berettalover Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi there, I'm thinking of applying for my fac, im a gamekeeping student and will be 18 in a few months time, I would like to get a rimfire for rabbit rabbit control but would also like either a .222 or a .243 for foxes. I already have my sgc and have my safe installed but do i need a seperate safe for the rifles? I know i need a seperate ammunition safe. Also would they grant me the calibres ive asked for, would they hold back because of my age? I have experiance with both rimfire and centrefire rifles and have suitable land to use them on and have Experianced rifle users to accompany me if needed Thanks for any answers that are given Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 If you can demonstrate good reason, your application should pose no problems. Just be prepared for them to say no to the .243 for fox and steer you towards a .22 c/f. Rifles can be stored with shotguns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 You may as well ask for a .243 for fox. It used to be a caliber that police forces did'nt like to pass just for fox. but rules have changed now. You can also say that you would like to use the .243 for deer in the future. And, as mentioned, you can store rifles and shotguns in the same cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
