100m vs 200m...??
Ops asked for advice, ppl have offered up some suggestions - but now apparently thinking of two scopes no one has mentioned?

I'm certainly not a troll. I posted the same question on AHN and they recommended the Leupold and Nikon, which apparently are a league above the Bushnell recommended (but I'm pretty green with scopes, hence the reason for the questions), plus I'm still considering the Bushnell mentioned here, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it.

I decided on wiehruch HW 60 J .222 and fitted a Hawke vantage 3x9 50 and couldn’t be happier.
Don’t really see the need for me too own a .22 LR when the .222 can do it and some more

If I were starving and spotted a fox at 200yds, I'm confident I could make a good chest shot with a scoped .22LR, as long as I had a range finder, and the wind wasn't too horrendous. In a survival situation though ethics tend to go out the window, when you need food you kill whatever you can, however you can. Although at that distance I'd be surprised if the fox was bothered by subsonic bullets whizzing by, so you could probably walk them onto the target. Would it have enough energy for a clean kill? I would say yes if you take out the heart, lungs, spine, aorta or liver. Would it be an ethical shot? Nope, not for me, but if it were the only opportunity I had to drop a bastard that's been killing stock or wildlife I might take the shot rather than wait and let him do more harm.
No need for a .22LR? And I'm picking up another .22 tomorrow, plus another 12ga, and an air-rifle
