  19. I have an AGS 3-9x40 illumiunated, awesome in the lamp excellent and day time. can't fault it mate. i have a mate who spent £200 on his .22LR scope and then used mine...no difference at all! dont forgot to buy a trigger kit for it from rimfire magic....its a different gun with one of them mate! a couple of other points i would also make are that if i was to buy a .22LR i would buy second hand, as its much better value for money. I bought my .22 new and looking back i could have got my stalking rifle so much sooner if i hand bought second hand. If you are planning on getting in to
  20. jesus! bit more of a reaction to this thread than i expected! i suppose it could have been a very small vixen or one of last years cubs...but it was fecking small...like the size of a small jack russel ??? any way as you can probably tell i have only just started fox shooting as before now i have only got .22LR so unless it was a an "opportunistic" fox i haven't done a lot of fox shooting at all. probably only shot 4 or 5 since i got my FAC so there is a good chance it might not have been a cub. clearly i still have a lot to learn about fantastic mr fox! hahaha either way i w

  22. forgot to say i have a cz and urs a work horse of a rifle...make sure you get a triger kit if you do go for the cz.
  23. very sorry to hear that mate, give your self time to grieve, try not to rush in to getting another pup. people need time to let go before they can give another dog the full attention.
