Watch: Long-range .22LR pigeon and thermal foxing

Time Well Spent August 18, 2023

Mark Ripley kicks off the action in our monthly foxing series with some invaluable advice on how to shoot a .22LR at long range. Mark is an experienced long range shooter and his tips should help you stretch your own set-up out a that little bit further.

After demonstrating on some targets, Mark puts the theory into practice and takes out a super long range pigeon with deadly accuracy. Later in the video, it’s time to get the .243 Mauser out to deal with a fox that has been preying on some game birds. Scanning and shooting from the truck thanks to the awful weather, Mark gets lucky and continues on foot for a night of thermal foxing.
