Hi Guys, Im thining of getting a new dedicated fox rifle with night vision, Im fancying a .223 but not sure which bread to go for, I fancy a Varmint style with pistol grip or something along those lines, what do people suggest? Thanks Guys

HI Mike, I shot with a 204 on sat night, I agree great round but what they like for getting hold of amunition?

most nv kits tend to be on the heavy side. so i would look at buying a lighter sporter style rifle. 223 tikka m595 or tikka lite with 40 grain rounds would be very good

Thanks Jamie, Ive already got a Tikka M595 in .243 that ive had for a good few years now, just facny something a bit different! the NV im planning on getting is the Starlight bolt on (http://www.starlightnv.co.uk/night-monoculars/archer-night-vision-monoc.shtml) I used on last sat and was really impressed

sorry pal been busy with the new toy .17 fireball ( also good) i have had no problem at all getting ammo.i tend to be proactive it takes about seven days to get anything you need from midway,if your local dealer is cool you wont have a problem. i love the small varmint rounds . i had to slow mine down to 3620 fps to get .25 groups but i would rather have accuracy over speed.that said i am not the most exrerienced home loader i am sure there are guys getting fast and accurate.check out .204 ruger forum . if you are thinking about one feel free to pm any questions.
