Ok am putting in for vermin rifles
22 rimfire pretty much given for Fully moderated close vermin
but would like a bit more range and ocassional close fox so .17HMR (Dorset will sign it of for Fox for secondary ie if my reason was fox then no )
however they seem to be Marmite and on top there are a more than occsional ammo problem that could result in serious injury
SO what other options 80- 150+ yrds Rabbit with up to 50yrds Fox mainly the one who keeps getting my chickens (if I got a lot of Fox I would get a 223 etc well actually no i would get a deer cal and use that for both )
Oh and importantly I want to eat what I shoot if possible so ripping rabbits to pieces isnt any use
