foxshot Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Had a call from a local farmer the other day,one of his friends who he supplied some chickens to had an unwelcome visitor,namely a fox and lost most of his fowl,so after a visit and a bit of a scout about to an area close by where the fox may have ventured from i decided to lay and wait for the possibility of the fox showing up.i arrived a couple of hours before dark and found a good area that had some good cover for holding a fox done some rangeing of the area and waited,must have been an hour and a half when a fox came out of some thick cover and headed out this is when the old heart started to get a bit excited,it took a p**s and had a bit of a sniff about all the time i was following him in the scope i gave a bit of a call to stop him then it was lights out,some may say the shot is a bit far back this is because of the angle it was at when the shot was taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalway Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Quick question on the T4, do you find you're getting any glare back from it? I think I spy a mounting bracket for a lamp on that Nightforce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxshot Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 It is indeed a bracket for the lightforce lamp John and i dont have any glare back at all from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davo Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Nice rifle!! Still waiting to shoot my first fox with my .223, hopefully this week...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 It is indeed a bracket for the lightforce lamp John and i dont have any glare back at all from it A strip of black electrical tape accross the bottom of the barrel end lense will stop the glare, I use a sunshade with a bit on as I get bad glare from a T8. How do you rate the effectiveness of the T4 against a T8? as I will need one for a .20 shortly. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A I have found no distinguishable difference between the two ,i opted to go for the T4 to keep the weight down a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Heard that to be effective alright Al, I don't have a mod as yet, I plan to apply for one later on in the year. New regulations in here now so I'll wait for the dust to settle then see what the process is and who's been through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
