Favorite fox rifle

[foxinmad]

Tikka 595 in 22/250 with a 26" tube, shooting 75grn amax very well.

What twist?

 

[foxinmad]

1 in 8 twist, running just a tad over 3300 fps, had it a long time now, won't part with it.

 

[Oh6]

Retiring the .25-06 from dedicated thermal soon as the rebuilt Vixen .222 comes on stream

.25-06, driving 75gr VMax very quickly

 

[bumpy22]

Sako 75 in 223 with the mighty drone pro on top. Throwing 53gn vmax at foxes very straight

 

[B&W FOX]

.22 hornet

 

[Craigsaun]

For me it’s my Bergara B13 in 222 with 50gr Hornady vmax and vit powder , amazing!!

My stalking rifle, careful of the man with one rifle, he probably knows how to use it

 

[old keeper]

My usual fox rifle is an H-S precision actioned custom 204 by Mike Norris, but recently I've been using my Sako A11 243 with either a lamp or Pard 007V. It's a lovely old rifle and shoots brilliantly.

The vast majority of my foxes are shot at under 200 yards

 

[Auroch]

Really enjoy using my Sauer 100 keeper in .223 and Alpex 4k lrf combo - shoots 53gr federal v-max exceptionally well.

 

[buckfever]

More than happy with my howa 223 with norma tipstrike 55gr. Foxes don't like them much

 

[gr cz527]

22 250. great foxing caliber imo. much prefer it to my previous 223. love shooting it.

 

[Len the dog]

Ordinarily my 22-250, but the 22 Hornet certainly plays a part.

My favourite is this old Annie in .22 Hornet, I love tripping them up nice and close with this little darling, such a sweet little round to shoot, it's almost like using the childhood peashooters we had as kids... I used to use moistened bog roll in mine as you got better obturation...

Moistened bog roll for in the peashooter or the Anschutz? I might be missing a trick perhaps.

Moistened bog roll for the pea shooter gave me cloverleaf groups on the artexed ceiling in my bedroom, also good for close-range fly control... Looking back I started young with this hunting game

I had a similar intention with 1:9, some seem to get the 75gn to work, I never could, 69gn TMK are brilliant in mine

My favourite foxing rifle is my 204. I have owned a few 204 rifles since they came out 20 years ago.
I had a Ruger varmint in 220 swift in pre moderator days before that which was a great rifle.
I shot a lot of foxes with that Ruger but my hearing has suffered as a result.
Here is my current 204

Smart bit of kit.
My brother still has a Ruger MK2 Varmint in .220 Swift, and it's still shooting as well as ever, I used it a couple of seasons ago and shot a dog fox at just under 400 yards of quad sticks, I only put the rifle up to get a look at him sitting watching us in the edge of a game strip, but it was so steady and solid I took the shot
