[@calibreman]

As always Mark, an excellent video, well done. Geoff.

[@Griff-Moto]

Bunnies and a buck, result! Fantastic as always. Thanks Mark 👍

[@wayneharris6]

Out of all the S&C TV videos, I only find yours of interest, keep up the good work 👍

[@Andy-ow2cx]

Outstanding shooting Mark, you made those long shots look easy, as always thanks for sharing.

[@regsparkes6507]

Entertaining and educational too,..thank you Mark for the video work you have to do to be able to show us these episodes.

[@nigelgriffiths5732]

Nice session again there mark some cracking footage there all the best

[@stephenbrown5844]

Beautiful shooting mark😊❤👌🇬🇧

[@richardt.4224]

Good morning, Mark I subscribed to your channel for a couple of reasons, I'm a hunter myself, I'm an Ex Pat now in NZ (35yrs) and enjoy seeing the countryside you go through. I had to look up the Bergara 22lr as I wasn't sure if it was suppressed and if the flush sling mounts are on both sides (they are). I run a 16inch Tikka T1X with flush mounts and a two stage Timney trigger with the subsonic CCI HP 40gr on hares and possums. It has the same footprint as my 243win Tikka T3X Aspire, which also has flush mounts (now), but I run the Sako with a set trigger; but both have Arken scopes on them, only because I couldn't afford the Element scopes at the time! I stick a drop chart on both the stocks. All this is with a rangefinder bino's plus a thermal spotter which has a built in LRF in it too. Thank you for sharing and mor fox videos please.

Great video, a lefthanded element optic man wathing from denmark .

[@zohairghullam5131]

Great shooting Mark. Good to see you got the cabin up and running looking very civilised. Must try and organise another date to come out and do a bit more long range.

[@260rips]

Yes mate please do! We’re in the dry now, hope fully start cladding the outside in the next couple of weeks 👍

[@nickwebb9290]

Great shooting Mark, as always 👍

[@joeeverett8390]

Great video Mark, as usual

[@kevinbuckler1085]

Awesome stuff as always Mark 🦌 🐇

[@grahambamford9073]

Hi Mark, yea we definitely need a video on the porta cabin......ahem..... "shooting cabin"..... love to see you fixing it up and what features you put in it for shooting. Bench, gas stove for cup a tea. Etc.....

[@260rips]

Once it’s all done I’ll be sure to give it a run down in a video 😉👍

[@grahambamford9073]

@@260rips good man can't wait.

[@keithhaynes8079]

[@rossforbes8403]

Great video enjoyed that thsnks

[@daleaxe1030]

Thats just amazing 👏

[@sniperkota]

I like this hunting

[@johnkidd797]

Nice shooting Mark, I haven't seen one of your videos in ages. With that in mind I was wondering how the old fella was doing as he was a big part back in the day.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@260rips]

Thanks mate 😉 I do a video each month on here so be sure to subscribe 👍

[@TheAsa1972]

You got a video on range calculations

[@Xenophon120]

What was the mammal carcass in the bait pipe? It looked like some form of marmot, but I didn’t think you have those in Great Britain?

[@ShootingCountryTV]

That would of been a squirrel 👍

[@andrewharris4940]

Mint

[@longyx321]

Have you set up your alpex lrf ballistic calculator on your 22lr ?

[@drholiday903]

I’m trying to learn ballistic v MOA setting. If I take Eley Match 40gr data I get for your first three rabbits - 9MOA @ 110yds, 31.8MOA @ 215yds and 34.1MOA @ 226yds. You seem to calculate 6.5, 25.5 & 27MOA. I’m confused. Admittedly I’m taking the average velocity quote by Eley of 1062.5 (1040-1085) fps and not the max. But why so much difference?

[@260rips]

🤔 I’m zeroed at 50m (about 55 yards) using a velocity of 1121 fps and a bc of 0.1398 and using the element ballistics app, try those figures and see how you get on 👍

[@260rips]

Sometimes you will need to tweak the velocity to match the drops you are actually getting in the field 👍

[@lesscott3491]

how do you rate the element range finders? thinking of getting a titan 3k to use along side my titan 5-25 x56 scope, cheers

[@260rips]

Brilliant, I have both and have not used my kestrel since! 🥴😆

[@lesscott3491]

Many thanks mark

[@eldomouton4615]

What suppressor you running?

[@260rips]

On the 22 it’s a MAE (not sure what model) and on the centrefire that’s also an MAE and that’s a t12 scout 👍

[@MrCocoevo]

How much would that setup cost

[@260rips]

The 22? I think the rifle is about £1200 and the scope about £800

[@MrCocoevo]

@260rips yes the 22 al have to be nice for santa to get me one, 🤣 great shooting with the 22 as always Mark. You should put out a video once a week i always look forward to a notification from KZbin with 260rips on it, best channel on KZbin and best uk shooting video keep up the good work mate..👍💯👌

[@meurigprice8547]

Great video again. Looking to upgrade my air rifle scope any recommendations ?

[@260rips]

Element helix is an awesome scope offering precision and reliability at a good price. If you want to go for something cheaper then the hawke scopes always seem reasonable for the cost 👍

[@meurigprice8547]

@260rips thanks for the reply. Can't wait for next video

[@BjarkeAndersen]

Hey Mark Great video. What cal 22nd rifle are you using. It works very accurately at longer distanc

[@260rips]

Thank you so the 22lr rimfire rifle I was using there on the rabbits is a Bergara b14R 👍

[@Dan_vRS]

It took you 8 shots to hit that shotgun shell but then you’re happy to shoot at rabbits at the same distance where the kill zone for a head shot would be about the same size?

[@260rips]

A shotgun cartridge is probably less than an inch wide and only about the height of a rabbits head, so realistically it’s probably about the third of the size 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@KellyWilliams-k1u]

You shoot rabbits at 250m plus in the head but then shoot a fallow deer in the engine room😂

[@johnhorsfield4361]

It's impressive to see how far your 22LR can shoot accurately, do you use a moderator?

[@260rips]

Yes, it’s on there it’s just a very slimline mae moderator from jms sporting, blends perfectly with the barrel!

[@hectorhtaylor]

Ah, the benefits of laser eye surgery…🤪

[@ВасилийПетров-ш7д]

As always, super! Any weather is good for a real hunter. Do you do group hunts with friends, after which there is a good drink?🤔

[@260rips]

Thank you, I generally hunt alone or with a friend 😉👍
