Foxing Rifle Opinions.

[6.5-06 TIKKA]

22ppc all day long, fast and benchrest accuracy.

Not really. Im doing 3000 acres and have three bait stations. If your full time you probably have plenty of bait as well, although you dont need masses, just fresh and regular.. cameras if you can as well, and make your life easier.
If you have 4000 acres on your beat its easily doable.

Fancy a job?

Fancy a job?

Ha ha, I'm 30 years too late, bud. But if I knew then what I know now, I'd jump at the chance. I wish I'd followed my dreams. My older brother did, he quit his factory job, nicked a couple of my dogs to bump up his few and spent a season picking up on a commercial shoot, ended up becoming head keeper for some time on there. He has no regrets about doing that.
I'm an old man now, you're young, live the dream while you can. It might seem like hard work sometimes, but try to make things easier for yourself if you can.
Don't chase your tail with rifles, .243 is a great fox rifle, might not be trendy anymore, but who gives a $hite about that.

If I was buying a rifle specifically for foxing it would be 22-250 without question.

I use 17 Remington and 6 mm BR for fox, mostly sub 200m.
The BR gets more use than the 17.
The 243w with the right bullets is a damn near perfect fox rifle.
Seems silly to change to me unless you dont like the rifle…..

If I were without noise constraints on some of my farms, I would have gone .22-250 over the Vixen.
