kennett Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Just thought I would post a pic of the first fox shot with my mates new rifle on Wednesday night! We saw the fox in a small belt of trees as we drove along the middle track through the farm, taking a shot then might have upset a lorry driver on the A14 at the bottom of the hill so we had to out flank it along the far boundary of the farm. When we got back to the bottom of the belt with the A14 now behind us we could see the fox working along the flailed maize strip at the side of the belt, upwind of us. We kept the lamp high and stared squeaking, she started walking to our right but wouldn't come any closer than maybe 400yds. we kept trying but were soon going to loose her to a road on the far side of the field, decided the best plan was to cut her off, which worked and put us in place for the shot. One quite impressive shot at 224yds in a gale and heavy snow was all my mate needed. We guessed that she was walking across us was to avoid walking all the way down the plough and was trying to get to the drilling as it was easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie-fox Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well done guys...looks a nice rifle, what's the caliber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Its a Remington 700 sps in .243. I have been told, many time its got an accuracy international stock and nightforce scope. Personally I think he has more money than sense, but he's happy!
