I will let you know tomorrow. I'm picking up my new .222 brno and can't wait to get started. I have only been waiting from January for my FAC to be returned, but hey thats another storey. I'm also changing my 12g o/u for a new beretta semi auto stone coat gold.......What a weekend Hi Derry Boy, How is the new .222 going? It is going great thanks. I just ordered a new swarovski scope 4-12x50 with the plex rectical for it.I will post some pics when I get it all set up.

thats easy you need a spaineil for that job good working ones and wil bush and fetch back what you shoot but you need to get a pup or pay £1000 for a good one lots of pups on ere for sale £1000 for a good one its a pup he wants not a fully trained trialing dog. ull pic up a good pup for 2-400 pounds these prices are getting a bit stupid of late. Young boys starting out are put off from the word go by the price. Me personally would give my pups away free to a good working home to get kids involved in shooting. atb a good pup will cost you 400 or 500 easy if your giving them away i

credit crunch on lad was out last nite with mates .22 strange nite was calling a fox in but at last min he turned so thought well leave it give a quick flash around . about 20 yards sitting on its arse was a vixen bang he missed it ran 2 about 60 and turned missed it again couldnt believe it he usually dosent miss much. At other side off same field stopped seen eyes about 300 yards away started to call . fox never stopped untill it was 40 yards away had 2 shout 2 stop it bang 1 dead vixen seen another 2 but wernt moving about 130 yards (if only i had the .204lol)

a bit too expensive for me lad

Amen to that. Hence my concern about downrange killing power. Will you be reloading? I know there's not much choice of factory ammunition, but at those ranges the Remington 32gr V-Max should be a one shot drop. Ric got a mate who reloads his 303 he says if i get him all the gear he,ll reload for me is there much off a saving and do u still get the same accuracy
-
thanks for all ur replys the furthest ill be shooting is about 200-250 then i meet a hill but u never know. the last thing i want 2 do is injure a fox clean kill or nothing. last thing we need running about is a gangreen fox for some body to see
