Favourite calibre for foxes

[Brad Y]

smacked a fox in the vital region with the hummer at 180 paces, dropped on the spot, another more recently in the jugular, yep on the spot. The hummer is that accurate calibre that you should have no worries taking a fox down. Ive taken small pigs with mine. Carefully placed shots. Mind you if the wind is about you should leave it at home and use the 243.

243

3.5 m to 350m i put it on the big bit and slap that trigger.

DEAD FOX every time well almost

243redmist, are you sure that fox isn't just sleeping?

He cant be dead because there is no blood

7mm Rem Mag versus reynard. I know a bit of overkill, but nothing beats a dead fox.

[Dror]

Yep I think that fox is dead. 7mmmag, I know it is a bit off topic but can you tell me what rifle that is, it's got the bolt on the proper side.

Cheers, Dror

Dror that's a savage and 7mmmag can drive it a long way very accurately.He put the choate stock on it as the savage stocks are a POS.I can't remember the model.
PS I keep telling you 7mmmag there is no such thing as overkill!!!

Dror, it is a Savage 112 VLSF (Think that is correct) varmint profile 7mm Rem Mag in left hand. As Macca said i replaced the original stock with a Choate. It is an extremely accurate rifle that hits incredibly hard as the photo shows.

Macca i know you like overkill, i can still picture the bunny that you hit with the 375 H&H. Well what was left of the rabbit, a couple of ears if i can remember correctly.
