camokid Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 hi all i finely had a few fields cut this week so i naturally got my kit together and had some good trips out. first fox was a vixen taken in the light about 7 ish she was making her way across the field and then decided to walk right to me i gave a shout to stop her at 30 yards next was a young dog later on in the night it was more of a distance shot taken at 160 yards i wanted to push the new gun as i dont tend to need the distance shot as i tend to get them in. sorry if pic a bit messy he took it well now it gets good i had a call from a new farmer saying to pop over as he had cut four of his fields so within a hour i was there keen as anything as i had not shot this ground due to the grass being up anyway i found a nice bail to rest on with a good view of the land and within ten min took my first customer in the light about 90/100 yards it was a good size fox and to my surprise it was a massive vixen after that they just kept coming i was useing both nv and lamp and hand and electric callers it all worked well i was having a cracking night with some lovely shots and after a few more hours i had taken five more 3 more adults and 2 of this years young. one cracking dog a right big boy with a strong head. one more in the light the rest at the end of the night so a total of six in a few hours solo i was pleased and i left more for the next session needless to say the farmer is my new best mate lol thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olliesims Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 What a great night/day, can not wait until they cut the fields around here to get my .223 in good use, those Winchester look like they do a fine job but what I've seen there rather expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Looks like you've had a real busy time Andy. Top shooting with a great looking piece of kit, well done mate! That rifle of yours really does look like it does the business very well judging by the photos. I'll bet you like it one hell of a lot more than the foxes do!

Ireland's Finest! Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Great going there, well done. What mod is that you have on the rifle? The set up looks like it weighs a few pound as well, how you managing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camokid Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 it a pred 8 mod. the set up ant so bad i was told they weigh a ton but that's rubbish the weight is not much more than my last set up so don't really notice it its a light weight stock but a heavy barrel so it evens it out really .

Alpha Mule Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 On your 'recommendation' I just bought a box of silver tips to see how they behave in a .22-250. My Privi Partizan soft points do the business, but,,,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can/could hit a rock half the size of my fist at 150 yards no problem, every time. it's a pity (for you) as they are cheap as chips.
