In episode 25 of our monthly foxing series with 260RIPS (Mark Ripley), the action kicks off with some invaluable advice on how to shoot a .22LR at long range. Mark is an experienced long range shooter and his tips should help you stretch your own set-up out a that little bit further. After demonstrating on some targets, Mark puts the theory into practice and takes out a super long range pigeon with deadly accuracy.
Later in the video, it's time to get the .243 Mauser out to deal with a fox that has been preying on some game birds. Scanning and shooting from the truck thanks to the awful weather, Mark gets lucky and continues on foot for a night of thermal foxing.

Me and a friend was plinking with his .22lr burg at 290 on weekend was great fun
Quality of these is out of this world, and Mark is a class act to follow. Thank you for taking the time to male, edit and share.
The InfiRay TH50 V2 really wowed me with its performance, especially at night, in the rain, and with such clarity!
Mark,. --. You are getting better at this task all the time mate¡. 😆😆 Cheers mate good luck and very best wishes. Ian J.🙄🙄🏴🏴
Always a pleasure to watch and listen to Mark in outings like these.
Thanks RIPS.
Stones which have been warmed during the day used to catch me when i first used thermal spotter
Always a pleasure Mark.
Your a lean, mean, Fox killing machine 😃👌🤘👍 great video and awesome shooting.. 👍🤘👌
Great shooting and footage as ever Mark👍👍🦊🦊
Welcome back, sir!
Thank you Mark some great shooting look forward to next video take care mate.
I own an InfiRay Tube and it was the best deal ever 💥💥💥💥
Superb content as ever from Mark. Very enjoyable.
Brilliant video and great shooting skills.
Great shooting as always 👍
Wow great shoting enjoyed that alot
Excellent shots, great gear, well done, mate, bravo! 👏
Brilliant video and great shooting 😍😍😍
Mark you must have a look at the CCI Supressor amo. 45grn and silly accurate in all 4 of my 22lrs.
Cracking shooting as normal, did enjoy the kills with the .22 👍
Thanks for the honest review I'm getting the notos for my 6 yr old boy his first PCP because it's too hard for him to shoot my fx impacts I'm talking about walk and stock small game in the woods so notos it is ....and the price is perfect I watched another video on how you can lower the reg or higher it thanks for sharing be safe buddy 👍
nice shooting as always mate
Top class shooting.
I recently put a match barrel on my 22 and now kicking myself I didn't do this years ago. Don't accept that usual lousy 22lr accuracy, just pay up for something like this and you won't regret it - basically it feels like a real gun rather than a half way house.
You've got to love Element scopes.
Excellent Shot '' Luv it '' 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
A south paw like me. South paws are great shooters
This year there are very few cub have you found the same glen.
Shooting from the driver's seat - See, there ARE advantages of being a leftie 🙂
good video
Most interesting information explained in detail.
Thanks Mark.
I watched a program recently about big cats in Britain, what is the weirdest thing you’ve seen ? Day or night
classic pest control mark
Mark, enjoyed your segment of this video and respect your skills. However, it would be great for the greater body of shooters to have witness marks on scopes and rings so that we could get our equipment set up more easily. Makers of scopes, rings and rifles should be able to make this possible?????? Thanks for sharing your experience.
👍👍👍
Hi Mark.
Another great video.Going to buy same mounts do you use the medium or high (OP91 or OP93)? Thanks
Keith
I’d get that fly mounted
There’s something very therapeutic about watching you 💪 🦊 🐇 🐦
Good shooting Mark, what happened to your series on the FX M3 air rifle??
I was just using it for a few episodes while it was on loan 👍
Mega vid!! Out of curiosity , what rifle bag are you using there Mark? Seems very padded and well structured!
👍👍
I hope this doesn’t sound like a stupid question, but here goes . Why is it when marks shooting at night and at distance you never use the windage app. But seem to get clean shots at 200 plus yards and the mic is clearly picking up wind.
Windage is a difficult thing to judge and a lot of the time rather than using the app I will go with experience of what I think it will be rather than the app simply because it’s constantly varying!
Also the mic maybe picking up a wind blowing directly towards or away from me which will have little effect on the bullet 👍
👍
Really enjoyed this video, thanks Mark. I have downloaded the Element app, but am trying to find a set of instructions (I’m new to ballistics apps). Do I just change the details in the Profile examples, or is there another place to start? I have messaged Element NZ, but no response yet. Thanks Mark
hi mark...i can see your a big fan of the th50.v2..iray....at this time pulsar have just launch there thermion xl 50....BUT ...only 1.75 base mag....im wondering what iray has up there sleve to blow this away....theres no going back after the round screen....keep shooting buddy....d
When you change scopes do they have to go back in the same place great video
You need to drop the mount back in the same slots on the rail that’s it 😉
A thermal scope or a monocular is one of the things I wanted to upgrade for my style of hunting. What product do you recommend?
Cracking video when u change ur scope over to ur thermal do u have re set ur thermal in again thanks
No the Sportsmatch mounts hold zero so you can swap scopes in seconds without the need to re adjust 👍
That stock on the airgun looks like my toilet after I have had a curry with a dodgy Tummy & peppered it!
I would suggest a little more fibre in your diet 👍
@@260rips😂😂😂👌🏻
Why the element in moa and your ranging in mtrs?
It’s simply because I brought a pair of r/f binos in metres secondhand and I’ve always worked in Moa, in honesty it make little difference as you can change units of measurement in the app so once you have entered the range it makes no odds 😉
The picture quality of the second product is really great, What's the brand of that?
The thermal scope? It’s the InfiRay th50 v2 - bloody good scope 👍
The first rabbit was Peter rabbit
l lke it
Very nice shooting ,up to your usual standard. What is the app you have on your phone please.
It’s the Element ballistics app, available on iPhone and also on android very soon!
Hi mark , see you are using Winchester ammo ,iv been having a lot of problems with some of them cracking off and going high velocity going everywhere. Have you had any problems with them . Thanks jim
Yes I’ve had a few that are not subsonic it would seem!
🦊💥👍
Hi what's the exact name of that ballistic app, I don't seem. To be able to find it in my app store. Many thanks
It’s the Element ballistics app 👍 only available on iPhone at the mo but on android very soon!
Mate what mounts do ya have for that thermal cheers.
Sportsmatch one piece quick release mount 👍
What 22 rounds are you using ?
Winchester x subs 👍
That looked like sooooo much fun. 22LR rifles are not allowed in my country, only shotguns, so I envy you. Were you able to correct the FX chronometer?
The chrono is spot on but sometimes you need to tweak the velocity you put into the app to get the drops exact but as it happens I didn’t need to, both crono and app were spot on 😉
Which country? That is terrible..
Love your content and shooting but that rifles stock looks like a piece of kitchen worktop
Ah I quite like it! May look better in the flesh!
Can't find that app
It’s on iPhone now but not out on android quite yet but should be very soon!
I found it but it seems to be only available for Apple platform. Why not android? What a crock!
It will be available on android very soon - it’s a new app out 👍
good rifles but why do they make the stocks look like the same plastic they use to make festival toilets 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆
Action finally starts at 16:25
Brilliant video and great shooting 😍😍😍
👍👍👍
A thermal scope or a monocular is one of the things I wanted to upgrade for my style of hunting. What product do you recommend?
I’d go for a thermal spotter over a scope initially or both if you can afford it! The pulsar spotters are my preferred choice I think but the InfiRay th50 v2 is the best thermal scope I’ve used 👍
