    It may also be the fact that you are zeroing the rifle, then cleaning it before shooting again? if so zero it then dont clean it, and then take it out again, its a .223 mate so I would not have thought the recoil was a problem, its almost none existent.

    Spot on SS, a simple and easy to understand answer.

    You will have to wait for him to come on mate, he is very busy, he is a laird so you would be better addressing him as your Laird ship, good luck.

    Correct me if I am wrong mate, but if she is silent hunting, and just a bit noisy at home, can you not live with that? After all she does seem to be a good hunter for you, and she may shut up next year after a moult, dont get me wrong mate if its noisy hunting I could never live with that, but surely a bit at home is not too bad?

    You lucky man, Rake Aboot was asking if anyone in the kings lynn area would be able to help him out with a rabbit, and I think Muntjac problem in the Kings Lynn area, you better speak to him quick, there will be lots of takers for this one bud, I would have helped him out but a bit too far for me to travel, good luck,

    Nikon is much better pal why dont you pop down and have a look through mine, trust me if you go redfield you are buying an inferior scope. Sorry just realised you said you have already bought it, good hunting mate.

    Fair play mate, whatever works for you, to be honest a safe shot for a .17hmr is a safe shot for a .243, or pretty much anything else, no backstop, no shot, I guess if that guy has shot all those foxes with his hmr, he will be very experienced with it, so minimalising the risk of wounding, I wish we had a £10 bounty on foxes here, well actually no I dont because ther would be none left, but you know what I mean

    Be that as it may, I consider a 150 yard shot too far with a .17 hmr, there are far far better tools out there, the venerable .22 hornet being one of them, it may be ok in still conditions but with that tiny bullet that has lost a lot of energy @150 yards, in windy conditions there is just too much chance of wounding, I flattened enough foxes @150-200 yards with a hornet without a single runner (well no more than 10 yards chin on the deck) to know how capable they are, with a hmr I would keep the shots within a hundred yards, but being as I dont have one, and use the .243 for all my foxing, it

    Its absolutely ridiculous, who is to say what is short range compared with long, I consider a 150 yard shot at fox with my .243 a relatively short range shot, but with an hmr I would consider it downright cruel, so who sets the parameters and goalposts? it really is time these stupid conditions were scrapped, they serve no purpose at all, except as far as I can see to help justify some feos position, because he or she is seen to be acting proactively, crazy.

    Hahahahahahahah, what will they come up with next

    Almost illegible nonsense.

    I think what Alsone means, (although I could be wrong) is it is an advantage in so much as you are more likely to be granted a cf if you need to shoot foxes, as pushing people down the rimfire route is not an option in our area, a .22 hornet for instance is a superior calibre with which to shoot foxes, by dint of the fact it produces 3 times the power of an hmr, so the margin for error with a slightly misplaced shot is less, but I fully accept an hmr will work well, so long as it is used at sensible ranges, not by some idiot who thinks he has a .220 swift in his hands.
  15. charlie caller
    Are you seriously saying the wording for your HMR condition on your FAC says CLOSE RANGE FOX? And what distance does your FAC go on to say is close range or is that simply left to you?? I wondered that as well, I wonder if you are required to lazer range find for every shot then incase it oversteps the mark by a foot or two, bloody ludicrous.

    Mate get door knocking, you will meet with more success than asking for shooting, take some pictures of your hawk to show them, you might get somebody to take you out if you ask, but its not farmers weekly, plenty of lads in your boat.
  17. charlie caller
    Never mind the bloody owl get out after my gos hawks
  18. charlie caller
    Get some Vermex mate once a month for 3 days, never an internal parasite in sight
  19. charlie caller
    And they would have to be there in the first place, trespassing on private property, the powerless tossers that they are.
  20. charlie caller
    What a load of crap, if your hmr is conditioned for foxes then shoot them, some people in gunshops spout so much crap it is untrue, recognised fox tool by whom? The bloody RSPCA, if you make sure they are close Ie within 75 yards and you place the bullet in the right place they will drop, a .223 is a much better fox round, agreed but do not listen to such rubbish, some forces like mine for instance will not sanction rimfires for fox control, .22 hornet being the smallest they will allow, forget it mate its boll-cks, and get out shooting
  21. charlie caller
    That's mine as well pal, beers for you too if can trap it
  22. charlie caller
    Ye its mine pal flew all the way from Sheffield lol, give us a shout when you have trapped it pal, and I will buy you a beer or two
  23. charlie caller
    Some rifles will shoot them and some wont, mine will but only to an inch or so, I can half that with Federal factory stuff, and with my Sierra blitz hand loads, well ragged one hole groups interestingly my mates 6.5x55 swede will shoot the privi 156 grain things very accurately, they look ridiculous with the bullet protruding a mile out of the case, but hay ho it shoots them so..........
  24. charlie caller
    I think I have a copy somewhere, if I can find it its yours free gratis mate, IF lol.
  25. charlie caller
    Trap it then, it would be fu-kin deadly if it been living wild for that time mate
