Joshcup11 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hi Would there be problem with applying for. Variation for a 17 Hmr when I already have a 22lr? Would the land for the 22 have to be checked again and would the farmer have to sign the forms again? Thanks Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet1747 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 it's just a variation no need for farmer to sign , land might be passed all ready just phone police and ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshcup11 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Land was passed for. 22 and I believe it has been passed for. 223 for a group of blokes shooting foxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les*1066 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) As Bullet1747 said above, really. Just give the FEO a ring to be on the safe side, and that way you'll know for sure whether the land has been cleared for .17 HMR use or not. It won't hurt to tell the landowner what you intend to do, either. After all, it is his land, so it's more of a courtesy thing than anything else.

kent Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Don't speak to your FEO, just ask HQ what the land is cleared for if it is on record as .223 just put in the variation for the addition of the HMR, with you good reason as to why you want it in ADDITION to the .22. Ok so I dislike HMR and think its a nothing gun against the smaller centrefires and its too close to the .22 lr for the now fairly expensive ammo, but this is how I personally think you should play it if you want a .17 HMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorvale55 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 .22 lr and .17hmr are both classed as rimfires by my force, if it's passed for one it's passed for the other. Just give a good reason why you need one and put in for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give a good reason why you need one and put in for it. It might be in your area but not in all, that the big issue in licencing each area makes up its own rules were no actual law exists. Once its on your ticket however all of a sudden it becomes a non law law if you get my point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
