    last night i shot 3 foxs with my cz445.17, never before used it on a fox because always brought the 223 but no bullets, have to get an sd card for my camera show a few pics, they where from 80 to 150 yards, not bad for a wee bullet.

    NOT TRUE... I have always said its well up to shooting foxes at sensible ranges and that if i got more into foxing id upgrade to a 223, Which has happened so im upgrading. i dont shoot many rabbits anymore and the ones id shoot are with the shotgun since i got that. Where i shoot gives the chance for nice long range shooting too so a 223 makes sense for me now. After having and shooting foxes with the hmr iwouldnt slate it, in the right hands its all that is needed and that has been proved time and time again by me and others and i think mr beretta391 proved it 3 times last night.

    Dont try put words in my mouth

    Now i can't agree with that and haven't heard anyone else complain either. Never had any trouble with the licenses and usually only a week turn around for the super to approve applications.

    the 20gr, they hit alot harder and dont just explode if you hit bone, they will pass through the shoulder and do the damage inside. shot one in the head with them and it went through

    Carley himself told me.;) He said one of his customers a competition clay target shooter was not been granted a substitution for an o/u shotgun for an o/u shotgun.:eek: Ask the man yourself if you dont believe me.;)

    Just surprised I got my licences back in the usual time with no bother. Got a new licence for a shotgun in three days. Dont worry you don't have to prove anything to me!;):D
