markbivvy Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 My gun is zeroed for 200yrds as most of the foxes we see out on the arable fields are 200yrds away. this sounds like trouble as well. 200 yds out on arable fields does not conjure up thoughts of good solid back stops.

sussex lad Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 He was an arrogant d*ck who uses a .222-50 and thinks that .223's are **** and foxes shouldnt be taken beoyng 150yrds with one. No1 likes him, a picture would be good! Ill go for chest shots then, i just thought that head shots would be best. .223's are **** So how goes it with the .243 then Miffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Yeah dont worry, ive learnt alot from all of you and seen the evidence of how they can perform, thus why i got a .17hmr and a .223 just because of all the good things said about them on here.

Frank Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I have put nearly 800 threw my .223, only a 100 or so at the target SL, that head shot fox, has some of its brains in its mouth. Never felt a thing by the look of it, MAGIC, thats what its all about. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
