AUSTRALIAN OUTDOORS / A couple of foxes the n the st...
Last post by branxhunter - December 08, 2023, 03:46:46 PMNice cool sunny morning a few weekends ago so went for a walk and a whistle down in the stones.
Parked myself on a rock on a small ridge overlooking a flat and have a few whistles. A few roos and wallabies bouncing around but nothing seen coming in to the Silva Fox whistle.
Standing up to move to the next spot I spied a spot of orange in the grass out to the right - must have snuck in along the toe of the ridge. A 40gn Varmageddon nailed it, a young vixen.
Mooched along a bit further to the east and took a rest over the top of a stone wall
A few more piercing screams from the Silva Fox. Nothing out it front, but after about a minute I picked up a movement in my far left hand peripheral vision - one bounding down slope through the long grass.
I swung around to get a bead on it and it halted behind a patch of bracken. I could just see enough if it's head so squeezed off the shot. Another young vixen.
Didn't see anything else for the morning but a good way to spend a couple of hours.

THE CAMPFIRE / Branxhunter is back!
Last post by branxhunter - December 08, 2023, 03:15:38 PMHi all, thanks to some work by Paul in the background I'm back on THL - and the new layout looks terrific! Great to see THL is still going! I haven't read back through the posts yet to find out who has driven the changes and kept it going but I suspect Paul has had a big part in it - thanks to all involved.
Now to catch up with what's been happening. I've got a few updates to provid as well.

Parker Hale/BSA Rifles / Re: A new oldie for me !
Last post by codger - December 03, 2023, 11:38:30 AMQuote from: Jamie.270 on December 03, 2023, 08:27:30 AMSo, is this a .308Win?Yes it's a 308.
You don't mention the caliber so I'm just guessing here,...
I'm glad to read it's shooting well. Getting it to shoot as good as it looks could be a tall order
I have just ordered a better scope for it.. SPINA HD 4-16x44 Long Eye Relief Hunting Tactical 1/4MOA Riflescope Airsoft Optical Sight Sniper Shooting Scope Fit .5.56.308etc - AliExpress I have discovered how good adjustable parallax is

Last post by Jamie.270 - December 03, 2023, 08:38:41 AMBTW, There's a fella here that can extol the virtues of 125gr slugs in the .308 cartridge for hours if you give him a little encouragement.
Mebbe he'll chime in here, if he's not busy packing for a trip to Mizzou.
