gary29428 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Saw Charlie while out for a walk the other evening, he was about 250yds away. As I had no caller with me a blade of grass between the tumbs did the trick, you can see the result. Got him into 40yds and dropped him with a head shot, 22subs will do the job if you have the diciplin to wait until he is close and confidnet enough to take a head shot.

gary29428 Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 How did you know they were Eley subs Ashley. I was using remi subs but got a ****ty batch which contained some bullets that were double loaded which made them high velocity, switched to Eley and love them. Very quiet and hard hitting.

sussex lad Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Nice one pal, Ive taken most of my foxes with my .22 , purely because its the rifle i'm most out with, and like you say call them in close and a good head shot will drop em every time. I've got my eye on 2 dens at the moment with a total of six cubs growing up fast! I like to wait untill they venture out and about on there own before i take them . Just seems a bit more sporting than gunning them down at den! Cheers, Brian... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyCM Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hi Gary, Nice work. I'll guess at a CZ 452 Silouette / mod Parker Hale / Scope ?? Cheers AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary29428 Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Correct on all counts Andy, the scope is a 4-16x50 BSA Contender I bought for $90 in Cabelas when I was over in Minnesota earlier in the year. To be honest I wasn't expecting great performance from such a cheap unit but it has worked out very well. Got the Harris bi-pod for $55, same one costs 120euro here in Ireland. Going back on business second week in July and staying about 80miles from Cabelas so will be dropping another few $$ there. I know people spend vast amount of money on scopes but I taught on a rifle with a killing range of between 30 and 80yrds it's pointless going to town on pricey optics. It's amazing how good you can get with a set-up as long as you understand that set-up regardless of how much it costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
