Stealth Stalker Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Frank Wheres the best place to hit them? Head or chest? What rifle is that & what cal? I've got a .22 Cz would that be good enough for foxes? If so what sort of range? Cheers S.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 My Rifle is a CZ 527, Caliber, .223. From my experience, anything from 100yds and over, i go for the chest,( BOILER ROOM). I go for brain shots if the fox is close, where im sure that the bullet will kill humanely. If im having a bad night ( we all do), i stick to chest shots, their is a 4 inch circle where you can humanely place your shot, which will distroy the vital organs, resulting in a quik kill. Tonight as i said, i used 40 grain Nosler ballistic tips which explode on impact and kill very quickly. I have used .22lrs on a few occasions and i try to get them in close,50yds and go for a brain shot allways. You can shoot them in the chest, but the fox may run a good bit before it drops and if that is in thick cover, you may not find it and will wonder if you hit it or not. I have lured foxes into 50yds and shot 19 one evening, using the .22lr and hitting them in the brain. That was the one off, dont think it will be repeated for a while yet.

Dunkield Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Frank, Good shooting geezer! Keep it up. SS, .22 rimfire is no good unless you get them right up close, you are better using a centrefire and keeping your options open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
