Let's not start the Forum off with bad advice OK?
First of all a Fox is a pretty resilliant critter and can pack lead like a much larger animal so an airgun like a Benjie or even some of the Magnum Sporters may not be enough gun for the chore. Better advice is to use a PCP of around 30 caliber or larger and use firly high power levels, The only problem with a PCP is the noise, they are all pretty loud and unless suppressed, will make more noise than a .22 LR! Sure the power levels can exceed that of a standard .22 LR but if the neighbors are goosey to the report of a gun, you'll definatelly run into trouble with the law!
Most townships have ordinances against discharging a firearm within City limits and this usually includes airguns. Check into that first.
I love my airguns but in this case I'd stick with a good .22 filled with Stingers for Foxes, they deserve a humane death and most Springers , Pump Pneumatics or CO2's don't offer that kind of power that's needed here. Why make the animal suffer or crawl off to a lingering death?
The suggestion about checking with Animal Control for a trap is a good one (legal too).
Above all use enough gun and an airgun might bot be enough.
