I have heard of the Gebby-but never have seen one. My older Sako L579 is on the short FN action-Last night with son-in-law (and his new LH Rem BA heavy barrel .17HMR something we shot two woodchucks, and I shot two of my namesakes- just before 9'o darkish- both kits I'd guess- red fox is mainly all legs and the heavy tail- one at est. paced 300 yards with his new Remington-Shepard scope, nice rifle- first shot stung Mr. Fox- second one took off his neck, and walking over to verify and pace off- on the way back son-in-law said "Dad- there's another one along the field edge-" If he went toward the dirt road boardering the field, he was safe as houses- he trotted straight at us- my first rd. splattered dirt in front of his forelegs- he stopped, and I took him in the rt. upper shoulder at about 90 yards- I use Hornady 55 grain Moly-Coat bullets in the .243W for chucks and fox, raccoons and possums- prefer their 75 grain for 'yotes-Unusual here to see a fox at dusk- and neither "deceased" was full of mange, as in past years-my late father got me hooked on varmint shooting as a boy-just as my grandfather did with barn pigeons-can't get enough opf it- The .220 Swift shown with that special foreplate is a "Steinway"--RWTF
