Toots Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Went out yesterday evening for a wander with the .243 looking for signs of a fox that had taken a few hens on one of my permissions. Wasn't expecting to see it but as I got to where the farmer said he had seen it skulking along the hedgerow there it was, trotting along the hedgerow (87 yards) with it's dinner (young bunny) in its mouth. It didn't look like stopping any time soon so it got a rather loud "oi" in it's direction. This stopped her right enough, seconds before a 90gr nosler BT delivered the good news. Well chuffed , as was the farmer. It's my first fox and first kill for the Remington so all in an excellent evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toots Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 'Tis a bog standard 700 sps .243 with a tweaked trigger, dressed in a Swaro 8x56 in leupold mounts and a DM80 mod. Looking to get a HS or wild dog stock for it when funds permit. Shot was taken from a very convenient dry stone wall top! Would have taken .223 out but I'm between scopes on that one . Bigun, what else can you tell me about myself ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigun Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 varmartin sussed me out there what do you think of the DM80 mod..is it any good ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 what do you think of the DM80 mod..is it any good ?? Compared to my T8 it's lighter, smaller diameter and seems to do a slightly better job of hushing things up a bit. Adds about the same length to the gun when fitted and is apparently very easy to take in bits to clean too, aulthough I've never felt the need (yet).
