Which Rifle for Foxes

[v-max]

Hello iv shot both but not to much with the 223 but done load's withh 222 it was my first cf rifle.I wanted more power but same cal & it was a 22.250 or 220 swift but the later more common so it was 22.250.Neaver looked back had this cal the longest 8yrs & plan to stick with it as it's 1 of the best .22 cf IMOH.

You won,t regret it mate!!!love mine :blink:

 

Did the same as your thinking...got same model as my .243 - CZ De-luxe.

 

Done a couple of fox out to 185yds and hit just where i aimed,stone dead..suppose the 223 would too but if you,ve decided then stick to it.

 

Best of..

I had a simalar prblem not too long back and even phone the licenseing to change application.

 

Is the 22-250 a better round? than the .222 or .223 could not really say. in mine and my mates hand on the range about equal.

 

There is not many cheap rounds about for the 22-250 but the cheap ex mil rounds for .223 is utter ****. As fister says like for like a quality rounds very little in it.

 

Noise... well there is a bit more but with the mod on you can't really tell. will borrow the sound metter from work and find out.

 

does it kill foxes.... oh yes

 

 

do i regret getting a 22-250 over the other .22 c/f not at all.

 

does seam a little better in higher winds but the bullet weights are the same???

might just be the luck on that day

Go with the .223 i like mine with a 1/9 twist barrel, they shoot bullets from 50-75gr very well, plus long barrel life.
