Archie-fox Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm gonna say a 22 hornet as a small fox rifle...I've got a 17hmr and a 22wmr but managed to find a 1987 Brno fox rifle that had fired 1 shot then been put into storage. So it's currently with uk gun works being re-blued,the stock is away with stright shooter from the forum...and the barrel is away being re polished so as to it's performance I can't speak about yet but from what I have read about it looks the business....it will have a custom dm80 mod on it as well...will post some pics on its return...

I'm looking forward to seeing that rifle when it's done, the set trigger on the fox is a awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have the set trigger and walnut stock...I've got bits of it back like the action and bolt and 2 spare mags...should all be put back together by Wednesday...

Thedeerman Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Get a CZ Hornet. They're awesome and cost peanuts to shoot if you reload! I use a Lee classic loader that was about £25 and am getting great reslts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Holt Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'd personally go for a 17HMR and put on my license that it would be used for pest control/ rabbit shooting :good: Seen 1 fox shot in the engine room with a .HM at 90 yards, it dropped on the spot then got back up and took a follow up shot to put it back down.... not impressed at all. It's a cracking round but in my opinion it ain't a Fox round, I'll stick to my .222 they go down and stay down with that out to well over 200 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikka.223 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 .22WMR would be your best bet for a small fox rifle,just keep your distances sub 100 yards and your bullet placement in the right area and it will do your job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
