Out again today. Felt really shit, but couldn`t not go, so dragged my sorry arse out into the hills.

 

After stalking a bit woodland, I headed up towards a highseat. As I rounded the corner, a buck and 2 does were out grazing 40 mtrs away. The buck was in the way, and while waiting for him to move,, he spooked !

 

They moved further down the feild, but this allowed me to creep into the highseat, got in, waited and sure enough, back they came. Because of a bit of pruning needing done, I had a window to shoot when the beast was at around 90 mtr, so dropped it. Watched for a while thinking I might get the second best,, and the buck lay down next to the dead beast. The follower did this as well, so I eventually got off the seat and spooked them off. Dealt with the beast and back to the car, all the while coughing up a lung and dying on my feet,,

 

Wrapped up with a hot drink now, feeling knacked. Never got a pic as I was to ill to remember, but my stalking buddy dropped a doe the was around 48lb clean,, big bugger like.

 

Anyway,, off to feel sorry for myself with a drink. Still the best way to spend an afternoon though, and the .222 keeps on impressing.

Thats a crackin looking .222 rake. Not like mine! I could stick a bayonet on the end of mine and go over the top!

Well done....nice result for dying of the cold!

Hahaha,, aye, what summers that then eh ??

 

The rifle is a Tika M595 stainless, with optilocks it cost me 470, from Dicksons in Edinburgh !! :blink: good deal methinks,

 

I had an old BSA CF2 .222 restored, and they wanted it, so upped the ante till I couldn`t say no, Glad I did. The 595 is the best rifle I`ve shot,, far better than the T3 I bought brand new,.
