    Hi folks,

    Looking for some sound advice. Here's the story - I'm looking to buy a rifle for fox hunting and I've sourced a second hand tikka lite .223 with moderator for £900. But I was also shown a new stainless steel barrel 22-250 Titan 3 with moderator for £1000. I'm new to the whole rifle scene and was looking for opinions on the Titan as the tikka is well known. Very little on the web about the Titan 3.

    Thanks

    Have you spoken with your FO/Super about a .22-250 for foxing/vermin?
    Some will allow them and others won't.

    If your going to be shooting at them @ 350+ yards regularly, then pop for the 22-250 otherwise grab the 223 and enjoy an easier life.

    Titan is made by Roessler in Austria and in my opinion it is one of the best rifles under 1000€ around. I have Howa 1500 Varmint .223 and Titan 6 Match .308. I also used Tikka T3 extensively and like the Titan most. The bolt on Titan is of the highest quality and the same stands for metal bedding in the stock. I would definitely take Titan over any Tikka.

    I'd have a chat with your Firearms officer first if you have'nt had a rifle licence before as your thinking about getting a centerfire, alot of the time they prefer if you get a rimfire first.

    Cheers lads,
    I'm up north here and there's no issues with getting the licence. I'm leaning towards a .22-250 as it'll allow me to shoot small deer back home down south. Up here up to .250 can be used for vermin as long as you have enough ground. My prices are in sterling, are they abit steep?

    In that case go for the .22-250 and you won't look back

    The Tikka looks a bit dear to be honest.
