Yoter don`t want anyone to think I`m bashing a .17 Rem. If my post came across that way I apologize. But with a little over 30 years worth of experience shooting fox with a .17 and factory loaded ammo I don`t think I have seen over a handfull that didn`t have an exit wound. It is usually small, but not always. As for shot placement, a grey fox that won`t stand still in a red lens spotlight at night does not make for precise shooting. As for the 17hmr they work fine if you don`t mind seeing 300$ cats run off and enjoy trying to trail them in the dark. If you could headshoot everything they might be fine. But from what little I have seen the 22 mag is by far a more reliable varmint killer.
