    Hi was out foxing on my own up at the farm on saturday night. After getting setup in position and after a quick sweep with the lamp i started squeaking. Ten seconds later a fox appeared through the rushes on the field! I stopped squeaking and he sat down looking at me at about 80yds away. I aimed at his chest, took the safety catch off and dropped him where he sat! Managed to take a pic this time!! Went and saw the farmer and he is over the moon, he didn't realise i had shot 9 foxes so far! Happy days!!! ATB Daz

    I reload for my steyr ssg .22-250 I use Varget which is a very good powder for this calibre. BUT get a reloading manual and always start at the min load and work it up, keeping an eye out for pressure signs!!! I use CCI 200 large rifle primers with the Varget powder. ATB Daz

    Hi have been up the farm trying to clear up the foxes early before the lambing season starts! Managed to get the first vixen last monday night, squeaked it in to 70yds. Dropped it with a shot to the chest with the 22-250. Then due to work i couldn't get out until last sunday night. I squeaked another fox to around 100yds when it started to get nervous! Another chest shot and that was the 2nd fox of the week in the bag! Thats the first time i'd had 2 foxes in the same week and i was well chipper! Would love to be able to get out foxing more, but work comes first!! As i go shooting foxes on m

    Its not too bad really as i use electronic ear defenders which cut out the noise on firing. Otherwise YES it is LOUD!! ATB Daz

    Have got a slot for a mod but haven't bought 1 yet as the farmer says he isn't bothered by the noise. The bullet usually hits the fox before it can hear the bang anyway ATB Daz

    Have found that my steyr ssg police in .22-250 fires factory SAKO and FEDERAL rounds very very well and the group sizes are very good at less than 1" at 100yds. The .22-250 uses a bigger case and more powder than a .223 but is also a lot faster and flatter. It also produces more muzzle energy and is truly awesome on foxes out to 400+yds. As it uses more powder it does have slightly more recoil than a .223 but it is still managable. Nothing like a .270 or .308 at all ! In still conditions the group i shot today would have been a 1 hole group. The groups i can get really do give you the co

    Hi was up the farm today to check my zero on my steyr ssg police .22-250 Was quite a nice day but by the time i was set up and ready to shoot 2 3 shot groups to check my zero the wind started to get up. Thought i'd still shoot a group and check how much the wind influenced the 55grain soft points over 100yds. You can see the influence of the wind on the group, stringing it out a bit. The wind was very strong when i fired the sixth round and you can see where it hit!! With no wind my steyr is a 1 hole machine at 100yds!! ATB Daz :D

    Hi i got 17HMR 22lr and 22-250 on my first grant and the ticket is open with no conditions or any mention of a mentor. But i have 20yrs of firearms experience and am a member of an armed response team. Think that feo's count an awful lot on previous experience. ATB Daz

    Hi have got a fair few crows on my shoot but can't get close enough to shoot em. What do you use for crow bait? Would try an opened up rabbit but the farm is devoid of em! Cheers Daz
