035.jpg End of day, after shooting driven Croatian wild boar, 3456 x 2304ORIGINAL ARTICLEBudget driven boarSTANDFIRST: Where do you go for the best-value boar in Europe. Charlie Jacoby joins a party of lads from Northumberland, who reckon they’ve found the answer in CroatiaWhen syndicate guns and guests from the Whitfield shoot in Northumberland decided to go driven boar shooting in continental Europe, the choice of where to go, how much to pay and even how to get there became an almost military operation of strategy and planning. Whitfield headkeeper Stuart Maughan was the lynchpin of the party. He wanted it to go right. The lads had been thinking of going to Germany but Stuart went on a recce there last year. He saw plenty of roe and no boar, so cancelled the trip. He was impressed enough by Lasarotta’s Croatia hunting offer to recommend three days of it to his guns at Whitfield. What clinched it for some was that there are no trophy fees. Lasarotta offers boar hunting in Croatia at a flat rate of £XXX a day.First stop is Petrova Gora, a 14,000ha hilly hunting area two hours south of Zagreb. We put up in a comfortable hotel and next morning line up, kitted out for the three drives. The language barrier with the beaters is no barrier to our shared intention to bring home a bag of driven wild boar.You can hire rifles for euro25 a day with a euro2 charge per cartridge fired. The gun I got was no beauty. A well-used 8x57 with open sights, it fired straight enough when they asked me to shoot it at a cardboard box.After the traditional Continental hornblowing ceremony where the headkeeper welcomes the shooters and reminds everyone of the safety rules, we set off into the hills.Safety rules dominate boar shooting. Nobody, after all, is ever “peppered” by a rifle bullet. The three main rules on the Croatian hunts were:- Shooting starts with three blasts on the horn and ends with one blast on the horn- During shooting, you stay on your peg. This was difficult when yo

037.jpg Cumbrian foxshooter Graham Askew, 3456 x 2304HEAD: Foxing on top of the worldSTAND: Bringing in foxes and shooting them on high hills has its own challenges. Charlie Jacoby meets Cumbrian foxshooter Graham AskewLucky that Graham Askew was there. It was the middle of the night and he was sat on top of hill in one of his foxshooting areas and he had his night vision trained on a likely patch of gorse. It’s not far from Junction 36 of the M6 and this was about the time of the Appleby Horse Fair. A white van backed through the gate and on to the land where the farmer keeps his sheep. A man got out and swept the field with a big torch.Graham felt nervous. The last thing you want to do when you are in charge of a Remington 7 .22-250 rifle is confront a sheep rustler. Happily, the man got back into the van and drove off without knowing he had been watched. Graham reported the incident to the farmer. “That’s it,” said the farmer. “We lock things up from now.”Thanks to his vigilance, Graham is a valued key-holder. And that’s good news, too, because Graham loves it here. It’s a glorious piece of North Country with views of the Yorkshire Dales one way, the fells of the Lake District the other and, far out to sea, the Isle of Man on a clear day. The 300 acres of land itself is sheep pasture dotted with clumps of gorse that are havens for rabbits and foxes alike. The farmer called in Graham five years ago to deal with the rabbits. He does that gladly but his main sport is the foxes.Graham has other foxshooting areas. A foxshooter for 17 years, there’s a wild pheasant shoot he looks after and a fishery where he has a DEFRA permit to deal with cormorants, too. This piece of land near Junction 36 is the place he likes to come and just sit. He is out on it twice a week. In the last fortnight of August he had nine foxes off it. He expects to shoot 20 there a year. “It’s fox paradise,” he says.He is having an effect on the fox population – though maybe they are becoming mo

056.jpg Mauser M03 in .243 with Zeiss Diavari VM 2.5-10x 56 scope, 3456 x 2304ORIGINAL ARTICLEA game of cat and MauserIt’s as good a test for a gun as any. Charlie Jacoby takes the Mauser M03 out after a fox that has been preying on a local old lady’s catsMrs Blank rang up in a state. She’s the only anonymous part of this story. She loves her sheep farming, she loves her countryside and she loves her cats. She saw a fox go off with one. Could I come and deal with it?Since I had a rifle to test, a Mauser in .243, this seemed like an ideal opportunity. I’m not one to deny any predator their pick of a basket of cats but I was doing this for Mrs Blank. She farms locally and, for various reasons, we’re stiff with foxes just now.The Mauser has a long history behind it. It comes from Germany where the Mauser brothers led the way in rifle ingenuity in their day. In the 1890s, Paul Mauser created the M98 which included the modern Mauser action we see in so many rifles today. Its strength and reliability made it the ideal base for the M03It is hard to get over the simplicity and ingenuity of the Mauser action With six lug nuts to hold the bolt in the barrel that bolt ain’t going anywhere. The round in the chamber stays centred.Continuing this theme of knockability for shooters in the field, Mauser has produced a a synthetic stock, while still aiming to retain the M03 classic look and shape. To an extent, that succeeds. Of course, synthetic stock rifles look awful but this looks less awful than, say some of the Thomson Center rifles.Like many new rifles the synthetic stock helps to keep the Mauser M03 completely weatherproof which aids accuracy in poor weather conditions. It gives a non-slip grip.Like many continental rifles, such as the Blaser R93, the M03 offers interchangeable components such as barrels.On first mounting it to my shoulder it fitted comfortably, This is down to the well engineered pistol grip and stock. Not only is it ergonomically pleasing but not to

078.jpg Remington 700, 3456 x 2304ORIGINAL ARTICLEKeith Varley’s foxing rifle started life as a 22-250 Remington 700. A friend of his had it for target shooting and liked its groups, so he sent it down to Norman Clark Gunsmith for some customisation. Norman Clark converted it to 6mm PPC, put on a Shilen trigger and a barrel by Border Barrels, glass bedded into the stock. Then the friend found an even better rifle, so sold this one to Keith. “I would have had a Jewell trigger but the Shilen trigger is what Norman did,” says Keith.The set-up includes a Nightforce 8-32x56 scope with ladder reticle instead of mil-dot and a sidewheel adjustment. Keith explains: “There’s a lot of woodland where I shoot. You get foxes creeping around. You will see an eye; you have checked it’s a fox not a roe deer. The beauty of this scope is you can zoom in from the back and adjust the focus on the sidewheel.“With a Swarovski scope, you daren’t do that, because if you start fiddling with the focus/zoom at the front, you can lose the fox. The only problem with the Nightforce scope is its pop-up lens protectors, which swivel when you zoom in.”The rifle has a Harris bipod. Keith likes the heavier bipods but prefers shooting off a bag when using the car bonnet as a rest.He also has a monopod near the butt of the rifle, which he grips with his left hand when he takes a shot. “I was brought up to believe that the less contact I have with the gun the better,” he says.“I’ve got quite a lot of money tied up in the rifle and scope but, if I’m doing a job, I’ve got to do it well. Every shot I take, I put a rod through it.”He doesn’t use a moderator on this gun because the extra weight would make it feel awkward but he has a Reflex T8 on his other gun – a Mannlicher .243 Rem he bought for deer. He says he has a friend who worked in forestry and went deaf because he used an unmoderated rifle. Scope on that is a 6-18x50 Swarovski on Mannlicher snap-on mounts. He also owns a .22 Hornet.“I don’t think
