The Shooting Show - foxing with long range pro Mark Ripley

www.theshootingshow.tv
Mark Ripley has long been producing his own long-range fox shooting videos under the handle 260rips. Now he brings his foxing expertise to The Shooting Show, getting his Browning X-Bolt on zero for a 300-yard shot before taking it out to the field, paired with a Swarovski X5i scope, to see what he can find...

Mark is a top bloke that knows his stuff. Watch his own vids on KZbin and you will see why he is a true legend.

Great to see Mark joining the Shooting Show. I was amused by the big smile on his face after getting 2 foxes. You could see the relief that he did well all over his face. Well done, hope to see a lot more of Mark on the Shooting Show, maybe they will send him down here to Australia where his long range skills would really shine.

[@johncatman8424]

I really enjoy the way way Mark goes about his craft. He has the right gear, knows how to use it and never stands out, makes a noise and everything is measured and patient. This is stalking and shooting at its best.

[@davidhardie1960]

Excellent video. My shooting would not be where it is today without Mark!

[@Wildlife102]

He's one of the foxing legends love watching is vids another great vid

[@ewanburnett]

Another good informative show well done keep em coming

[@ausfox1964]

Twelve minutes !?! Outstanding effort peter !

[@jobond7777]

Just ordered the X5i 25x 1/4". Great demo! Mine is going on a custom Nosler M48 chambered in 28 Nosler. I own several Z6i scopes. The clarity is always top notch. I'll have to compare it to my M8 Leupold at 1000 yards. Of course the M8 is a true tactical scope. HEAVY and 34mm vs X5i at 30mm.

[@joannehahaha]

[@gallopingg1]

mark, brilliant shooting, mick from surret

[@aaronvpickard]

great video :) @260rips must be easier not having to film and shoot at the same time!

[@motomeadyhuntingndmotocros6147]

Nice bit of fox shooting

[@farring14]

I'm not doubting ability but an honest question, you show your zero (group) at 300 yards high right from centre on what I am assuming is an 6-8" metal target the group is outside of a 4" kill zone and you were happy did you re zero back to centre? All the best and carry on the good work

[@260rips]

Hi mark the group shot was using a ballistic app to give a suggested correction for a 300 yard target from its zeroed range of 100 yards. The steel disc was 6" and the group fell around 1.5-2" high of centre and the slight right shift was simply a little more wind drift than accounted for so I was happy to shoot to 300 yards with this set up once we had adjusted the settings on the app ;-) thanks for watching, mark

[@sandrobraun2245]

nice shoot

[@adsav18]

Good to see 260 rips testing for shooting show did not really show his skill too much but watch his rabbit at 1001yards top vids on his own channel

[@ryanforrest3713]

Mark what call donu use on the fox pro please ?

[@kennelldup]

These shows are getting very short!

[@user-ks9jy2jk8r]

Молодец. Красиво стреляет и видео хорошие. Ни чего лишнего

[@TOECUTTER876]

hi Mark, great shooting ,but why the 243 ? just curious

[@260rips]

Cheers mate, the 243 and scope is a rifle on test for the shooting show on loan from the sponsers so the 260 is having a little r&r lol The x-bolt and x5i seem to be good bits of kit 😉

[@dmorris199212]

marks own videos are alot better !

[@260rips]

Cheers mate thanks for watching ;-)

[@connorellio8831]

Nice kills

[@MrSantacruzz]

[@bavariasuhl]

[@joannehahaha]

+bavariasuhl omg !!!!

[@hidri86]

Can't wait for tomorrow big big day lol

[@martindyson3556]

Was that the varmint model or the standard stalker

[@260rips]

That was the standard x-bolt sporter model in 243 mate

[@martindyson3556]

What was your group at 300 yards with it.

[@260rips]

I got about an inch and a half group with it with factory ammo but to be honest I wasn't trying to get a tight group with it I just wanted to make sure I hit the target while I was being filmed!

[@martindyson3556]

That's not bad though looking, forward to seeing more from you keep it going

[@misharimeshal2217]

😊

[@ewanburnett]

Got to worry about all this meddling with licence reforms are they making it harder to get one. What about a longer licence span maybe about 10 years instead of 5.

[@bakerboy9942]

Duck season !!!!!

[@guttasnipe9171]

Good shooting,I enjoy watching all your videos but please tell me why don't you ever wear hearing protection I'm in my 50s and my hearing is terrible from all the shooting I have done I think I have lost around 30-40% from shooting.

[@260rips]

The moderators I'm using are MAE moderators which conform to the noise at work regulations so are below the level that is considered to damage your hearing ;-) thanks for watching

[@MrMayhemVI]

I watch every week, I hit LIKE every week, I did so this week. But no hearing protection and no eye protection is a problem for me. It's the way I was taught. Whether or not your correspondents use them off-camera, you should remember that a wide range of ages and experience watch this show. I think you should go the extra mile to set a good example.

[@M4Strider]

There's a moderator on the gun

[@MrMayhemVI]

+M4Strider I'm not in a position to know too much about moderators, so I won't act like I do. But pitch and frequency can affect hearing even when decibels do not. Either way, I stand by my comment about setting an example for others. There's too many instances of no hearing protection and even more of no eye protection. For a show aimed at promoting the shooting sports, these are not only relevant areas, but it's not like the companies that manufacture them wouldn't like the exposure.

[@260rips]

The moderator we were using was a MAE scout t12 which conform to the noise at work regulations so in other words are classed as not being harmful to your hearing, as far as wearing protective glasses, right or wrong, its not something that ever seems to be deemed necessary here in the uk except sometimes for better target acquisition in clay shooting or pistol shooting abroad. Thanks for watching

[@joannehahaha]

???? sorry ???? pmsl x

[@astrazenica7783]

Just reminds me how unbelievable it was that Labour jokers banned traditional fox hunting

[@joannehahaha]
