    You will love how flat and accurate the .17Hmr is its a great round.
    I have shot rabbits out at 180 yards and I know that its capible at further distances.
    A well placed round will take care of a fox up to 100 yards out, after that you are shooting foxes not humanley killing them.
    Have you selected a .17 rifle yet ?

    I have one of these and it's my favourite rifle, all they need is a YoDave trigger kit. It's a handy job to do yourself.
