FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I was out on thursday evening and missed a fox crossing a ploughed field,I was totally pissed off and disheartened with the new rifle. Friday evening I went back to same spot to zero the rifle,bullets seemed to be going all over I couldnt understand what was going on,I could only presume a bad batch of factory ammo. I finally got it sorted hitting a 10p piece at 100yds. So i went for a stroll,on looking over a steep banking I spotted a fox lying at the base of a tree about 5 yds away facing in the opposite direction.I quickly adjusted my scope to the minimum settings and shot him where he lay,unlucky sod!!!! Then I carried on and just as the light was fading a nice old buck stepped out in front of me which I dispatched with a neck shot. Fate played a part in this as if I hadnt missed that fox the previous evening I wouldnt have had such a good evening yesterday Im now off to Scotland to see what I can find! Quote Link to post
