dogfox Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Well the lads and I went out last night for a look around.It has been a long time since we been out lamping as we have been busy on the deer. Well Sean had chance to try out his new blaser rifle with a 22.250 barrel and it acounted for the first two foxes of the night ( it had a total of 3 for the night). The first shot was a cracker.The fox was facing towards him lying down and he shot it straight in the head I am not a lover of the blaser rifle .But I have to say that it shoots nice tight groups and it seems to like the 52 grain Amax bullets. The old 220 swift account for a good range fox.It was out about 160 yards and then on the way home Twanky had one with 22.250 Tikka. We saw a total of nine foxes and acounted for five which 4 were vixens.The farmers will be happy as they have just starting to lamb.

kip270 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Now that's a good session I'm finding that a lot of the foxes i have shot have hardly any white tips, sure i read somwhere that it's something to do with the breeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfox Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi Steve Yes I love the 220 swift it is a cracking round fast and flat. I have never seen one that does not shoot.I have just had mine rebarreled after I shot out the old barrel. Dogfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
