pnse Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 picked up a new scope for the 243 ai a couple of weeks ago,its a zeiss victory diavari 2.5-10x50 with an illuminated 88 ret,this scope is more in line with the style of the rifle than the nightforce that was on it before,so went upto oxford to see if i could christen the new scope,got to the estate about 6pm,after a cupper and a chat to the keeper as to what was about got set up in a highseat for about 7.didn't see much for about an hour when a muntjack buck came out of a wood at about 140 yards away so one through the shoulder and he went down without a twitch.things went abit quiet for about 40 mins when i spotted a fox crossing a field at about 270 yards to my left so took steady aim off the top of the highseat and stopped her evening stroll.about 30 mins later spotted a roe buck chasing a doe to wards me from about 300 yards away they both crossed in front of me but were to far out for a clean shot,but luckily the doe decided to come back through the field with the buck in tow and gave me a chance of a shot at about 220 yards.so not a bad result two deer for the freezer and one less pheasant killer for the keeper to worry about. new camera so take no notice of the date atb paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
