    Magwitch, got 5 more than you. , was very quiet and there arent to many left on that paticular job now. Richie, depends on a few things, also got to remember that i have it on my .22 rimmy and the laser is set at around 65-75 yds, most people have this unit on a centrefire and apparently are able to shoot foxes out to 200 yds. With the mag set on 5X on my scope i can clearly make out rabbits not just their eyes to about 90 ish yds. Regards MT.

    Ian and Richie, it is a Starlight Archer, not a bad bit of kit but does take a bit of getting used to and a hell of a lot of setting up in the first place.

    Foxdropper you certainly know how to start your day, bugger two weetabix when you can have two roe does.

    Best thing you can do is put in search for Glenn waters, or snareman, he has put on some very useful stuff on this very subject.

    Better still, learn how to trap them properly, the market is growing rapidly since the demise of the filthy strychnine, gas is nothing like as consistent as traps, there are several of us on here who make a good living doing just this. Good honest money for good honest work.

    Me thinks you had better check that freezer of yours, there must be a huge hole in the bottom of it, the amount of rabbits you have been knocking over the thing should be bursting at the seams.

    Thanks Magwitch, did not think i was ever going to get it sorted, but it is starting to earn for me now, going out with it tonight up near Plymouth on a Caravan park job, Trouble is it is SOOOOOOOOO quiet tonight. :secret:

    Finally managed to download pictures of my NV scope as requested by several people. This handfull of rabitts were taken on a mopping up exercise where I am just finishing a job. Every tom dick and harry has been lamping these rabitts spooked aint the word for it. This is where this gear is going to earn its keep!

    That is the same colour as gorse petals, but i think it looks more like a fungi you have there. The rabbits FPO was talking about earlier were all caught on a very barren coastline where there was very little food so the rabbits were stripping the bark off the prickly gorse, they were obviously doing well on it as they were laying down good amounts of fat, but it was bright yellow through to very orange, i am about to start on those very same rabbits this coming week so it will be interesting to see if they still look the same, have not been to this farm for two years.

    Very good, tell us more, were they against rabbit fencing etc, anymore piccys of the set up etc. Regards MT.

    Cant believe no one has bought this yet, i was very interested but to far away.
  13. mole trapper
    Neither, go for a Steyr pro hunter, stainless and synthetic, i just happen to have one for sale, literally only had fifteen rounds through it, barrel conditioned, bargain.

    Oh FFS,

    Oh to be 17 again, like they say," to be old and wise you must first be young and stupid". Read the feckin post, he said ferrets living wild, secondly there are plenty of feral ferrets living wild in wales, and thirdly sometimes you do get certain litters of out crosses that do seem unwilling to become truly tame, no matter how well fed, handled etc.

    Mine is a basic Ruger with a zeiss 8x56 with a T8, never really measured on paper, other than to zero, it was within an inch at 100 yds, all my shots are taken standing off sticks, best so far was a 210 yrd nut shot, the only problem is the barrel gets hot real quick.

    My favourite foxing round, devastating with 55grn winchester balistic tips.
  19. mole trapper
    You are absolutley right Ferretlove, SO i would suggest you lead by example, so get the piccys up.

    Good post Duckwing, May sound a bit corny, but it would be a nice gesture if the likes of Glenn who give so much to help anyone and everyone could recieve some kind of recognition for their generosity, But the likes of him and a few others on here would not be comfortable with that as they are of the old school, proper gentlemen.

    We used to do it in the harbour for pollack etc, bubble float with a starlight inside, have got an old sketch in a frame as well taken from an old book i think, they are in a boat going around the rocky coastline with a flaming torch (literally) and spearing lobsters and fish.

    M i would much rather look at the ones like yours, but hey, if the modern version P off the incomers bring em on, hell i will have a few dozen in the garden, might keep the soddin moles out.

    Shropshirelad, generally people new to FAC in my experience seriously either over or under estimate ranges but more often than not the former rather than the latter, the 17hmr will humanely dispatch rabbits at 150 yds + providing you are capable of putting every round within a 40 mm circle consistently, the added bonus with this round over the centrefire rounds suggested by our new friend brownbear is the greatly reduced risk of ricochet, plus it is an imminently quieter report than any of the centrefires plus far cheaper ammo, the other major consideration is that if you are new to FAC it is

    MC you should pop down here some time, Cornwall is full of them, there arent many hills that have not got them on, the NEW natives are really pissed about it, they did not sell theyre homes up country and price us locals out just to look at these monstrocaties, and by the way stop those cockerels and church bells waking them up. Sorry mate, could not help myself, been to our local on the moor and the incomers kept buying us drinks to make us be friendly to them so i am feeling a little fractious. Plaid Cymru........, what ever happened to them, Plaid Kernow next ????????. Sorry mate
