22/250 foxer Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 had my 1st fox with my 22/250 friday night on a cut barley field. i was resting on the bi-pod on a bale and the fox was rangefind 177 yards. factory 55 grain federal softpoint done the job nicely ! i hit the fox down the body more then i would have liked but he died instantly. im pretty pleased with my 1st fox with centrefire and 177 yards is a pretty good start. ive just got a jewell trigger in the post today so im looking forward to getting that fitted this week and hopefully out again this weekend.

22/250 foxer Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 well done there foxer the first of many i hope.the winchester model 70 stelth is a good rifle.i liked the early model 70 the one with the 26"stainless bull barrel they where capable of shooting under half inch with factory ammo. this is a early one mate with 26 inch heavy barrel. the newer stealth has the calson bell stock with parm grips. i got it as i heard off a couple of people they shot well out the box. and with home loads should get some very good groups. i just want skanys zeiss scope of him now for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22/250 foxer Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 see you are on the longrange hunting site then foxer ,congrats again hope its one of many for you thanks again foxshot. yes i go on there mate. nice to see what the guys on the otherside of the pond get upto. most of them are into alot of target work and all this taget talk i cant understand but its nice to chat to them and lean some stuff off them. hopefully it will improve my shooting then. going to get my trigger fitted next week hopefully. then get a better scope like a zeiss. then its on to reloading. ive been told skim bedding would be good for my hs stock but dont no ? what do you think would it improve things that much ? as its a vermin rifle im not after target accuracy but if it makes things more consistant then its worth it i guess ? the rifle will do 1/4 to half inch if i do my part so im not asking for much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxshot Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I would say by the sounds of things once you get a quality scope and start reloading and work a load up that suits your rifle you wont need to do anything more,i know homeloads improved the accuracy on my old remi 700,the best of luck whichever way you go,and keep poping those fox's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
