Redfox Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 this vixen was intent on having bombay duck ( well indian runner duck actually) for supper, got a bad case of indigestion from a 17 sized pill. Went down without a flicker of movement at 230yds, yes the leica 1200 works just as well at night havent seen many about for a week or two.

Redfox Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 The 25 hp and vmax s dave I found they were better than the 20gr versions in my rifle. Redfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxshot Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Have you used te rangefinder much at night and is target quality for the laser as good as daylight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Don't wish to hijack but just to answer Foxshot. The laser works better to some extent in the dark because of the contrast. A much more difficult test is strong sunlight. I have the Leica and this is good with having the lit reticle, a friend has a yukon something or other and that is naff due to a black unlit reticle on a dark target. Couple that with the inferior glass and it makes a very dark picture anyway. The Leica was twice the price of the Yukon though like with any glass, cry once comes to mind. Obviously If you can't get a fix i.e. not using a lamp on the target to initially find the fox etc, none of them are any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varminter.223 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Nice Shot! They dont like those 17's up em! 20 or 25 grainers at that distance dumps them big time.Are you using a 17 remy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
