al4x Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 silly question swiss but is it worth buying a 22.250 or just chucking in a variation for a .243 if you may want deer in the future it saves the expense of another gun mod and scope etc plus its every bit as good for foxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpip Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 well done Tony, must have caught em on a good day, rang them 6 month ago to check a new permission was cleared, thought I would inquire about opening my ticket up (had it 3 years only 22 rimfire on it). Women who answered phone gave me a right ear bashing did'nt care how many permissions I had, said not a chance they don't even have to open it on renewal. Its not been a problem as yet every farm I've inquired about has been allready checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
