Frank Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Poped off a few winged vermin at the farm i was at last, early this morning, with my CZ 452 .22lr. Got a woody amongs a flock of 30 odd , must get the hide and shotty out from hibernation. Anyhow, was doing well, when from the corner of the feild, out comes Mr Fox , Mmmm, i thought i got the 2 i wanted the last time out, another one has moved in i thought. He got to the middle of the feild, around 50 odd yards away from me and as i was resting on a bale, i had a Lux shot. His head was going up and down :unsure: , so i put a Winchester Sub in the boiler room, he dropped like a rock. Amazing. Great morning, lovely to be out in the morning sun. Pic below.

Frank Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Those winchester subs certainly have a whack to them, nice work Frank They sure do stuart , amazing bullet. Thanks. Frank. nice morning out there frank & a good photo too as hunter stop,s posting pic,s you start again fox with a rimfire frank :unsure: hell yes Cheers Magman. I would only use the rimfire on foxes at close range and a well placed bullet in the right organ. With that, sucsessfull kills can be made with the rimfire. The winchester sub broke a rib going in and exited the other side, distryoing the heart inside , yes, they are a hard hitting bullet in the right hands. Frank.

Pedro Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Nice one Frank. :unsure: I think you're showing us exactly what a top bit of kit the .22 rimmy is. A lot has been said on here about not shooting foxes with certain calibres, but as you've exhibited on a number of occasions, it's certainly possible in the right conditions. Excellent pics as well, keep them coming. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinGalway Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 As always fair play Frank, :unsure: Have my 5 larsen traps with calls birds (2 magpies and 3 grey crows)at home awaiting deployment this evening. Hopefully get the mink traps out also.. Got some new permission yesterday, looks very promising for foxes so hopefully a night out lamping over the weekend!! All going well will have some good pictures on Sunday!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 There's something about them winnie's... I tried a batch the other week... They weigh virtually the same as the eley + extra's I had been using, hit my 50yd target about 40mm lower (on bipod), yet pack a harder thwack on flesh, Very noticeably harder. I suspect it's something to do with the larger hollow allowing an easier spread of the bullet on impact. As for it hitting my target board 40mm lower? I think the larger hole is aerodynamically dirtier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
