Beardo Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Depends on what range you think you'll shoot them at. Start off with 100 yards if you're not sure. (i currently use 100 yards as i have a TDS-4 Reticle, though used to use 40/155 yards with my old scope/ammo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase2506 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 200 yds on my 223 for fox control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiLisCer Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 221 Yards - why the odd range? because with my Ammo that means it is also zero at 30 yards and I have access to a 30 Yard MOD range most weeks if I want to shoot off a few rounds. (This is not a theoretical 221 yards - this is a confirmed 221 on paper) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 200 yards. anything from 0-225 is hold on fur for rabbit sized things. thanks rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 But what are the average distances you lot shoot foxes at? all mine are between 40 and 150 yards normally (a couple out to 250), but i'd rather call them in close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjm Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 between 100 and 200. the odd one further than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
