Glad it helped. Ive applied for a .223. It seemed a logical choice for fox and also for rabbits at a distance.

The 22-250 did get a (slightly) better write-up but ammo price was a factor. Was tempted to get a .243 but i go out with a friends and its just a little too much imo, and i dont have any intention (at the moment) of shooting deer.

On the calibre question I figure you first need to decide whether you want to shoot deer or not That will remove one aspect then of which rifle you'll go for If you can get deer permission and are interested in stalking then .243. So you'd have the one rifle for boith jobs, and more importantly a very good reason for having it when you go see the long arm of the law. I'm unsure how they look at .243 here for fox only so I won't comment.

i was in the same boat as you are now, but wanted a fox gun got the .223 and it done it's job but i change a year later for .243 got the deer cert and i still shoot foxes with it, it was the tikka t3 lite, i also buy my shit from paul, so its like this if its just fox 22.250 if you going to shot deer then .243 it's that easy
