Long range in the dark is one of the reasons i sold my .223 and replaced it with a .204. If i couldn't have a .204 i would have a 22.250 or .243 using 55grn bullets. Flat shooting is a real advantage using n/v.

Yes after 3 years with the 223 and over 500 foxes, iv'e got to agree with this, there all flatter shooting than the 223, then the question would be which one, i know most 204 owners swear by them, but for me there would be the doubt of long range knock down power, my thinking at the moment would be 22-250.Originally Posted by jackal1

If you think you need a 22.250 go for it but i can assure you if you don't hit them in the right spot it won't matter what calibre you use. I have shot plenty of foxes over 300yds and they have dropped on the spot, i have also had one or two leg it up to 50yds when i have hit them too far back.
