Norrie Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hiya, Had a call this morning from one of my farmers, he'd seen a fox sniffing round his chicken sheds...so, went over to have a look see,....got there about half one this afternoon.......there's still snow on the ground, and plenty of tracks about so, decided to walk round the farm...after half an hour, I spotted something about 300yds away, it was a fox..so, decided to try calling it in....using my BestFox call ...it worked and the fox just trotted over the ground towards me, it was def on a mission, and at about 100yds, i took the shot, using my .222, 50gr softpoint homeload, it dropped dead in its tracks..a pretty decent Dog Fox...took the tail off it, as a couple of mates are into Scooters ( mods) and are always looking for tails for the whips on their scooters.....Really chuffed with this one,my first daytime called in fox, and it's the first kill with my reloads... This ( below) and the free range chickens are why the fox was in such good condition....I really need to get on top of those rabbits...

Berettacocker Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Nice shooting in the snow during the daytime. Like shooting in HD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrie Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks chaps, Yep, WelshMike, its a 1996 CZ 527, bought from a smashing chap on here. I drove down to Stafford to look at it, and bought it...I love it..it's actually my second .222, I bought one from Les M on here a few years ago, and stupidly sold it to another smashing guy on here, to move onto a 243, WHICH I found out I didnt need to do, as i could have held both.... As for foxing in daylight, and especially in the snow, I love it, and as already said, its like shooting in HD...that fox stood out like a standy out thing.....

Tedly47 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 CZ 527 by any chance? Yes yes, first new rifle I've ever bought, offered it at such a good price couldn't say no..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshMike Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Great bits of kit. I had a CZ 527 in .223 for years. Now have a Howa 1500 in .243 which I get on well with but it is a bit on the heavy side for my skinny frame (varmint laminate stainless). Shoots well so happy to put up with a sore shoulder after a 3-4 hour walk. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
