robbiep Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Longbower, Its fine reading stuff on paper specially looking at graphs and ballistic charts, energy retention bumph and all those numbers. BUT a thing to be aware of is the accuracy of the little 22lr round at 150, Trust me and umpteen others who have experience shooting 22lr. To hit a Fox at 150yds with a 22lr and kill may be possible, but consistently ? that will be a no so It is not or should not be taken. Agreed. A 22LR will carry lethality for a long way, but at anything over 50 yards (subs) or maybe 80 yards (HV), the slightest amount of wind will wreck a shot. I'm sure there will be people who will disagree with that, and tell you that they can take a fox out at 200 yards in a howling gale with subs ...

walshie Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) .22 rimfire for fox ... really :no: I would like to see that on your FAC It used to be on mine "vermin including fox". Latest incarnation of my ticket is ALQ. A 22lr is more than capable at appropriate ranges. Edited May 8, 2015 by walshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil w Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 150 yards Is too far for a humane kill for a .22 rimfire. Wonder what the hold over would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 The 22lr is a joke on a fox and as for 150 yrds you would have to point the gun at the moon. Problem sorted now but thanks for the replies. ATB YoungMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
