Hunter Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 So its been a while since I last posted any photos which is unlike me. Picture topics are the only topics of mine which get any replies so I thought these photos were worth sharing with you. The first is a large male fox (bigger and heavier then it looks!) I have shot four ox this week, and without doubt will shoot another 2-3 in the next couple of days,but I dont post photos of dead stuff so much anymore. As I never have a great story to tell.. For me im 'on call' fox shooter, I get called to one area of the estate when a fox is spotted and then track and (try) shoot it. I never go out just to hunt anymore as I dont have the permision areas anymore. Only a vary small bit of land with some chickens and cat food bait at night. This system brings all the nearby fox in ao in the day time the chickens are safe. I am on my 23rd fox now. Heres me at the range checking over the zero on the Sako. Later in the evening I tried out a Taurus .22lr revolver. Very nice kit. The Tikka out in action Im lucky when I get to shoot on a farm which is only a couple of times a year, so I always take photos Cheers for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 (edited) Thanks for your replies guys Wish i had range facsilites like that to practice on. Noticed the large fore end and raiseed butt cheek, is that the tactical stock or have you added the parts, if so where did you get them from regards That comes as part of the Tikka T3 Varmint stock Fine headshot :o What caliber is the tikka?I have one in .222 which i am really pleased with,very accurate and reliable Yep its a .222 as well. Good little round, easy to shoot all day but a bit pricey. Its shoots so well with factory ammo, I wont reload as at the moment I dont think any hand loaded round will shoot better groups then it does with the current rounds I use.

Hunter Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Only an 85meter shot, nothing spectacular.. Thats childs play for a .222 Yes on Weekends however I shoot Ox with a B2 air rifle at 200 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbruno Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 love your sako finnfire hunter i couldnt find one so i had to buy a anschutz which has been great good shoot and well done on the head shot very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rabgoat Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 nice pic's hunter good shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Cheers guys The Sako Finnfire is a very nice rimfire, I had my eyes on it before my FAC application, and the gunshop put it away for me. It was the last brand new Finnfire Varmint they could get in. Seems silly they stopped making them as they are in quite good demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the last brand new Finnfire Varmint they could get in. Seems silly they stopped making them as they are in quite good demand. Your dead right hunter the finnfire is a beautiful rifle im a bit confused as to why sako stopped making them and why they never made one in a 17hmr as i for one definitly would have bought one The quad is a nice rifle but i dont think its as nicely crafted as the finnfire. Lovely pic's hunter thats a nice looking range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Its a good range but sadly I think I will o longer pay to shoot there. I can only shoot .22 on that range, and no hollow points, so its useless to me as I cannot zero the guns (legally) there. However I do use the range for testing purposes and ballistic mapping though thats hardly relevant at rimfire ranges. I only shoot there in the summer so I can use the outdoor range. I paid over £100 in 3 years, and have shot there only around 10 times. I REALLY need a new shooting permission.. then again everyone says they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
