groundnester 2 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 evening all. just thought i would share an evenings call out i had from one of my farmers. He had seen a couple of foxes hanging around the farm yard. Unfortunately this particular farm can be quite difficult due to alot of flood lights, livestock and railway line. anyway got down there tonight at 9:35 and got tucked into a dark overhanging blackthorn and farther started calling. nothing but just as we moved off dad spotted one and with a little more coxing out a vixen crawled under the gate and was cleanly shot with the nightvision set up . not a long shot at yards but a result all the same. to cut a few hours of walking short we tried the front field on the off chance . hey presto a lovely dog fox came trotting in. shot stone dead at i guess 90 yards r so. 2 shots 2 foxes and a very happy farmer im sure in the morning when i text him. heres a couple pictures of my set up on the 223 tikka.had a while now and very happy with it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IanB 0 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I had one, sold it on eBay, bust the tube on it the day I was going to post it. Have you tried it with an AS IR led give it a go might improve it, some like the LEDs others don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
