Zeroing the HMR

[Mr_Logic 5]

Went out yesterday to zero the new HMR, friend came with me and had his first rabbit with it. We carried on wandering round the field, a really flat one with long grass as it's a hay crop.

 

Came across a fox, young one and not quite fully grown I don't think. He saw us as we saw him and scarpered PDQ. I said to my mate that I thought the fox would be long gone.

 

We had seen him at a corner of the field and carried on round, but then saw him again 50 or 60 yards away. I was slow and careful and set up the 223. Shortly after, the 18p Wolf 223 55gr HP did its job wonderfully, the headshot instantly dispatching Charlie.

 

Since I had a camera, daylight and someone to take the picture, here is muggins with the 223 target rifle and foxy-woxy...

 

Carried on mooching about but that was it for us Good afternoon all told though, play with a new rifle and then rabbit and fox - can't complain, and the weather was nice too.

Looks like a canny tool! And well shot.

 

Feck the grass is tall in your area! Yesterday I thought it was going to snow in the evening...brrrrrr

Quite scarily, this is the shorter grass - the other part of this field is much much longer...

...and what about the grass in that field a couple of days back...we nearly got lost in that (and exhausted)......send the picture to Colgate, not seen to many toothpaste adds in the shooting press so it could be a new market for them!!
