Re: Favourite calibre for foxes
When skins were worth $45-50 I used a 17Rem, since skins lost value I use a 25.06 so which do you want the now or the then

Re: Favourite calibre for foxes
Similar answer to Rinso except I use the 22-250 or 243.The 17 was great for the money work,except mine needed to be cleaned at around 15 to 20 rounds,but shot so well.

Re: Favourite calibre for foxes
.243 would have to be my most often used calibre, although great numbers have been taken with the shotgun or 250.
Re: Favourite calibre for foxes
Mate usually the 250, but if Im looking for a pelt either LR or the ever faithfull hornet.......
Re: Favourite calibre for foxes
PLEASE ADD .204 TO THE LIST!!!!
My 20 Practical is my new favourite rifle over my .243 for foxing and bunnies.

Re: Favourite calibre for foxes
outta my safe, when its full, 204 will be fisrt off the rank when looking for foxes, 6/250 next then 223. Havent done anything with the 17 m4 yet so dont know if it will take over third spot.
