foxing and rabbiting last night

[jamie g 17]

went out last night on some new permission that a friend of mine got. as he hasnt got rimfire or centrefire at moment he wanted a hand. the farm is around 350 acres but if we do a good job will lead to a total of 2000 acres. the place hasnt been shot with rifles properly since the 40's !

 

saw two big fox earths on the land and last night in total 10 foxes. shot 2 with hmr this years cubs and then clearned up some rabbits. had 10. looking forward to going back there with other foxes and i should have my 22/250 set back up then. my mates 13 year old lad come o and it was nice to see how interested he was in shooting.

 

going to try a day trip soon and pick the foxes off by the earth.

 

 

sorry only got one picture of one fox. as i had left the mobile phone back in the 4x4 on the 1st fox

Sounds like you are in for some good fun if it hasn't been shot in years .... keep the photos coming. Good luck.

hi jack i have had a number of mods for the hmr

 

sak was the cheapest and well it wasnt far off the others in my eyes i didnt like it, not built as well and leaked at the joints when hmr was shot.

 

i had a whisper, best looking of the lot but no better then the sak if im honest on sound report.

 

i got my hands on the new dm80 mod very well built and again better then the sak but i didnt keep it because i like the old dm80 better.

 

thats the one in the picture. its bigger but sits back over the barrel pretty far so is good balance on the annie hmr. its the best sound wise but that because ive had it two years and dont clean it offten.

 

imo the more you clean the mod out the louder it is. as all the crud in the mod dead's the sound. my mate with his sak come over the other day and well there wasnt alot of difference to mine the tone of his when shot was snappy compared to dm80
