    cheers guys very helpfull stuff! i have a tikka T3 lite and is is lovely to carry, sooooo light and compact wth out being front end heavy. i just dont know if i really want a mod to be honest as im not sure i want such and badly balanced gun. i know it reduces noise but i ony have one permission that is near any houses so noise isnt really a problem to me to be honest! so tell me if i am wrong but there is little point in a mod.....that is unless the muzzle flip is really bad? which it could be due to being such a light gun? i'm 6ft and 17stone so im hoping i can soak up the re

    thanks guys, i have been and bought federal "power schock" soft point 140g just out of interest do any of you guys use your 6.5 with out a moderator...i have ordered one but its not in yet. the farmers want me to crack on with some foxes but wasnt sure if i should wait to zero once i have the moderator. I guess i can just re-zero when the mod arrives in a few weeks!?

    Hi mate haven't read the whole pst so i appoligise if someone else has already answered this. my .22lr has dropped foxes that a re chest shot out to 75 yards. have only done it twice and wouldnt like to make a habit of it...but yes .22lr is MORE than capable of it i dont think that has ever been questioned, the question is are you capable of dropping the bullet where it needs to go as there is little room for error. the long and the short is if you out with the .22lr and charlie pops his head up then you dont want to be shooting it illegaly so request it on all of your fire arms. my

    NEVER clean you barrel with a .22LR unless you are using high velocity ammo! try some different ammo as previously said: winchester or eley or RWS, check your mod is on tight, and if its still not right then get it checked over by a gunsmith / where you nought it from.

    i too have had this exact problem recently! i lamp regulary and as aresult some rabbits are bound to become lamp shy, so i bought red filter....and it has definately made a difference! also i have recently bought a truck and they dont seem as lamp shy when your driving for some reason? a friend of mine swears by red filer when foxing which i would laso rend to agree with. that said i have another friend who has been stalking for over 20 years and foxing for even longer and he doesnt hink that filters make a difference he exact words are: " what colour is the f*cking moon? what

    I am just putting in a variation for 6.5x55 and also looking at a Tikka T3 Lite, I would be interested to know what price you can get them for when shopping about. i paid £620 for mie mate, they come screw cut. not even sportsmanguncentre could get near that price! but i got mine from helston gunsmith in cornwall...bit far for you! Thanks for the info, might give the a bell when my variation comes through. I can get it RFD'd .... I think? yep thats right mate, you need to speak with a guy called "rommel" he's the man! http://www.helstongunsmiths.com/
