@@RJMHuntingAustralia Seeing this vid 17hmr on fox being so efecktiv irritates me that it's ilegal too hunt fox in sweden with 17hmr you need atleast 22wmr, witch is lacking in accuresy apoleges for horible speling

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

That's ok mate. Generally 17hmr isn't the best fox round. Shot placement is very critical a nd still get more runners than I would like. My preference is .204 or .223

[@dennisberry9793]

Nice shooting there mate all the best have a great weekend.

Nice shooting fellas. Always good to see foxes earn their angel wings. The 17 HMR is a great round in my experience.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Yeah. 17hmr is awesome. Instant death with good shot placement 👌

[@danstevens2204]

Spot on 👍 I get a laugh when people say .17hmr isn’t suitable for foxes!

Hi guys! Thanks for the review.. Sorry if this question is a bit late to the party, but I can't find the answer to this pretty much anywhere; does the eye piece on the Panther unscrew like that of the Cheetah please? Are the two screw mounts interchangeable? Thank you!

Never tried to unscrew it mate . Might be worth asking that question on one of their Facebook pages

[@michaelcauser474]

Great work Rodney. Please pardon my ignorance, but is there anything that can be done with a dead fox except hanging it's tail on the antenna of the old FJ? I did have one dog some 45+ years ago which loved to catch a fox and eat part of it. The others did not want to try it.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Absolutely nothing mate. The fur is worth bugger all. Some states pay a bounty and you have to scalp each one for proof. No bounty in NSW

[@michaelcauser474]

@@RJMHuntingAustralia Dammit, foxes and other ferals are a blight on Australian wildlife and domestic stock. There should be some sort of reward for people actively trying to reduce, and if possible eliminate these mongrels. I unconditionally support the efforts of people like yourself and Nathan.

Fantastic bag and some great shooting, good work as usual. Good to see you keeping the misses in the footage too - authentic - happens to us all.

Hi there RJM Hunting could you please tell me what is the max range you would take a shot with this scope with its optics

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Depends which calibre it's on. Scope is capable out to 300+ metres. Have shot foxes out to 330m with it on my 223. I try and limit shots to sub 150m when it is on my 17hmr.

Great stuff, what range are you smacking them with the 17hmr? That thermal footage is awesome 👌

Try to nail em under 100m where possible. Have shot several between 140m and 170m though. I'm going to start running the 20gr ammo as soon as I can get some for the foxes. That extra 20% in weight should be very beneficial in dropping them.
