Newbie from Somerset

[grimrecruiter]

Hello

I am entering foxing and deer stalking relatively late in life at 58. Recently passed my DSC Level 1 and have some land to shoot over in Somerset. Will be getting into foxing / night vision next year and have joined forum to learn.

Tools: Mauser M03 .308 & Swazi Z6i / ticket for 22 250 (barrel or rifle) Christmas list for Night Vision - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Hello grimrecruiter and welcome along to the forum

Welcome! We don't generally do grim here, just plenty of banter and mocking.

Let us know your rough budget and whether you want to dedicate the .22-250 as a night rifle. You will then receive a multitude of opinions, some of which may even be correct. :
If you are lucky there will be someone local to you who can show you his kit.

Hello to both

I have bust my budget for Deer rifle / sight hence next year for 22 250.

A barrel for the M03 will cost £700 but then I am in to a Mauser OE sight mount.

The foxing will quite frankly be a bit of R & R with my friend who is the land owner.

So I am thinking a Howa / stainless mod and ATN X-Site / double as day sight for foxing.

Thoughts?

Welcome and nice to see someone else in the area. I do a lot of foxing with thermal and nv but only use tubed kit not digital. If you need some advice give me a shout

At the moment we can't give advice on the X sight, as only a couple of US based forum members have seen one and it wasn't the final configuration.

Thank you. It looks like the X-Site has stirred a lot of interest but supplies are obviously going to be spread very thinly. Will look out on here for a review when some lucky person gets their hands on one.
