A few daytime shots during spring. This is a video showing humane pest control which may include some graphic content and the use of firearms. If this may offend you please do not watch.
Fantastic footage Mark, almost makes a month of lockdown bearable. Still, it has given me a good opportunity to revisit some of your earlier works, and let’s be honest, a month indoors is a very small price to pay, compared to what some others have sacrificed. Stay safe Mark, and once again, thanks for your efforts. 👍
Another great video as usual Mark. Always love the content and attention to detail. Thanks for the rundown of the gear your using, as you say it saves all the questions. Keep up the great work the farmers need your skills to keep their animals safe. Stay safe. 👍
Nice one Mark. Lovely to see those deer wondering about. One of the best things by far about being out it the stuff we get to see. As ever fantastic shooting on the foxes. Keep up the great work. All the very best to you and the family. Stay safe.
Love this video, Mark. Feels like alot of your earlier stuff with even better quality and editing. Made my day. As always, thanks for taking the time to make, edit, and share your adventures!
Thanks for putting this up Mark. It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. As always, interesting, well produced and superb shooting skills. Stay safe Marc
Most enjoyable to see those foxes being taken out of the pastures ,..I found the segment on the kit you use very informative too. Thanks for your work Mark, in producing these videos,..I do look forward to seeing 260RIPS come up on my screen here.
Another good video buddy especially the part where you show us what your using. I use the 43gn eldx also in a 6.5 creedmoor, outstanding bullets. Running mine with reloader 16 and it's a good combo.
Thanks for another superb video Mark. The guide to the kit you use was very good, unfortunately the bit I was most interested in didn't get a mention. What is the bag you use to put rifle and bits in?
😆 I realised I missed that out when I was watching it back! It’s an Aim fieldsports drag bag, this is the short version which with the stock folded just takes the 260
Complaint time , please please please post more vids , i watched all your work and think the channel is great , the best in the uk in fact . and the footage is fantastic , keep up the good work mark , and thanks for posting .
Thank you! I’m trying to do a bit more now I have a bit more time to edit etc 👍 I posted a couple more about 2 or 3 weeks back too in case you missed those! Also look out for bits from me on the shooting show too 😉
A guy that i know on the Isle of Skye. Not an incomer but an armed native. Got one red raider last week. Down the north end of the Island. Good to know their numbers are being kept in check. Despite Covid19.
Hi Mark, A very good video. I just wonder why you use the Accolade, but then night vision on your rifle. No doubt you have a good reason. All the best.
Hi mate it’s really down to positive identification of the target and I prefer to be able to clearly see the fox rather than shooting white teddy bears! 😆
As a five year old, i saw the damage a fox can do to a lamb.It was then i decided i would get a gun when i was old enough. To stop this happening. I have never forgotten that scene. On the farm where my mother was born above Loch Ness. I am now 57. The fox numbers must be controlled. They will not be exterminated.
The crack off that 260 across the valley is beautiful! Nice set up mate and an awesome video. Stupid question coming up... what happens to the dead foxes? More videos please, stay safe!! 👍
Well tidy shooting nice kit too iv just subbed. More on your 10/22 please which iv seen previously ie use, ammo, accuracy distance etc. Stay healthy please all the best. Tony
Thanks mate and thanks for the sub! I’ve not got a 10-22 I use a cz 452 however I have just brought a Smith & Wesson 15-22 so look out for some video fun with that little baby 😁
@@260rips Cheers Mark I don't know why I thought you had 10/22 just your opinion iv got a choice of rimfire on farm I'm shooting rabbits, hares, crows, magpies, Rooks. I like bolt actions cz and anscutz are they going to be better accuracy than 10/22?,75 yard probably average range.
Hi Mark love the vids. I was watching the one above and the fox that is sitting and shot about 4.42 mins in. If you look at the dark area just behind and at top of frame, just after the fox is shot im sure another one comes for a look.
Hi Mark, I brought two Remmington 700 one for myself and one for one my beat keeper 23 years ago its been a great tool, the one problem we both have had with them is the extractor not working as well as the Sako,s we use. It looks like you dont have a Remmington extractor system on that custom rifle, am i right. Great watching.
Blimey depending on conditions and scope used that laser goes out miles! With the wraith I’m using I can Id stuff at probably 500 yards but laser will go easy twice that I reckon
i considering picking up a .204 in the hopefully not too distant future. mainly for small game and pest control. any thoughts on that calibre? i was deciding between it and the .22-250
@@260rips thanks for the input. I'm not too keen on the .223. The 204 and 250 have better ballistics, but my issue with the 250 is it's not as good at the 204 past 300 yards or so I've read in my research
Bugger will need to wait till 3pm when I finish work before I can watch this as the snowflakes at my work would shit a canoe if they saw me watching one of your vids. No doubt super quality as usual.
Great vid and now unfortunately I know where he "gets those wonderful toys" so lottery win required or bank robbery either way this lock down and your vids has made me want to spend!
@@260rips Another great Video Mark!!!! Have you ever tried the Berger VLD's or even the Target bullets since the game you hunt is somewhat small? Nothing wrong with the ELD's either.
Another great video Mark, always look forward to your films, my favourite long range varminter on UA-cam. Thanks for the rig rundown. I'm guessing with your skills you must be ex-military?
@@260rips That makes it all the more impressive! Charlie snatched one of my free range Legbars in plain sight of my kitchen window at 2pm last weekend. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I also have an s410, you’d be surprised what it will do! Have a look at my foxing and farm yard pest control to see the s410 in action 👍 ua-cam.com/video/L5b0yqBh48E/v-deo.html
No I had a mate that tried the match version but he felt they penciled straight through? I will probably stick with the eld-x as I have a load sorted with them and they seem to expand ok 👍
Do you have any video on how to adjust for shooting at angles. And how do you calculate distance? I have a laser range finder but that is only good upto 200m.
There’s a good array of rangefinders now which will reach out to over 1000 yards with good accuracy. Shooting up and down steep angles is quite tricky at range and would make an interesting video, something for the future! 👍
@@260rips I mean I dont even shoot that far but I use a 17hmr and usually try to get my clicks in right to the best of my calculations and still end up missing on squirrels at 60-70 yards. I dont have much problem when the angle isnt that steep.
Hey ill hunt all day long... But what is with the rings are thay any some kind of new kind of stuff that came out of someone locker that is blacker in than jims ones Rings are rings... Tell me if im wrong....
It’s the aim sports drag bag, this is the shorter one which just fits the rifle with the stock folded back 👍 Sorry forgot to mention it on the gear rundown 🤦🏻♂️
If you are looking for a good powder for when your H4350 is gone give a look at Alliant ReLoder 16 and see if you can get it over there. I use it in my 6.5 Creedmoor and have been very happy with the results.

Great video Mark! I currently use the 143 eld-x as well with H4350, imo one of the better combos....great accuracy with deadly results.
Bloody excellent as usual.

Hi Mark, just a quick question for, what range do you get from the PBIR laser illustrater, great videos, been watching just over a year now

What load you using mark and what twistis your barrel
Should i say what powder are you going to change to
Currently on h4350 so when that’s gone possibly n160, reloader 19 or the new 155 will have to experiment!
might you be using a 260 in this video?
Yes I use it for almost all daytime foxing
