In episode 17 of our series with Mark Ripley (260RIPS) on S&C TV, Mark kicks things off with a play at some steel target shooting with the Mauser M12... offering advice on stretching out your own hunting distance, we look at the importance of achieving a perfect zero if your plan is to take long range shots.
Taking a break from his usual foxing responsibilities, Mark heads to a piece of land where the landowner has a rabbit issue... as we all know, rabbits and horses do not mix, so it's time to thin the numbers out a little. What could be more fun than a spot of rabbiting with a .22lr!?
This month's show is light hearted, full of play, and a little bit different from the usual foxing extravaganza... enjoy!

    Would I do such a thing?! 😁 Unfortunately the farmer here likes to keep the rabbits around for some rimfire sport 👍

    Nice to see a bit of variation and some of the traditional 260 stuff creep back into the vids. Top fella; wrap up warm... it's getting cold out.

    Tie something to the target that will help indicate the wind when you increase distance

    May I put this forward ,a 243 producers a flattervtrajectory with a 58gr bullet in V-max extremely flat shooting out to 240-260 yards , yet quite striking out to 300yards. But load it with an 80gr bullet and it will reach out to 500 yards hence the 243 has a real advantage over a 223 producing a flatter trajectory, because you do not need to estimate range , simply cover your quarry with the scopes Cross hairs then release the shot , plus the 243 ammo can be pushed out to dizzy rangers of 630- 650 yards when fitted with a heavier barrel set-up , would you sure guest that's correct, great video Cheers 🥂

    Yes the 58s are great foxing bullets but are more effected by wind drift so there’s a few trade offs but yes they are a great bullet weight 👍

    I'm getting all excited bout 243 for fox....but...I can shoot 90gn in 270...so hard to rationalise getting a 243 from "necessity". Longer range and less wind drift capability become important when foxing after a while as just elusive foxes remain... Pleasure to watch.. As per usual. Thanks..

    Hi Mark, great video. you mentioned "truing up the drop" can you just explain that a bit? Are you slowing velocity, or how are you doing that?

    When I try and centre my scope after fitting I’m lucky if I get a hit on the board let alone the target at 60 feet.

    Alway enjoy watching your videos. I have a CZ452 American also, find it a bit ammo fussy, and the ammo it likes in hollow point is no longer available, so I’m looking for alternatives. What are you using in yours?

    Top class video mark.you should set up shooting classes, you would make a fortune. How do you find the element helix compared to the nexus you also use.is it worth the gulf of a difference in price as you could nearly get 2 helix scopes for the price of a nexus. Richie from Ireland.

    It’s been around a little while, not as bright as the pbir- x but has a nice dimmer on it and ideal for scopes that don’t need too much ir 👍
