@@predatorprotectionuk Not just yet, but it won't be long now, maybe in another week or so, the colours of the leaves in the fall will soon show on the hillsides and around my place too.
I just got a CZ 457 Varmint as a training tool in .22 lr and am currently thinking about a second barrel for it in the future. I am a bit uncertain wether I want .17 hmr or .22 wmr, it seems like a matter of belief to most. Given the last shot at the fox I tend towards the .17 hmr, definitely looks more then suitable for any small game. Still I'd value your opinion on the matter! Cheers
Hello and good morning to you, Well, my Dad always said this, “If you don’t know the answer then don’t BS” That’s where I am right now with your great question. I’ve got a .17hmr, as you may have seen in previous videos? But as with everything, they are all dependent on certain aspects, range, weather, and the main thing, how good you can shoot? Folks have written to me claiming the .17 home isn’t suitable for Foxes, but an accurate shot in the right place, will certainly stop anything. I think you will have to work out your own options on this one. How far are you reasonably expecting to shoot out to, and what will you be shooting at ? Another thing is, Cost !! Ammo isn’t cheap nowadays and it’s not going to go down in price either. I’m going to do a series of videos with one of my Nieces, and take her as a completely new shooter, using a break barrel air rifle to.22lr, then .17hmr and finally my .243. Targets only for now, so be sure to hit the notification bell, and try not to miss that, I’m sure a lot of folks will enjoy watching her shoot. Good luck with your dilemma, and I’m sorry I didn’t have the magic answer. David
Hello Martin, That’s just brilliant 🤣🤣 I think I’m going to have a Predator Protection Christmas party, and invite all my viewers with a sense of humour. You’re sitting on the top table with Johnny Allen 👍👍 Thanks for watching chum.
Hello Robin, From what I saw that weekend I was out with you and Dwayne, you’re gonna need a lot !! Thanks very much for your reply too, I did say we were going to try to concentrate on taking head shots, but sadly Ollie has not attended the “All Arms Sniper School” so I believe he just got a bit unsure of his capabilities. If only we were born an Expert at everything eh?🤷🏼♂️ Good luck on the Hares, and be sure to aim well ok🫵😉
Morning David good to see you out again I saw my consultant Thursday got the all clear so I am driving now I have now joined my local shooting range but I can only use my Bruno 22 rimfire and my air arms 22 rifle but it doesn't matter I can use my 17hhmr on My permissions I am doing OK I was hoping to go on my first partridge shoot yesterday to do some beating but I decided it would be to much for me so I went to my permission farm I di some target practice with my 22rf anyway good to see you out and about another good video with the 17hmr .

Hello and thanks for watching and writing in. The night mode is very good indeed, but the new Alpex is a step up again . It’s getting the right light combination which can take some time, but once sorted you can really get some good results 👍
You deserve a prize chum 🏆🏆🏆 I was only talking to Andy Taylor on Wednesday here, about that nobody had mentioned the sound effects that I’d spent ages finding and sorting out 🤷🏼♂️ At least I know that one person appreciated it 🫵👍👍😃
@thomas05ish Well yes and no. My left leg is excellent but as expected it’s my right side that’s not good now. On a bad day, it’s almost back on crutches to get about. Hopefully 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 it’ll get sorted out soon 🙏🙏 Can you remember seeing Neil Armstrong walk down the steps??? I was 7 and watched it with a lounge full of American Airman and their families
@ 7:36 only a kid from the 80's would fully understand 🤣🤣
Ah ! It’s detective lieutenant Frank Dreben 😀😀
I love all your films 👍👍
Thanks for watching mine
I enjoy shooting with the 17 HMR too, so this video is especially interesting for me. Not to mention that you're out and about David,.. good on ya!
Hi Reg, thanks very much matey. Are the Maple leaves starting to turn red yet, out there?
The one in our garden has gone a lovely colour now👍

Yay Bionic Chap! Great content and well done Olly!
Hi Jon,
Only half bionic matey, I’ve got a bit longer to wait before I can run and catch a fox, saving ammo 🤣🤣🤣
@@predatorprotectionuk You will get there chap. First fox tonight with that new thermal! #mrtechy

Hi Steve, if you email me chap, with your phone number I’ll speak to you, it’s far easier 👍
That last picture was wild! What brand ammo did that?
Sam uses Winchester ammo in his 17 Remington
