222 or 223 the gundealer has a 222 that he would do a straight
swap or a 223 that would need money put to so any info on what
to go for the rifle will be for fox

Not much difference. More choice of ammo available for the .223
although I've never had a problem getting different sorts for my
.222.

The 222 is a more powerful round and fits between the 223 and
the 22-250. If I had to chose I would go for the 222 as it gives
more range. Any of the cemtrefires will be no good on rabbits,
they will smash them beyond use lol. So keep a rimmy for
rabbits, and go for the 222, it will give you 50-100 yards more
range than the 223, and ammo is almost the same price.
22-250 is the same price as 243 almost lol

223 I would say 200-250 metres, the 222 I would keep to 250-300
metres, and the 22-250 I would keep to max 350-400 metres on
fox.

I have a .222 and use the lightest round 40 grain norma. Its
great fast, flat shooting. Ive never had a problem getting ammo
for it.
Ive taken a few foxes with it. Furthest one if im being honest
is 170 yards. Thats just because I shoot at night. Ive never
had a fox complain yet.
