    Use a weatherby vanguard in a 243 for foxes and deer, wildcat mod and a leupold 3 - 9 x 50 scope, although thinking off getting 22-250

    I stop using norma for 243 cause the prices where just getting silly, 1 place was selling box of 20 bullets in norma at £32 a box and another place where selling them at £39.50, so changed to winchester and get them at £23 a box, although had been selling alot of think it was serbian ammo at £12 a box of 20. Mate uses 22-250 and he gets norma at £22 a box of 20. Just prices are all up and down, when first got bullets they where £17 a box for norma in 243 and that was 8 years ago

    Cheers for that snap. Am I right in saying it doesn't affect the beast and game dealers still take them?
  10. East coast

    Couldn't believe it myself or the lad that was with me, sheep weren't even bothered about it. There's still plenty to get, hopefully weather will improve before end off week. Still trying to get pic up off dog fox.

    Had a last minute thought, so decided to have a run out with the light last night. Fine night for it and was fine and clear. Just left the house and 2 mins later picked up a fox, this is the same 1 seen 3 times now as he has a big chunk of white on end of his tail. Never got a chance at him so carried on up road and spotted another that was curled up in amongst the sheep having a sleep. But the sheep decided to run and that buggered up the chance to get him. Decided to head back down the road and my mate picked another fox up standing broad side on at top of bank, got myself sorted and opened

    Big looking fox, you seen any paired up yet? Mate shot a pair this morning while out stalking.

    Thats amazing they never asked for any I.D for getting your rifle back. Think it depends what part of country your from, I found them up here to be pretty good, FAO is fairly clued up and knows his stuff and never had any problems with them, then other areas they just make up rules to suit themselves. I know a lad down south who could only shoot deer from a high seat, no where else but from a high seat only and that was down on his firearms ticket.

    I got stopped 1 night out lamping, was just myself and the police came up road, 3 policemen in the car, asked what was doing and said just out at lamping for foxes. Asked them if they wanted to see my FAC and they did then they check the rifle with the ticket and where happy enough and chatty. Was just let on my way with no problems.
  23. East coast
