buck from a highseat

[Guest remmy]

I got up this morning at 5.00 and went and had a sit in a high seat, it was a very nice morning warm with a slight breeze, after about 20 mins a doe walked along a deer path within the wood heading out to a plantation to feed, at six o'clock a nice six pointer walked out onto a clear bit and started to feed, got him lined up and chest shot him @150yds with a 87gvmax he dropped on the spot ,

Doing well mate , how many you on now ?

[mj robson 8]

Well done,

 

Nice view from that seat.

 

As the cover comes up at this time of the year the high seats come into their own.

 

Mark.

as said above, nice view and the extra hight realy helps to see what is going on, im even using stalking sticks for rabbit shooting, works brilliantly

What`s purpose does the green neoprene serve on the T8 remmy? A sweat band perhaps or is it just for the posing aspect ??

[Murph 30]

It's a muffler and stops it ringing if you catch it on a bush Sheamus, thought a pro like yourself would have seen one before, they've been around for a while now. Nice buck but I was more wondering what the white patch is on the scope remmy?

[Guest remmy]

hi murph the white thing on the scope is a printed out drop chart for shooting long distance, dial it in mate.

[Murph 30]

Aha, that makes sense, I noticed the adjustment on the turrets, never gone in for it myself, never pushed it past 370yds either though, how far can you accurately reach with that setup then? Would be interested to know, I do a lot of foxing so haven't got time to dial ranges in but I suppose in daylight it has very good uses.

[Guest remmy]

longest shot so far was a half grown rabbit at 376yds but it shoots good to 500, thats on 4" balloons, the chart only goes to 500, thats using 87g horndy boat tail hollow points.

[Guest Sheamus.]

It`s a muffler comes reply in an attempt to educate a pretender and in the next sentence gives himself right away by asking the significance of a visual drop chart

Never mind Murph

[Murph 30]

Are you using a .243 or lighter then? I have always used .22-250 for foxing but the long shot was on a munty, drop was only around 3 inches at near 400yds. Just changed the rifle for Tikka T3 lite in .243, only taken close shots with it so far but it likes sako gameheads 90gr, would like to try the hornady 58gr but worries about the meat damage on the munties although I think it could do long range better than the old rifle with that load.

[Murph 30]

Feck me it took you a long time to compose that reply sheamus. Excuse me for not being able to read the numbers on the chart.

Is the green barrel/mounts and mod a self done jobby or was it a bought custon job. I've got a black stock with stainless finish on my 223, been thinking about changing it if possible
