    I bought this one off a woman. One owner with thirty seven thousand miles on the clock. I oil spray underneath twice a year to keep it rust free.

    Thanks, it has had a two inch body lift, two inch suspension lift and thirty inch tyres so a total of six inch lift. It is without doubt the best off road vehicle i have had and i have had a shogun, a fourtrak and a lifted Toyota surf. I have also used various pick ups which invariably sink on me. The stand at the back is mounted in box section welded to the chassis. The stand is also box section which slides into the short lengths of box section welded to the truck. It is held in place by pins which can be removed so that i can slide the stand out and remove it from the truck

    Tac 20 is a true wildcat calibre based on 223 cases. I don't think there are any commercially available ammunition for it. The 204 is based on a 222 magnum case which is longer than the 223 and an inherently accurate one. The 204 can and will run hotter than a tac 20. Hornady do a 32 grain vmax factory load that is readily available and i have yet to see a rifle from any manufacturer that cannot shoot this ammo into sub MOA. I suppose it all comes down to personal choice as with any calibre. The 204 does everything i need it to do and i kill a lot of foxes with it. It rarely exits the target a

    Yes he seems to.

    In April i got a phone call from a farmer that supplies some of the birds for our syndicate. Our shoot captain had told him that i would be interested in shooting foxes on his farm. Anyway after a chat with him on the phone i got invited to go one night a couple of weeks later. Now apparently it takes quite some time for this fellow to show any trust in someone he doesn't know. Our shoot captain had already warned me about this and said he will want to go with you. Well it is not a problem for me so off i went and took a spare n/v spotter with me for him to use. It ended up a successful night

    That looks brilliant, but you couldn't pay me to live next to a river. I would never sleep everytime it rained hard.

    Depends on the powder though dunnit!

    It is probably the next HMR ie-shit! I will tell you what is flat shooting. I use a load in my 30/06 110grn bullet over 58grns of powder. It knocks Sika straight off their feet.

    It looks like that ruined 243 has dropped out of a high seat and mullered that fox walking underneath.?

    I sometimes bait a tidal brook near my house for foxes. As the crow flies it is about three hundred yards from my front door. The place i choose to shoot from is with my back against a thorn hedge and behind that is a six foot high chain link fence which surrounds a treatment plant. Where i sit is looking straight at the brook which runs left to right and is one hundred yards away. Beyond the brook the field rises gently for another one hundred yards till it meets a wire fence and a line of trees along the fence. It is possible to see into the field behind the trees as the ground continues to

    Having used both 410 and 12 bore moderated shotguns i would strongly advise the use of normal cartridges. The reason for this is two fold, (A) there is very little difference in sound reduction and (B) the velocity of the cartridges is so low due to being subsonic you have to increase lead by quite a margin.

    I would of shot it with the 70grn bullet.

    Releasing pheasants is absolutely nothing like letting badgers breed uncontrolled. Pheasants do not eat ground nesting birds, eggs, hedgehogs or Lambs. The only native wildlife that needs to be controlled on pheasant shoots are fox, stoat, weasel and the none native mink. A vast amount of native wildlife will benefit from controlling those species. This has been shown when comparing keepered ground to none keepered ground, despite what Packham et al would have people believe.

    Well done SD! However i have to point out that to qualify for the title slinky it has to be at least an eleven page saga of missed opportunities. Whether those missed opportunities are self inflicted or the result of a particularly cunning adversary are also to be taken into account. I am sure you understand that we simply cannot bestow the title slinky on every lamp shy but otherwise ordinary fox we encounter during our post sunset ramblings. So in summary if your or anyone elses "slinky" hasn't shown any traits of extraordinary cunning, or what can only be described as a

    Assuming there is something to comb over! ?

    I usually go to the local barbers and get a number one. However i do have some clippers and the wife has been cutting it for me without a guard on and to be fair it does suit my six inch wide parting. ? I don't think i will be going back to the barbers.

    It's a HMR (spit) gotta be all of eighteen inch for a quick kill.?
  18. ianm
    Well it only took eleven pages to kill a fox. ? Well done on getting it sorted! I have shot quite a few on the run through necessity rather than choice. I shot a fair few with the Pulsar N750 and quickly learned to allow a small lead because the pulsars camera isn't very quick and you get a little bit of lag. IE: you are shooting at where it has been rather than where it is. Oh and i would rather shoot one tricky customer than five easy ones.

    Good result! can't beat pigeon shooting to decoys.
  20. ianm
    Quite easily, nasty, horrible, good for nothing, dangerous crocks of shit. Other than that they are ok.?
  21. ianm
    You have got to be joking. When badgers are allowed to proliferate as they have done any wildlife on the ground suffers. They hoover up any ground nesting birds, decimate hedgehog numbers and will kill lambs no matter what what the bunny huggers say.

    I don't buy ammunition as i reload but a mate bought some last week, 32grn Hornady vmax twenty four pounds a box of twenty. I have never used the 24grn NTX but i have loaded 26grn Barnes varmint grenades in the past and they where very good.

    There is slow then there is comatose! ?

    What's occurring here? Nine pages of no fox! Yer running out of excuses sonny! Get a result sharpish or join "mumsnet" this is a shooting section and there isn't any shooting going on! When i check back every morning and see there is no result i choke on my cornflakes! Simply not good enough old chap, pull yer socks up! ??
