    Yeah was a big industry back in the day. Lots of fellas put food on the table with fox skins. A Sako, Remington or Tikka in .17 Rem with a Kahles 8x56 scope was the sign of a serious pro fox shooter. I think I've read on the Sako Collectors Club forum that more Sako .17 Rems went to Australia than anywhere else.
