    ....then there is the mounts and moderator, (and cut/thread/proof) and bipod and sling and slip and spare magazine and ammo and reloading equipment and cleaning materials and rods and Cabinet and whatever I have forgotten...... :thumbs:

    I would tend to agree this sort of episode is becomming more common/and or being reported more, but just the same, the fox is getting cheeky, not agressive, stand your ground or turn on him and he will be gone, and I've never had a fox try and get cheeky and nick my sandwiches when I've been out with a gun!

    ................and your point was??

    No you don't, this has been debated many a time, and VERMIN is still being debated, fox obviously works, but so to does ANY OTHER LAWFUL QUARRY, and there is nothing in that that mentions fox! Even if you were right about this then is fox lawful quarry with a 22lr?? it all comes down to YOUR police force The Fox has NO calibre designation whatsoever in law, of course it is Lawful quarry, that has nothing to do with your individual region. Getting an ANY OTHER LAWFUL QUARRY condition certainly does though! Nice i'm going to go and shoot some Pheasants with my .22lr

    There is no problem with fox and a .22lr with subs if you are sensible!

    You will probably have to spend a lot more to get better glass, what you are likely to get if you spend a bit more, is simply something that may respond when you turn the turrets and be a better build quality...does yours have the allen key lock on the turrets...pain in the arse......the glass is very good for the money!

    By inference the guy is reloading, yet he doesn't have a clue how/where to zero, so how does he know what cartridge to develop/use, it doesn't add up? It seems very odd to me and I'm surprised more have not picked up on that.

    Thanks to everyone for the responses and PM's, I have a shortlist which will suffice, my apologies if I have not responded to you directly but I have enough help now. Thanks again to everyone!

    Yep, my standard T3 Lite .223 with a shitty plastic stock and magazine and £44 or JSR Scope on top landed 8 V Bulls and 2 bulls with a cold barrel, new shooter (a member here) and test load at 600 yards.....they really are useless! (PS the shooter blamed himself for the 2 x Bulls saying he didn't pay proper attention to the flags)...funny old world sometimes! ATB! :thumbs:

    in the early days i do believe having read it somewhere cci made all the17hmr rounds as they were the only people with the kit to do it, Correct. They are all made in the same factory. strange that all them threads as to which is best I know its funny. I have never found a difference between any of the ballistic tips. I use hornady red/blue tip, and my mate uses remingtons. We both interchange with no shift of zero if either one of us runs out. Maybe though that is testimony of the CZ 452 varmint. They are not all, always the same, there are batch differences as with any ammo, and there is

    Its a .17HMR. There is debate over who "invented" it, but most certainly Hornady, Marlin and Remington collaborated (interesting H.M.R.), I believe Ruger may have been involved as well!

    There isn't a best moderator, the moderator each person has is the best!

    What do you want to do with it?
  16. Deker
    They rise more between 100 yards and 200 yards, theoretically giving approx a 1" difference at 100 and 200yards, on Hornady Computer Model, but rise much higher in between, that is with a ZERO at 200 yards! If your true zero is 100 yards I would be seriously impressed if any .223 has only dropped 1" further at 200 yards! If you shoot fox at 200 yards then you can zero at 200 yards, the only way to find out what any ammo does in anyones rifle is to Zero at that distance, charts and tables are generalisations!

    Ok, I haven't read all this so pull me up if you like, the condition "Shooting Dogs" is virtually non existant as far as I'm aware, as is "shooting burglers" and you don't need either if you have just cause. Just the same, the condition, ALL OTHER LAWFUL QUARRY, covers your backside if in any doubt!

    For field work I get by fine on PRVI 55g SP, they work for me and come in at just under £50 per 100. They have gone up a LOT in the last couple of years though (like all the others). 50p Each!

    1" high at 100yards :laugh: What the ***k. So, anyone tell me where your zero is, you know jack about where the bullet goes except it is 1" high at 100 yards! If you want to shoot foxes at 150-200 yards, whatever, then Zero there, don't come up with all this bull of 1"high, Zero at the distance you most commonly find a target!

    This is without doubt the best jacket I have ever had, and I intend to get another! Look them up for yourself, the features go on and on! This is UK size 42 or Large, (EU 52). It is all but brand new, no marks, tears or dirt and everything works. It is for sale for the simple reason I am at last losing some weight, I always was a skinny runt but when I gave up smoking a little over 6 years ago I put on 3 stone, well, I have at last got rid of 1 stone and as an incentive to help me shift the rest I intend to downsize on the Ram Jacket, so this has to go. They list about £220 the

    It doesn't need to be providing the ground has been passed for that caliber and you have permission. Correct, but this is business, Open FAC required!

    On the few occasions I have had a fox hit 20lb that is a time to celebrate, 30lb is enormous, never been close!

    I have to look at a new site early next week which is suffering from Canadas, a lot apparently, I am busy at the moment so I may have some shooting work available for someone. Please don't get all hysterical and emotional on me, this is a Canada clearance job, which the site has failed to solve in over a year, this is Pest Control, pure and simple. A Rifle will be required for what will most likely be 100% ground shooting. If you are available/interested probably best to PM me. Cheers EDIT For Clarification. Shotguns are a non starter from what I already know of the site. Yo

    Yet another difference, because up here the only people in the office are the feo's. Ha Ha, that could well be true, it is not uncommon to make a call to Thames Valley Firearms and be answered by a temp from some agency who doesn't have a clue.
