When it comes to equipment for foxing, there’s so much conflicting advice around that I thought it would make sense to look at what’s actually used out in the field.
In this enterprise I have chosen to focus on four experienced fox shooters, including me, Paul, my usual shooting partner, and Olly and Joe, who both generally shoot on their own.
Let’s start with rifle and ammo choices. Paul uses a Browning X-Bolt in .22-250. He loves the make and has several of these guns, in both rifled and shotgun form. He uses Prvi Partizan 55-grain soft point ammunition through it, which, although at the cheaper end of the scale, certainly knocks over a lot of foxes. His take is they’re more than accurate enough when you’re shooting off sticks.

Growth in global sales of weapons is driving the global ammunition market
The demand for ammunition is directly dependent on the rise in security concerns, growing weapon sales, and increasing modernization programs.
