A newbie to FAC

Afternoon,

Had a successful conversation with FEO earlier this week and she is recommending I am granted both a 17HMR and 223. Result! Was only 10 days after I sent in the forms so hats off to Suffolk Police.

I am looking at the Tikka T1x and T3x for both calibres- I figure being familiar with the action and feel of the rifle will really help consistency rather than swapping if I do not need too  -my question is scope based but I welcome opinions on the Tikka choice too...

I was planning on a S&B 8x56 or similar fix mag and a Digex nv450 or similar night scope- mainly going to be rabbits and fox, occasional muntjac. 

Is a fixed magnification scope generally usable/used on a 17hmr? circa 100 yard rabbits?

I can  see I will end up swapping the scopes between the rifles a bit, I cant see any way round this, unless I shoot the rabbits with the 223!
