at last i have christened the 243

[weejohn 3]

well after a few blank nights i shot my first foxs since getting my 22-250 changed to a 243. what is strange is i have only ever shot foxs on the estate on monday nights the top fox is a dog shot around 50 yards and the vixen below was shot at 250-300, the bullet went in but there was no exit hole which is a first for me on returning the the pickup i saw another 3 foxs in the fields around the farmers house but as it was 1am , i thought that i better not shoot them incase i woke up the farmer but after speaking to the farmer today those foxs are fair game.

cheers guys i was going to christen it last week on a few bunnies but i didnt want to spoil it.

 

martin , it is a robertson stock, much much better than the t3 synthetic that was on it.

nice one john do you find the .243 better than the .22-250 and is there plent of foxes on roung your side of the woods

i am undecided yet as i havnt used it much but i was dissapointed that the 75gr uccutip didnt exit the fox, i am not used to that as the 22-250 would punch holes in them.
