visiter1 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Couldn sleep last night with the heat so got up and headed out to a freshly cut field , Sat under a tree and realised i had forgotten all my calls so it was back to the lip squeek , two squeeks later and had a fox coming in v fast at 30 yards had to call at him to stop , just as i had him dropped another fox came down the same path he sat at 80 yards and would come no further , dot between his eyes and bang , dropped on the spot , got to sleep really well after.

gaz6br Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Intrested to here why you think tjhat? gav Well, your NV is good for 200 yards would you say? NV is for getting crafty foxes on bait stations or sitting and calling to get them in for an easy shot. So a 17 should be plenty for putting a fox down with NV. 6br is good for range so why limit that to 150-200 yards Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visiter1 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 fair point lad cant argue with the logic but no messing the drone can see well out to 300 yards and i haven shot the br for about 3 years as i have been dying from a rare lung disease so cant wait to get back shooting it ha ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz6br Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Sorry to hear that. You may well be able to see at 300 yards but the hole point of NV is to get them to a nice easy range to shoot, we set bait stations around 120 yards makes easy pickings to mop the lamp shy ones up If the 17 is working I'd put the day scope on the br and plink with it, shame to upset a rifle that's doing the job Good luck either way Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montey Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I have a 204 and 223 the 204 shoots really flat but its very fussy over which load / bullet you use and ime on my second one my mates both got them and the same there I wouldn't be with out either caliber as my 223 is the rifle that gets used the most now as it loves the 60g black hill stuff and I don't have to reload for it I have a 17hmr and the two calibers get used were the 17hmr starts to drop off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz6br Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 yea your right there do you mind what you use for bait i normally use rabbit? Depends, on the free range chicken farms we do we use chickens of corse because there always plenty in the dead bins. But rabbit works fine, fish is a good one. A lot of the time just sit with the fox pro going that works a treat the free range pig farms ,we sit near the dead bins or young piglets in hope, but there's that many pigs on the farms you can never be to sure if your in the right place 3000 plus pigs to watch over on some places. We always use a metal pole as well knocked in the ground and push the bait on to it like a large BBQ stick so the fox can't run in and grab the bait and go Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 thanks for that honest opinion off the 204 If you had one,you could scarcely justify changing to the other on ballistic grounds,though there might be other reasons(?).cf: 204 32g@ 4225 drop /drift/energy 100y .6/11/ 944 200 0/4/679 300 4/10/512 400 13/19/357 223 40vmax@ 3800 1/1/937 0/5/677 5.5/12/479 18/23/330 10mph wind,commercial loads,so comparable,not hotted up.drop/drift in inches/energy in ft lb.200 zero,makes little difference though. There really isn't much to chose for a fox rifle especially to 400y,a long fox shot! Bullets could be the same/very similar etc..... I doubt any fox could tell the difference,or any objective shooter.Both good choices.And very similar-'flat' is a very relative term at short range.
