hi guys me and my mate chana went out last night on another late fox mission,as we get our pheasant poults tomorrow for our shoot,we see nothing all night only sheep every where we looked,on our last field just as we where going back to the car we spotted this old dog fox,i shot him about 190 yard away with my new vssf 22.250.i aimed high as to allow for any bullet drop but as you know a 22.250 at that range is almost flat zeroed at 120 yard, so it hit exactly where i aimed,3 hours for one fox is a long time but at least we got one,cheers simon...

Nice one. .

 

Its all a bit high round here at the mo.. can't wait til they start mowing, I should be out sorting a few cubs out.

Your happy with it then ;-)

ye dougy very happy to be honest,i got it for the long barrel thinking every thing else would not match up to my sako. but i will hold my hand up that remy can shoot,if some one said you can only have one out of the two i would still pick my sako ha ha. and ye blooming grass is a ballhake,its hot now for a few days so every one around here is cutting so next week the critters will have no where to hide, cheers simon....

If you shoot a fox when you're out I class that as a good night :good:

 

A few fields cut near me ., I shot a cub last night but it was only cat sized but saw a few so will be back out after them...

 

I was also using my .22/250 absolutely brilliant calibre imho....

Three hours and will be worth every minute to them poults :good:

 

 

U.

your right underdog, this year has been brilliant for fox shooting ,ive had 16 just on 2 farms in 3 month 5 of them cubs, the other 11 adults, been good for the rifle but now our poults have come its a bit worrying.our pen is bang on with an electric fence so they should be ok.but its when they come out,will see any way as 2 of us use rifles and we have a cage trap that works 24 hours a day, cheers simon...
