Colster Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 .22 FAC Air and .22LR, I can feel a variation coming though (possibly HMR and .223 or .243) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lez325 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 . 22 FAC Air + 22 LR + 17 HMR - added a .222 six months later Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I think it was .22lr, .17HMR and 6.5x55. I really can't remember if I asked for the .223 on application or soon after? Being realistic they will like to see you with some rimfire experience for a while before granting a bigger rifle. That's unless you've got some experience or want to be mentored? That's not always the case though and if you have a genuine need for something larger then ask for it and see what they say. Really your choice should come down to what you have to shoot and the ground requirements. What do you plan to be going after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayfly36 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 .17hmr, and a .223 as below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I put .22 FAC Air-rifle,.22LR and .17HMR to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyflier Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Just asked for a .22lr to be added on my renewal. Used to have one, hated the ricochet's so did a 1 for 1 variation to the 17 HMR. I regret doing that now, as there's definately a place for both when bunny hunting. Oh well, we live and learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobyb525 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 22lr, 17hmr, 357 lbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 on application, 2x 22lrs, 17hmr. 1st variation 12g fac, 2nd variation another 22lr, another 12g fac, 22/250. third variation, another 2x 22lrs, 223, 6.5x55, 7.62x51. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth W Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 6.5 x 55 and .243 in case one or the other was refused, just done a variation to swap the .243 for a .223, which might now be getting changed to a .222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Just wondering what guns people asked for when applying for firearms certificate as i am going to apply. Surely it would be whatever guns you have a a need for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixhills 69 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hi; It all depends on the land and what you are shooting i asked for 22lr, 17hmr, and .22 centre fire all with sound mods if you don't put you want a sound Mod they will not place it on for you but the above will cover most vermin shooting. (put every thing down as a veration cost's £40) Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Surely it would be whatever guns you have a a need for? Just what I was thinking. Always seems strange when people pop up and say "what calibre did you ask for" or "what reason should I put down for wanting FAC shotgun" etc. surely you know what you need and know your reasons otherwise you wouldn't need one...
