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!

First 15 mins , got myself worked up, thought you were going to shoot some rabbits with the .243 at 500m+

Nice to see a bit of variation and some of the traditional 260 stuff creep back into the vids.

Hi Mark. I’ve followed you and your channel from the early days. I’ve learnt a lot from you. I to think shirt button. This video is one of the most informative for your subscribers. It’s informative. More please. 👍

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.

Nice to see someone else with tin of assorted Allen keys, ha ha.

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".
