    nobody that shoots foxes can say that an anti who loves foxes and goes out tree hugging with their binoculars spying on badgers and foxes thinking how lovely they are, will seriously accept images like that? because i think they'd go dispair, it might not matter now, but the way the world is going it wouldnt suprise me if the sport starts going downhill.

    wel said mate i think there is a difference between seeing foxes shot and foxes blown in bits. personally i have nothing against shooting foxes as i do it myself, all i am saying is that when antis see such photos it doesnt look very good for serious shooters?
  3. timwest
    im not referring to you, just stating it because when people post such photos with guts hanging out, when antis see these images they think its seriously cruel
  4. timwest
    yeah but you dont exactly need to post photos of it online, its not just one person there are a few haha, even saw a shotgun shell in one

    never heard of them lol, i have a reflex t8 on my .222 and its great. i wouldn't have any other

    for the bunnie's ,but an hornet for the fox!!!!!!!!! what make is your .22? so when you go out lamping do you take both your rifles with you?

    I really do not understand why people think they're big men posting pictures of foxes they've shot with their guts hanging out? what's it all about? then to add insult to injury they go and put a spent case in its mouth? where has all the respect for the animal gone?

    great stuff, you using .22lr?
  9. timwest
    lol i have the .22lr for that, well i heard that the tikka t3 is lighter and more durable with synthetic stock, i thought of a larger calibre for hitting those more distant foxes, and may also be able to shoot the odd deer if being a 243? It's up to you and gets personal of course. This will take any fox at 200 yards or more with the right ammo. How distant were you thinking of? Tikka T3 Lite more durable :hmm: I wouldn't put money on that! If deer are coming into the equation then a deer legal rifle obviously makes sense, and a .243 can be an awsome fox tool, but it's still a lot mor

    well i find it more simple during the day as you dont get lampshy foxes, or you dont have the lamp waving around, it just seems that the fox is more wary in the dark? and ive only just started lamping, its probably just me lol. i like the .222 and would more than happily take a shot at a fox at 2-300 yards in still conditions, but thats just it. only in 'still' i never shoot at that range in windy conditions as the bullet is only light, this is where i think a .243 would come in, with the heavier bullet? what do you think?
  11. timwest
    yeah its conditioned for foxes and vermin on my certificate, well done for leaving it, if you arent sure dont shoot haha, ive been shooting foxes a long time and have seen a lot of people miss the vitals at that range with a .22lr and its not pretty, im new to lamping at night and i want the right kit.

    can anyone/everyone give me their opinions on this rifle as regards to foxing? its a remington model 700 .222. schmidt & bender 8x56 with a t8 moderator? is it any good, im wondering wether or not to keep it or sell and get something a little better, maybe a tikka t3? or apply for a bigger calibre! please help?! thanks

    shooting a fox is the most humane method of controlling them, its an instant kill (providing you can shoot and know your rifle and its limitations) using dogs and traps is causing them to suffer!
  15. timwest
    just give someone you know money to buy one. they put it on their certificate then give it you as a gift. for your referee you need someone of a profession. civil servant. i dont think doctors do them anymore as they dont know you fully. some teachers might. best thing is if you have a family friend who is a nurse or tax worker? good luck anyway

    i have a t8 on my .222 its awesome.

    i use Hornady Superformance Varmint 50gr V-Max Ballistic Tips. they are excellent on foxes. very fast round for a .222

    looking for advise please? I was out lamping the other night and was driving along a wall edge, over the wall is a 100 acre rough field full of long grass and rushes. when i scanned the lamp i picked up some eyes about 300 yards away. so i turned the landrover and lamp off and began calling. within 5 minutes the fox was withing 100 yards, however it was layed behind a rushbob. so i couldnt shoot as the bullet would of expanded when they hit the rushes. so i turned the lamp off and tryed to call it in a little further but it wouldnt come. no matter what i tryed to do it just wouldnt move. i was
