tjdwillis Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 As a student on a tight budget, Im trying to decide which .22CF to go for for foxes and possibly occasional Muntjac. Does anyone know which .22's are best value second hand? .223 was my original preferance but they seem to hold their value and therefore cost a bit more second hand. Is there a reason for this or is it just that there more popular. .222's seem cheaper. I shouldnt choose on price but i dont have much choice. I just need something that will do the job properly as I dont think my .17HMR is a humane fox rifle. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 As of the first of October, for Muntjac and fox .223 would be an obvious choice. .222 would do the job just as well, it is less popular and very slightly less powerful but inherently accurate - it's a very good round.

Mungler Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Welcome. Go for the .223 - more gear available and cheaper ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
