On any factory Tikka .204 you cannot pull the bullet out far enough to be anywhere near the lands, yet they are incredibly accurate. Mike Norris of Brock and Norris told me that the bigger the gap the bullet had to jump the more accurate at long range it was. The bullet in your picture doesn't look right to me, it looks like it is seated too far out.

The levi's wouldn't fit me now but i have two pair of brown brogues that i wear with moleskins.

Correct! i had a Lambretta TV175, i wish i still had it they are worth a fortune.

He who hesitates is lost! You should of grabbed the rifle whilst simultaneously administering a head butt to the bridge of his trunk!?

Good bit of kit the foxpro. If the British calls have been loaded it will almost certainly have pheasant distress, rat distress partridge, field mouse etc. It will also have a variety of fox calls and no calls on it for coyote or bob cat. I don't know if you shoot on foot or vehicle but whichever try to take a hide pole with you to put the caller on. It keeps it off the damp ground and aids the sound to travel better than when they are just put on the ground. Also learn your remote buttons so that you can operate it without having to look at it. You should do well with it, good luck!

Good going that!
-
Which Foxpro did you order and will it come with British calls already downloaded?
-
The rifle or SD? ?

Except it's a HMR! ?

Very good result!

Good result that SL and a decent account of the nights proceedings.

Is the picture you actually see better than what is recorded with the pard whilst foxing?
-
Yep! agree completely. I came across some east lancs clever arse once at the gunshop who proceeded to "poo poo" digital callers. He said he had called thousands with just his mouth. ? He soon shut up when i asked him to show me his vixen on heat call or his rendition of dog fox territory. When i suggested he had probably bored them to death with his mouth he foxtrot oscared never to be seen again.?

I would take an appeal all the way, don't be bullied or brow beat by them.

Nothing wrong with that!

A good friend of mine bought an Icotec GC350 and had no success with it at all. Eventually he decided that the sound wasn't realistic enough and bought a foxpro instead, he hasn't looked back since. Callers are just another tool in the box not some magic that makes it all happen for you. You still have to observe all the rules of fieldcraft and think about which call to use. I have seen idiots put them at the side of them then start calling when it has been obvious any fox approaching would be from downwind and then wonder why they don't kill anything. The caller should be used as not onl

A couple of months ago i was contacted by a friend to see if i would try to alleviate a customer of his fox problem. I said i would but couldn't go for a while due to other commitments. Well a fortnight ago i had fulfilled those commitments and was in a position to go. Consequently i phoned my friend and asked him for the chaps number so that i could possibly arrange a meeting that weekend and see what the problem was. Well whilst speaking to my friend he said "hang on a minute i will ring you back shortly". Two minutes passed and the phone rang, "he will meet you at his house tonight at half

I have just bought a 28 bore for my grandson who is ten. I got him an Armsan semi auto and couldn't believe how well it cycled even 14grm cartridges. I fitted a half choke in it and took him on the clays (spit) last night for the second time and he was smoking them at good ranges, in fact just as well as the blokes with 12 bores.

SACS don't cover legal expenses.

Good shooting and fifty three less nest robbers!

I think i would have super glued that back together and just kept it clean.

Funnily enough i found the opposite. The better at clays i got the worse at shooting anything live i got. I have found that shooting pigeon and crows gets me back into the swing quite nicely. Luckily i have some good pigeon and crow shooting and it is free. I started my daughter shooting last year because she said she had wanted to for years. I took her several times to a localish clay shoot and she liked it. I took her last week on the pigeons and crows which she really liked but she said this is nothing like clays. She said "it is a lot faster, they are harder to hit and clays don'

I am bored shitless after shooting two clays so i would most likely have missed three hundred and ninety eight.?

It's Rolf Harris! ?

Buy a s/h Drone instead and you will never have to upgrade plus you can use it in daylight.
