Vaminting is a lot of fun and is a more than practical pastime. The farmers love us. My brother and I shoot foxes mostly but as we knock over the fox population the rabbits pick up. So we get into them as well.

I have done the same to my 303. I got the gunsmith to cut off the stepdown part at the muzzle and recrown it. He also tore off the safety and re built it much lighter. I am yet to put a good scope on it but the 135 grain sierras work real well. Its much lighter to cart around and looks much more app...

I loaded 50 gr nosler BTs with 26gr BM2 to start with and they are dynamite on varmints. I shoot mostly foxes. But when we shot 130 foxes out of the one area over the last...

I have a Ruger Timber/Blued. The scope is a VX1 4-12x40 which I use at 6X most of the time out to 150 metres. I have only use the Hornady VMAX pills. I have shot rabbits and foxes with it. I don't really like it as it doesn't kill as emphatically as the Tikka 223. Pill size obviously has a lot to do...
