S&C TV | Mark Ripley (260RIPS) 24 | Long-range daytime foxing!

[@derekedgley5074]

This is incredible we actually witnessed a miss! I don’t think I’ve ever seen you miss before

[@260rips]

We all miss - that’s what keeps it challenging! 😉

[@gerryward7]

Brilliant 👍great video as always.

[@micyoquitay6264]

Just getting into shooting and hunting foxes. I can see you are adjusting your elevation and possibly windage on the fly. I understand you gotta know your rifle to fully grasp doing those adjust on the fly. But have you got any tips and pointers for me? I've got a 6.5creedmoor and i am comfortable with the hold overs on this cartridge at about 200yrds but would like to know how to make the adjustments from 100yrd zero out to any range and still hold middle of crosshair as point of aim. I do love you videos and it's rellay helped me with hunting foxes and what to look for etc.. GREAT VIDEO 👍

[@ShootingCountryTV]

Hi mate yes I’m using the element ballistics app or a kestrel ballistic windmeter which gives me the corrections 👍

[@regsparkes6507]

Whenever Mark is out and about, chances are very good that the video that follows will be informative and entertaining too. Thanks to Mr. Ripley for showing us his marksmanship again.

[@ianspicer3885]

Bonkers talent right there,I remember the early days when the doubters thought you’d edited a tonne of shots to get one long range hit,well done to you for what you’ve achieved and where you are now 👌👌

[@jamessmith1965]

Good to see your missed shot , but very good shooting with night vision on a rifle that's not your chosen weapon at that distance , was envious and enjoyed every shot

[@markbutler1616]

Stunning Mark! Unreal shooting👍🦊

[@derekedgley5074]

That was some incredible long range fox shooting using the thermal scope. Excellent video

[@kevinbuckler1085]

OMG,you missed one 😂😂, but you certainly made up for it afterwards. Unbelievable shooting as usual 👍💪

[@eskelorenz1876]

Waidmannsheil!!

[@rogerofrhodri]

Nice stuff, as we all know little un's grow into big 'lamb and ground-nesting birds' killers, so let 'em 'ave it.

[@davidsimpson2685]

It’s nice when us hunter’s who do pests control do more for our wildlife than the anti’s ever would in their lives.

[@delawareteacher1182]

Nice humane kills, the farmer must love you!

[@turquoisecat761]

Pep Guardiola is into shooting.

[@jackdaw3160]

Hi mate great shooting and less advertising. Hint hint. Keep up the good work

[@johnallen8618]

Excellent shooting Mr Ripley, good to see that you are human after all 🤓

[@marcallan1204]

Quality 👌👌👌

[@benfranks3307]

Great footage. Not like you to miss that first shot, shows you are human 😂

[@nickgrosvenor6936]

The one clip looked like a Toyota advert 😂✌️

[@260rips]

😂

[@PiperX1X]

Cracking results and a miss but we all get them from time to time don’t we, especially at that distance, I’ve missed them at much closer distances than that and good to see that even the best shot can have a miss now and again.

[@260rips]

I’ve missed them a lot closer too! 😆

[@richardofoz2167]

Great stuff, Mark. What are you filming with?

[@260rips]

Only a little panasonic 4k camcorder for the most part 👍

[@misterlewgee8874]

Great to see some long range thermal Thank you very much. Did you use strelok at that range?

[@260rips]

I actually just went with a little holdover estimation with the thermal 😉

[@yeahbuddy2935]

Great shooting to watch! Would love to know the barrel length on the 260? Cheers

[@260rips]

24” 👍

[@richk1898]

That’s some very impressive shooting indeed Mark ! Out of interest , what was the 243 zeroed at ?

[@260rips]

200 metres 👍

[@rafesaunders3373]

An you explain the two rifles, the difference and use please? As an FAC air rifle shooter, I want to understand the differences...

[@260rips]

The 243 fires a lighter 6mm bullet and the 260 is shooting a heavier 6.5mm bullet. Performance wise it isn’t vastly different it’s more down to my preference for the 260 for longer range due to it being my usual workhorse!

[@davidwhitworth4577]

What did you do with the fox you shot

[@johnbrukwicki5840]

Hi Mark, i have seen you alter the scope with the app on your phone. Could i ask which one you use, please. Happy Christmas to you and your family

[@ShootingCountryTV]

Hi yes it’s the element ballistics app

[@paulsoutbackgardenaustrali7674]

Hey Mark what's the name of that rifle Tripod...interested in something like that...ps...love my 260rem too..☺🇦🇺🦊🦊

[@260rips]

Hi mate it’s the Rekon ct-1 tripod from Scott Country International 👍

[@whoami5228]

👍

[@martiniv8924]

👌🏻😎

[@paulsoutbackgardenaustrali7674]

No Silencers allowed here downunder 😩😩😒

[@dm55]

What was the objective of shooting fox?

[@260rips]

As I mentioned this is a sheep farm and pheasant shoot, not only do foxes predate song birds but will also take a toll on gamebirds as well as lambs in the spring and piglets from the next door farm, not to mention any farm chickens and geese!

[@Brass-and-Bullets]

Must be a nightmare for mark to go shooting, has to stop walking every 10 meters to put the camera down to get the next shot 😅

[@260rips]

😆

[@OSOK7]

I'm suprised that you would shoot that range with thermal and put the video out for all to see when it's just a white blob ... If there's one thing that's going to kill our shooting it will surely come from a person shooting at something they THINK is a fox with a thermal rifle scope ... You've shocked the hell out of me ... If you can't see what it is you don't pull the trigger !

[@260rips]

Can’t see it? Really? I know the true clarity of the image is as always reduced after it compressed so much on KZbin, but even on my phone watching it back I can still see the tails and ears on most of those foxes 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyone that regularly uses thermal will tell you, the heat signature that is given off to generate the image is only part of identifying the animal. Body shape and movement traits are just as important. In this area the only creatures of this size you will find on the hill will be a badger, fox or hare. The first two cubs are clearly not hares by the way they move and not badgers because they are sat tall on their hind quarters and didn’t have the characteristic humped back of a badger. Badgers are generally brighter and always a lot shorter legged! I was also watching them for some time beforehand to identify them. These foxes were easy to identify partly as I was still using binos as it got darker but also remember you are only watching the actual moment the shot was taken, not the time spent viewing the creature beforehand.
