Well after re reading what everyone has inputted I think I will go down the two rifle route.
.17hmr for the rabbits, I like the flat trajectory and with the cost of amunition pretty much on par with shotgun carts it makes sense.
As for a CF I do like the sound of the .204 ruger again speed and flat trajectory. But not muntjac calibre as it's min .240 for all dear isn't it ?
The dear on the land is shot by somone that actualy pays for that plus the added cost of going down the dsc1 one course that most people are 'asked' to do!
For Muntjac and Chinese Water deer only- a rifle with a minimum calibre of not less than .220 inches and muzzle energy of not less than 1000 foot pounds and a bullet weight of not less than 50 grains may be used.
For all deer of any species – a minimum calibre of .240 and minimum muzzle energy of 1,700 foot pounds is the legal requirement.

Would rather not bang my Sauers around in a truck the wood is to nice for such things.

.223 hornady varmint using factory for the brass so I can start reloading when my kit arrives
-
Three last night could hear the good thump of a boiler room shot and watch them run on 40 yards and die with hardly a exit closest was 60 yards the longest was 225. I'll have to give one a shake and see if it's mush inside when I go out tonight
-
Right on though was expecting a good a fist sized exit perhaps it didn't hit anything hard enough to force it to expand
-
Any one else had these not expand I thought these where suppose open up really well?
-
Nicely done mate. No Mod on the new rifle?
Haven't decide on what one yet most probably going to be a wildcat Evo once I get my hands on one to try if I don't like it going to go to the old faithful predator 8

used my .308 for foxing for 6 months using 123 grain Sako's. it works very well but nothing like a .223 you can watch the fox drop unlike the .308 feeding the .223 is slightly cheaper and it doesn't have a trajectory of a rainbow
-
dont mind cows there not to bad. Only one I will have a worry about is the bull that might be in amongst them
-
I have a .243 .308 and a .223 they all kill a fox without much trouble.
-
any pictures?

Finished work early Tuesday evening and decide to go deer stalking grabbed the gear and off I went. I drove to the other side of the farm and started glassing from the road and spotted to white bums going though a gateway. Drove down the lane got the gear out and started stalking down the hedge poked my head over and saw two roe deer quick glass and one of them had the right equipment put the roe sack and binos down on the ground popped my head over the hedge to make sure the deer were still there and to my horror they spooked knelt down to grab the stuff on the ground and the same roebuck appeared 75 yards in front of me he stopped and turned front on and stared at me slowly I got the bipod ready got into a prone position popped the lens caps up the buck barks at me and comes walking at me with some swagger I thought what the F is going on here. Had the buck fever kick in as I let him walk to me my little mantra was whispered its only a deer with nuts and antlers. Gave him a Oi cross hairs on the neck back stop check squeezed the trigger bang dropped on the spot neck bone completely destroyed on inspection. Quick gralloch had time for one more. Drove around and glassed the other fields and saw 15+ deer a few little bucks coming on let them be to see what they make of themselves next year.
I went to the next farm walked down to a field and saw 8 deer in it glassed two bucks in amongst some the does. The wind wasn't in my favour if I tried to stalk down the hedge and up into the deer and stalking into them from above was a no go no backstop so it was a hands a knees job for 120+ yards mumbling I am to old for this ****, by now the light is going and decide I am close enough for another neck shot got settled behind the rifle when I was ready I let the round off watched him drop in the scope the other deer looked up wandered over to see why Bucky had fallen over and carried on grazing much to my annoyance wouldn't do that if I wasn't after the other one bumped them on gralloch and a drag back to the car and off home I went.

my 8x56 is 30mm i have found a nice Zeiss that's on sale with plenty of mag for a reasonable price thanks all

I have two S&Bs I just find when a fox is sat past 150 yards I can't see the blighter due to poor eyesight and the thick reticle so trying to find something to give me a bit more range when required.
-
What's people's thoughts on the scope for foxing it's a mildot reticle. I currently have a 2.5-10x50 hawk on my .223 and i am struggling with it
