On mine,its just vermin and pest control,but I think all forces are different,best play safe and get guidance from your flo,the 17 is great for fox ,but you neds discapline with it ,over 100 yards you will struggle for consitent clean kills and wish you had something a bit bigger!!!if you are going to shoot fox regular,get a 222 or 243,or if its Just rabbits your after stick to the 22,or 17hmr,but be realistic with the guns capabilites.
