Last night

[Squirrel_Basher 17,100]

Out last night on the rabbits for a change .Same place as last time but this time with a mate and his 17 plus my .223 as there’s always chance of a fox .The night couldn’t of been better for the 17 ,dark , still and mild at 11 degrees .

Into the first field and onto them straight away .Mates a very good shot and had 7 dead within as many minutes ,all head shot .

Hung them on a gate and moved on .Next field where I expected the numbers only had 5 in it and after getting over the gate we were left with 4 which mate cleared up with shots from 70 to a whopping 203 paces all head shot .I think some on here underestimate the 17 s range

Walked back to the first field with the 4 and collected the others on the gate without much stealth have to say but looking round with the thermal I saw a fox sat up the wood edge .We estimated it at 200 m .

.223 on sticks and rolled it over .We paced it at 284 .
