Well done Foxy but i would`nt of put that minging Fox in with the Deer..

Sorry lads my offer has now been filled by our Deker

i'm not sure if I should be mildly offended or not? Dane there was nothing malicious or offencive in my post towards you

Just average size foxes to me

Those plastic sticks Drooper were customised as soon as they were out of the box and lasted about half a season. Would of been less without the alterations.. As to damage to a fox you wont beat a train and thats facts not charts either

I can get along with just about anyone Robbo just as long as they don't try to act hard or have no sense of humer. Oh and i cant abear squirming folk that go telling tales via the private message service feverishly stirring up trouble just because there afraid of experience.. Normally us "pro`s" can get on like an house on fire eh Robbo What you recon to my stags then? Fancy swapping one for a couple of cull Does

And uniquely crafted.. Well yes Robbo..

Disagree there mate , I think swaros perform better than Leica at last light .... If they did Foxy then i`d have a pair

I remember fitting the Apel mount bases on my first Sauer. De greasing all the contact points and then giving a light smear with Loctite before screwing the slot headed screws through the bases and into the action. Next day i attempted to put the bolt into the gun only to find that the screws impeded the bolt travel through the action so it all had to come off again. The screws had to be cut down and then filed leaving less than 3mm sitting in the action to hold the bases, rings and scope in place. I spoke to a few Gunsmiths about this and they were happy with the design and even happier wh

To be straight Local those 140g should hit them like a train. But like you i dropped on some cheap 129g SST`s so there being used for everything at the moment. I`v had a couple of Sauer 202 Outbacks one i changed because i initially chose the wrong calibre so months later i brought another spanking new 202 in 6.5 only to realise that there not as robust as people believe. The potential problem i`m led to believe has now been rectified in the new Outback models which now have the integral mounting system unlike the older models which had the mount bases screwed on top of the action. Steel scr

Just imagine if you`d choosen Swarovski Robbo you`d of never spotted that Buck

He sure was an old lump of a Fox Marty and going from his battered appearance it was obvious that he`d been worked by a Terrier. Over several months he was affectionately know as Stumpy due to him having only a short bob of a tail. Probably pulled off by the Terrier? He was easily recognised and was seen on a regular basis in the area. That gun i had at the time was indeed a 243 and killed more stuff than smallpox well nearly. I used 100g for everything through it. Where as the 6.5 i used 85g Sierra HP and vhit N150 for the foxes and believe me that combination has stopped some stuff. I

Just imagine you`v assessed the situation and chosen the best method of approach. So you crawl ont belly over yards to the spot were you had anticipated that would give you an ideal vantage point for a shot. Which in this case was rifle ont rucksack stuffed with fleece jumper taking the shot lying down. Only to find that there`s no fecking chance no matter how much i fluff the bag up to make the muzzle of the gun rise above the Bean shoots to give me a clear shot. A typical beginner`s mistake having to go back the yards ont belly to fetch the sticks only to make my way back still on my b

Dane you`d do better looking for tips off someone who really use`s the 6.5x55 like Brucey Boy suggests I`m surprised Local that the 140g did`nt come up with the splat value you were looking for may i suggest you try the lower weight Varmint heads which have thinner jackets which are designed for quick fragmentation on smaller targets. The 140g are designed for thin skinned game such as Antelope, Mule Deer and Bear (what it say`s on the Federal box Or go the whole hog and choose a designated ultimate fox round in the 243 calibre.

Excellent Fox round local and a good choice for "pro" Deer control
