First Rifles for kepper

[ad22 1]

Yeah i have been told that they dont like to grant a .243 just for foxes. I think a .222,.223 or 22-250 would be the best option as a foxing gun, however as my first rifle i know they are all powerful rounds as was thinking about maybe a .22 hornet, but do you guys consider a .22 WMR and hornet in the same sort of leauge? I know the hornet is a bit more powerful but if i could get a wmr in semi auto then i would pick that instead.

 

At the moment im thinking .22lr (for bunnys) 22wmr semi auto(for walk around vermin gun and lamping gun to start with) .222 for shooting foxes from the high seats and lamping at night once i feel confident with the caliber. What do you guys think, still looking for reasons against semi autos? Would anyone pick a .17hmr over a 22wmr as a walk around vermin gun with mainly foxes in mind.

HI fella well done on the new job it can be a bit daunting taking a single handed position I remember the day I took my first single handed job what a learning curve it is,Just a small word of advice don't kill your self tending the birds take time to think and step back from the job it is really easy to get blinded by work and miss obvious problems

As for the guns a good quality .22 as a work horse and a .222 will fit the bill nicely if a fox is too far for the .22 then the .222 will take over their ain't no need for a .17 don't forget to add moderators to your application
