    aye right so you do the skillseekers for 2 years then move onto nc and hnc then? how far in are you on the course, hopefully friday the 13th is lucky for me then, hopefully i might of found a placement though fingers crossed and apparently that guarantees you a place so i have been told on the phone by some one at the college in charge of the gamekeeping courses

    thanks for your replies i already have the air rifle but under 12ft/lbs so was actually thinking about getting it registered and pumped up to desired power, but i understand what you are saying about the 22lr doing the same job. and i have put down for .17hmr for the general vermin control on other permissions and for those longer shots does that make sense i might just be explaining it funny cheers

    i have put the fac air down as i have permission where there is a lot of outbuildings sheds etc. and put the .17hmr for general rabbit control on other permissions. no dont want to be changing barrells all the time but the option is always there if did purchase a quad, and wouldnt have to go and buy a whole new gun, scope etc do you think this is a wrong thing to put then or?

    i have put .17hmr and fac air down on my form now so its bit to late to change but i am goin to ask my feo about having the sako quad and having another calibre barrell.

    thanks for the replies you can use the .17 for close ranges to though can you not? i have heard that the crack is not to extremely bad though is this true? i have no expierence about the .17hmr cheers
  12. t5avs1
    why do people choose .17 hmr over .22lr generally is it because of the extra distance or better accuracy, flatter trajectory?? cheers
  13. t5avs1
    cheers for that what did you say you wanted the fac air for? i mainly want it for around outbuildings, stables etc
  14. t5avs1

    cheers for that pal always good to hear a bit of advice i mainly just want a good rabbit gun and a ocasional fox gun so prob a 22lr and a 223, does it matter how big the land is or is it more to do with the way it lies ie backdrop and hills etc?
