Success with the Steyr Pro-Varming .222

[Big Dog]

The Pro-varmint with wildcat mod in .222 is awsome. I have a 2 stage adjustable trigger in mine (special order) and it is the best gun I have ever used. I love it. I will post a better photo of the gun latter so you can see the set up but here it is in action.

 

The attached photos are foxes I shot earier this summer. The 3 shot was early one summer morning with my Steyr Pro-varmint .222, using 50g v-max for the 2 adults and a 40g moly v-max on the club. A farmer contacted me to say he had a fox problem. A 0630hrs visit to a hilly field enabled me to glass and spot the home of his problem within 2 mins. A 30min stalk and dog never knew he was dead. The vixen ran a field length and stopped to look back, another humane kill. I knew the club would return to the home sight so I waited 5 mins and shot it too. I shot the other 4 club about a week earlier while lamping rabbits one evening with my .22LR; al about 25/30yards.

 

 

The 2nd photo shows a humane kill of a fox shot with the .222 using a 40g v-max

That is good going mate to have taken out the Dog, Vixen and all the cubs cleanly and humanely.

Well done!

I have to admit that I think the .222 is a fantastic rifle for "foxing" with!
