For episode 13 of our monthly series - Foxing with Mark Ripley (aka 260 RIPS) - on Shooting & Country TV, we have something a bit special for you...
Mark is famed for his long-range shooting skills, and in this episode he manages to take out a fox in daylight at 536 yards - impressive shooting!
We do want to remind viewers that Mark spends a lot of time training on long-range targets, and is super confident in his kit and his ability to cleanly kill at these ranges - this is not trial and error, but rather the culmination of many years of training and experience.
We continue to shadow Mark as the daylight turns to dusk, when another unlucky fox meets its end, before switching from daytime fox shooting to night time foxing with a thermal scope and clearing a few more problem foxes that the farmers have alerted him to. Enjoy watching this episode! We certainly did!

    That ground looks great it’s basically one big back stop, you need to treat yourself to the lecia HDBs they would have halved the time on that fox, I know the kestrel will be more precise on average I love mine but the HDBs are so handy for them situations

    Excellent shooting mate! Can you tell us a bit about your reloads or ammo and how you set up your scope and kestrel for this method of hunting because I'm trying to do this as we speak and don't know if I want to make a dope or buy a balistic calculator ect?

    In the 223 I’m using factory 53 grn Hornady superformance but in the 260 I’m handloading. For the ballistics I’m using a kestrel wind meter with an inbuilt ballistics programme. You can also use a basic phone app such as strelok pro to get your drops 👍

    Mark Keep the chassis on your hilux power washed and stick the nozzle of the washer into the holes on your chassis once every two months so as not to allow the corrosion to eat away at it especially in the Uk where they love road salt! These and the land cruiser are awesome they go forever once you look after the chassis😉👌🏻👍🏼

  • @260rips

    2 жыл бұрын

    On the td50 scope I was using the top turret is actually the digital zoom! I simply held over slightly for the shot. With the rifle zeroed at 200 and shooting downhill it didn’t need much hold over 👍 You can however adjust elevation on a target turret scope if you know how much you need to adjust by counting the audible clicks on the scope 😉
