Over 50 birds shot in an afternoons shoot between 3 guns, 45 birds picked, the rest went into the neighboring standing crop. The phone calls are coming in thick and fast back out tomorrow hopefully the longer day will get us the 100.

cubbyleader

shot 34 pigeons today on the same field we shot 24 on friday only about 15 in the picture we picked a few more after that but couldnt get everything cause we wrere in standing wheat and diddnt want to do to much damage, pippa picked most of them and stayed steady in the hide for the full 6 hours which im delighted with for a pup only about 10 months old, she had trouble on a couple of retrieves i think its was because the wheat was so thick and i dont think the heat helped

I was up at the range today testing out the new stock and rezeroing the scope. I had 40gr V-max, 55gr V-max and 55gr American Eagle FMJ to test out. Having never shot the 40gr V-max before so I was very interested to see how they preform. the 40 and 55gr were both the same at 100 yards with no change in POI but at 200 yards the 40gr really started to show and also seemed to buck the wind better which surprised me but as I had no flags the wind could have dropped slightly.

Being so impressed with the 40gr I decided to head out at half 8 to see if there was anything moving.

After heading out to an area which usually has something to have a shot at I set off. After walking for 500 yards a head pops up from the long grass no more than 20 yards from me. Of course I had the scope caps closed so was sure by the time I get them open and get the rifle to my shoulder the fox will have legged it but he stayed sitting and got a 40gr v-max to the head and went straight down.

Young dog fox.



Delighted with myself I kept going travelling through bog land, grassy fields and heading towards a field that was cut a day or two ago I saw nothing but had planned to check the whole cut field as you can't see it all from one end and once I had that done I was going to get half way and go prone to start calling but while coming back up the filed I seen a fox making his way along the ditch moving away from me so I walked up 100 yards and set up on a raised patch of the field and waited for the fox to turn more broadside. Once he did I sent another 40gr and hit him in the shoulder and he went straight down. Paced it out to 190 yards and another nice dog fox.



I'm delighted with how the rifle is preforming and after leaving the sling at home to really get an idea of how much the rifle actually weighs and I would be easily able to carry it for the day.

Cass

Nice shooting.

Having seen the gun on the range it's easy to see how it'd be an easy carry. It's also easy to see how good it is to hit. One hole, and i mean one hole at 200 yards with three shots. Impressive with the wind, ammo, and 8 power fixed scope (something i'd not be used to).

DMW22

For someone that's not used to a fixed 8x you did pretty damn well with it you sneaky git :eek::D

The 8x isn't great for target work/zeroing but I love it for hunting, just point and shoot.

Been out twice this week after a very busy summer through a few rounds down range to check zero.Spot on apart from the illum not working from a dead battery.204 Blitzking 39 Grain.

Ye I believe they are anyway. According to google maps the distance as the crow flies between the 2 shots are ~430m

Hoping to get out over the weekend to see if I can find a few more

Decided to bring the .308 to a barley field that was cut a day or two ago to see if there were any foxes moving around. When I got close to the field it was full of crows so decided to take a shot. I got set up in the prone position and picked one out and squeezed the trigger and over it went. Paced it out to ~230 yards.
Sat around for an hour afterwards to see if Charlie would turn up but he never did.
