Guest Stacka Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Went out tonight with the .222 Got out just before last light and made my way across my 800 acre permission. Headed to a tree in the centre and set up, using a bag of dust to judge the direction of the very little breeze. i place my caller exactly 100 yards out and sat up and waited 10mins. and started calling with the "cotton tail distress" on my Icotec gc300 Low and be hold this lovely dog came bounding across the field straight into my arcs and i took him down with one large thud.

Guest Stacka Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'm seeing loads of badgers at the moment. I see a lot if foxes when I go for a run first thing in the morning. So when my scope gets here I'm going to do a few mornings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybrock Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I quite fancy one of these photons. They seem pretty good value for money. I had a photon for a few weeks and didn't get on with it at all, admittedly I was only using it for head shooting rabbits but I found the aiming dot too big and I couldn't get it to focus properly to eliminate some of the glare off the rabbits eye. Obviously some other lads are getting on well with their's for foxing and for £400 it's worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ Varminter Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Mememememememe six weeks....I will have six weeks off for summer holidays education you see.....hahahaha.

Guest Stacka Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Another night out and im starting to really get to grips with the rifle, love the fact iv got the flexibility to change between day scope and night scope and still take 160 yard shots. Another fox fell to the M595, this time i used my lips to make a sucking squeaking noise.....no one has ever taught me it, it kinda came as instinct. He was bloody running straight for me so i had to stop him some how, so i just caughed loud, he stopped and I shot. I paced it out 160 yards. Really happy with this little tikka its so darn accurate.

spanner Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Im very happy with it, cost me next to nothing and its very accurate. And a lot quieter than i expected. 160 yards with a Photon, I couldn't have ID'd a double decker bus at that range with mine. You must have a good one.

Did you use a better ir on it ?? My mate has one it's good for them ranges easy, watch the YouTube clips they have it out to 300 yards. Maybe your eyes Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ Varminter Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I have found you need to set up the eye relief right with the front focus to get crisp images but no buggy once that's done away you go. And gaz, the bresser is insane full moon with IR on I could I'd sheep out to 800+ other night. Awesome. Went out with happy hunter few weeks ago, spotted fox in rest at 400. The watched it for ten. Ins before I squeaked it into a lead pill at 90yrds! Crystal clear. Really pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
