i think the 2506 is classed as a varmit caliber like the 243. but on a larger scale than the 223, still a awesome round to shoot and a handloaders dream, when i feel like a change from my 3006 i'm getting a 25 cal tube put on my rifle
had a remington for a few years and was so mild to shoot and could reach out and tag goats at some unreal ranges! rabbits and hares{they are classed as pest over here} were just red stains on the grass after being hit with a 75gr boattail at 3500

ya be on the money i'd say leveller
pretty common over here on heading dogs and collie x's. it's a fault found in working dogs that stays in some lines of working dogs. alot like the smithfield blood which keeps throwing tailless pups. -
sako chamber rifles in 6mmppc and the smaller 22ppc. the new winchester short magnums might be worth a look as well.

the .17rem is the best tool for shooting foxes when shooting them for cash as the pelt damage is very small, thats why the round has been great for aussie. i have used a 22mag on game up to the size of red deer so can't see how it's too small for foxes? the same with the hornet,great calibre within it's limits, was my favorite fallow rifle for years. all depends on how good ya stalking skills and bullet placement are. any animal hit in the head at sensible ranges eg 30meters for a .22 is dead meat. i do alot of shooting and no how to place a bullet, however i don't recommend shooting large animals with rimfires.

get a 223, little bit more grunt than a 222 {which would be my second pick}and not as loud as a 22.250. if ya have only just taken up rifle shooting the hotshot .22's are going to be too much gun for you mate and the 223 is ideal for headshooting rabbits at some fairly long ranges, i have a tikka t3 and smoke everything i can see with it,including deer and pigs. the 204 ruger has yet to prove itself over a longer period of time and it could easily fade away overnite as only a few rifle makers are chambering it{as yet}. the .17 rem is a great fox cal the aussies have shoot millions of foxes with it and so long as the wind is not to heavy can usally shoot better than the shooter.

They are good reels them lc leedas arent they rob. I got three o them
Was it windy up there. I was fishin yesterday and nearly got blown away 
got one trout that was 3lb 13 but the tail was shite :11: Smudge
wots the deal about the tails??????????????? do you judge the trout by it's tail????????
-
they are more like fox terriers, we still use them on pigs too, they hunt just like any other pigdog but they are of limited use due to their size, however once they get a taste for boars nuts they are priceless! that shot of the boar sitting down in the water is a perfect example he's protecting his family jewells! even a little terrier can sit a big boar down once they learn [bANNED TEXT] bits to bite

-
:11: no lucky they have no rotty in them just a mix of working dog and a bit of boxer. like the german shepard the rotty is not common in nz pigdogs.
-
my little mate sam, followed me all the way out to make sure the pig didn't wake up so he could give it another good telling off......how do u post up vid clips anyone?
-
yeah i'm a great fan of the old lab in pigdogs great nose and love of work even the purebreds make good pigdogs, although a little bit slow due to thier love of food. we have some of the older lines of lab over here that are alot bigger than the pet/show stuff as well as some really good working curly coated retrievers.

think it might be a 'hummel' head, seen heads like it in reds, some stags grow to huge sizes with deformed or no antlers at all, due to damaged nuts they tend bulk up and grow fat like a steer, hormone thing. great looking head with a good story and shot with a great calibre
