Cheers. Edited February 10, 2006 by Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Was like daylight here too Frank and my lamping partner is almost deaf and blind which makes my job 10 times worse than anyone elses Makes you have to work that bit harder to get any sort of bag, you should try telling someone who is deaf what you want them to do when a fox is only 30 yards away and still coming lol I've got used to it now and i don't think i would want to shoot anyother way full time......it can be too easy when it all goes right Yes it's a .22/250 and the mod does make the gun slightly top heavy but i had the barrel chopped so it aint too bad. We drive most of the ground in the landy so i haven't gotta carry it about either. had a quick look for a link but didn't find much, i've had one on both centrefire rifles for years and when i bought it there wasn't much of a choice that i can remember. It was difficult enough for most folk to get a sound mod anyway at the time and i just got whatever i could before the they buggaz tried to take them off me.

I was out that night too, but the flaming moon showed up every movement , the foxes were not coming in past 4 to 500yds. Im waiting for the moon to go. Iwas out on Friday morning for deer with my mate and his 6.5 x 55, got 2 lovely fallow does, a good morning, but very frosty. I went to take a few pics but my freind turned round and said, 'I dont want them plasterd all over the internet B) . He is of the older generation, not into computers ect. O well, i will respect his ways, if i want to be invited out agin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miffy Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 2 Fallow does from my stalking trip last week Frank. You shoud have taken the pics when he wasn't looking. When i'm stalking my friend usually videos all the shooting but every time i take a shot the daft bugga jumps even though he is expectin the shot and a mod is fitted to the rifle. Got some good footage of Roe though and some nice medal heads on film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
