  1. Yeah, a second one with the new .243?? after walk around the far side of the farm and spotting another but not been able to take the shot due to bloody horses I’ve called it a night and will be back for that one another night
  2. Come for a wander around the sheep farm, been here about 40 mins and this young vixen came from around the back of the lambing sheds, I must of walked past it on my way passed the sheds, it was only when I was half way down the field and ran the lamp back up towards the farm that I seen it, only about 70 yards and was making its way slowly towards the hedge back, it didn’t stop to the caller and I didn’t want to shout in case it bolted, so took the shot as it got about 10 yards from the hedge back, a little bit further back than I would of liked, but it dropped on the spot, going to head over
  3. You definitely made up for the fox there, nice work ?
  4. I feel your pain ?, I’ve missed some sitters well under 100 yards, it always seems to be in front of someone who I’ve just been bigging myself up to, I really should keep my mouth shut in these situations ?
  5. I too have a browning t bolt and it’s a lovely rifle I also have a cz in .17 and that is a very accurate rifle for not a lot of money, if you want a bit of posh and don’t mind spending a few quid than have a look at the tikka t1x, they couldn’t of made it look and feel more like a centre fire if they tried i put a dpt mod on the cz and I’m very happy with it, its very light and you can break it down to about 8 pieces to clean it, it was £80 so not to bad and it will go on the .22
  6. Ha ha, you should see me in my Sunday best, stunning ?
  7. They seem spot on, they fly nice and flat, the down side is the price, the sako 70g are 35 quid a box, the lighter hornady are almost 10 quid cheaper but the rifle doesn’t like them, so I think once I’ve used the two boxes I’ve got I’ll look for something a bit cheaper to chuck at foxes
  8. Been up on the shoot and court up with this little pheasant munching vixen 231 yards out mousing in the stubble field, a nice one to take not to far from one of the pens
  9. Same with me mate, I think the only one I’ve got off the shelf was my browning 525 and that was still £150 more than the same shotgun in right hand
  10. Cheers, yeah they are a little under fully grown, they are good eating this time of year, I popped into my mates an hour ago and he’d made himself what he called braised rabbit, to me it looked like he’d beat it with a hammer and chucked a few carrots at it, so maybe it’s not that good eating around his way ?
  11. Pin point accurate that scope? I thought it was just because you were just leaving them for another day?
  12. Had a walk out for an hour tonight a good few about but very lamp shy, some good range shots with the .22 and a fair few misses, managed six, left two old ones for the fox and my mate got tomorrow’s tea out of it, everyone’s happy ? do you recognise any of these longshankx
  13. Ha ha, that’s almost racist, us wonky lefties are a proud people ? i fell discriminated against by the gun manufacturers as they seem to think it’s ok to charge me more for my guns, the buggers ?
  14. Very nice, that would look lovely in my conservatory ?
  15. Welcome, you could book days out on deer and driven game, if you don’t mind paying for it, but my advice would be to spend some time at your local gun clubs and clay pigeon shoots, get to know a few people, offer your services for beating on local shoots, make a few friends at these places and I’m sure one or two of them will invite you out with them, good luck?
  16. He was pecking at all the poults, I had a couple of dead outside the pen and a few more that had been arse pecked, so he got the blame, they are a bloody nightmare when they get in the pen
  17. It’s sometimes frowned upon and some forces don’t let you use it but I have wrecked a fair few foxes with the 17hmr, head shot under 100 yards they go nowhere, it’s a bit of a marmite round, some people love them some think they are pointless, I like them and own two
  18. Boringly accurate is good for me, it’s what the Fin’s at sako do best ?
  19. For an all rounder you won’t go wrong with a .243 there seems to be endless off the shelf loads for fox and deer ?
  20. Pick up the new t3x lite in .243 today, dpt mod, vortex scope, had a play with it, grouping very well with sako 70 gr, not so good with the honady lighter bullet so the 70’s it is
  21. Been up today and they are looking well, taking feed and not masses out of the pen, had an old cock harassing them around one of the pens so sadly he had to go, the other shoot members seem to be doing a good job feeding and walking them in
  22. If it was for a fox rifle I’d go 22-250, neither of them is suited to deer, for something to do both I’d go .243?
  23. Bloody hell I was only trying to help you out and now you are willing to risk me getting buggered off a fox so you can take a shot at it ??
  24. I’ve got some fox lure, we will have to give ourselves a spray with that, it’s more expensive than my old spice but I think the foxes are worth it?
  25. Can’t go wrong at that price, it does the same job as the rest of them ?
