It was a successful night with the 204 nailing a total of seven foxes. Most shots were around the 120m to 180m mark and all in the head/neck. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the first fox shot - he was in a rock outcrop which looked all too similar – no photo. The second had an injury on his left leg. The third fox was chewing on a piece of lamb. The last fox was the best shot, hillside to hillside - I could only see his reflectors, even with the scope on 14x I couldn't clearly make out the body in the light. I placed the cross-hairs a whisker above the eyes and touched off. I could just see the white of his chest roll over - the shot would have been around 300m! (To be confirmed at a later date)
The beaut thing was I could see all red-misting action and each basil going down through the scope. I am very impressed with the 204 and absolutely love those 39gr BlitzKings!!!!!
