"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Re: Hornet fox gun ??
I think I've had a fox that far out, fairly sure I have but not used the hornet for a long while really. I do remember the 4-shot group (ran out of ammo afterward, v annoying tbh) that I shot with it at that distance - sub half-inch. Was in perfect conditions and when I was testing for drop, and sure the rifle wouldn't do it all day, but very nice all the same, esp with the 9x scope!

I've always said that the Hornet is a very underrated and under used calibre,it will do 'the bizz' on rabbits and foxes out to 200yards,more IF you are sure of your aim. :lol:

Re: Hornet fox gun ??
One of my favourite calibres and has been for years. I have a Lithgow/Slazenger Model 24 and a CZ with set triggers in this calibre. Both are fox deadly out to 200 yrds. It is also a great cast boolit calibre for cheap and accurate shooting. I also use it on indoor 25 yrd ranges loaded with a primer and a .22 air pellet
