    We all agree that there are better suited calibres for foxes if the circumstances warrant it, but what do you say to the farmer, who has a fox taking lambs and the only rifle he has imediatley available to him, is a 17hmr? Are you seriously expecting that farmer to do nothing about it? This actually happens to me on a regular basis were oportunist foxes appear, when least expected. One fox I shot last year, had a rear leg almost dangling off, were a mate had almost missed it with a .243, weeks before. My original comment to you was were you plucked the figure of yards from?? I bet

    Waiting for richmcgin (self-professed firearms expert) to describe his assertion that no1 bore is more easily deflected in the hunting field than .22. We'll see if he can put forward a plausible explanation: thread is in hmr on fox in the rimfire, centrefire shotguns area, p6. Yes Tegater, I damned well would lol! Duncan

    Well, your writing style certainly threw me then Agreed though, .17hmr isn't a dedicated foxing calibre, but is more than up to the job given appropriate circumstances and range - yards I think someone mentioned? I'd only go 75 yards (as I said much earlier in the thread), but there you go

    Based on how you write, I'm guessing you're less than 25, possibly 18? Based on your spouting re airgun calibres, its clear that I've been hunting with air rifles longer than you've been on this planet. As for 'blowing', I'll leave that to you I'm starting a new thread on the airgun general discussion area, so you can put your .177 more easily deflected than .22 theory out in full there well ive been hunting with airguns, r/f c/f shotguns a while longer and still say if your out after fox use a c/f as ive said before you can dig a hole with a spoon if needs be but a spade makes lif

    Fair point Paulus For full range foxing, hmr is not the best calibre, cf calibres are the tool of choice. But as Deker (and others) have said, the hmr has its uses in fox control given the right ranges and circumstances.

    I used .22 for about 10 years and then switched to .177 for the next 10. Literally thousands of bunnies in the field have helped me form my opinions regarding both calibres.

    discuss! over to you Richmcgin

    its 'calibre', as most firearms instructors know.

    Hog wash. And I'm thinking 'BS' in this instance. If you can't even talk sense about air rifle calibres, what hope have you with powder burners?
  11. The Duncan
    Definitely! I told Paul its his fault I've got a lurcher

    Hi all, I thought I'd drop a line or 3 about a fun-filled pigeon shooting trip I had with Paulus on sunday. Although I've been out a couple of times before with him, this was the first time I'd been out with him and a new gun for the day - Elmer Fudd. Paulus had responded to EF's request to go out shooting and even magnanimously offered to loan him his trusty 20ga O/U and supply the necessary carts and coach from the side as required. Furthermore, Paulus himself wouldn't be doing any shooting himself, but would be there as picker up too! He used Flash, his working lurcher who really k

    What about dog peddlers, dog thieves, general scum, folk who post retarded illegal stuff, and those who threaten / intimidate people. Oh yes and the thick folk? Well there goes half the membership!

    So do you think that an intro is essential? Possibly make it part of the signing up process. Personally, I don't have much of a problem with people who never post. I have more of a problem with some that do! And I'm not fussed if anyone wants to look at my profile; thats why i filled it in And when you're as good looking, charismatic and modest as I am, you expect that people will want to have a gander

    Will my gat gun do deer ok?

    I must admit that I was surprised how little meat damage there was with the hmr, given what I had been told and had read about them. Certainly no worse than a .22lr, possibly better in some circumstances. So why did they bring out the 20grn bullet? Is it for better penetration? They look like semi-hollow points to me.
  20. The Duncan
    If I didn't have as many guns n rifles as I do, I'd be getting another springer in the cabinet.

  24. The Duncan
    Perhaps some are afraid to post in case they get trolled at by certain delinquents on here ?!
  25. The Duncan
    At last! The answers I was expecting. For a moment there I was worried I'd have to work at it.
