    Thanks for that TWOTWOTHREE - interesting as Low Mill Range is a gun shop/service I use. Obviously won't be entering the comp tho as I'm not a FAC holder yet. tegater - I totally agree r.e development. From what I can gather everyone has their own preferences/opinions when it comes to the many calibres available. Just the other day I heard the .223 described as a 'chav rifle'!

Any useful info appreciated. Thanks

    I'm assuming you don't hold a shot gun license? If I was you I'd stick to an air rifle for rabbits. Going the FAC route just to shoot rabbits seems a bit OTT to me (given the process and financial aspect - application fee, cost of rifle/ammo safe, rifle, scope, ammo...) and I doubt you'll be granted one just for that anyway. Obviously with the air rifle you can shoot pigeons both on the roost and on the ground. I don't know anyone who goes out specifically after woodies with a rimfire especially given that they can only shoot them on the ground. Shotgun would be ideal for decoying woodies,

    I'd probably have had that if you were actually in the proper North West area i.e Cumbria!

    I'll speak to my Land Rover Guru and see what he says - in the mean time where are you and how much you looking for?

    Looking for a set of alloys to go on my 1995 Discovery with off road style tyres - Cumbria area please. My Disco is currently fitted with standard white defender wheels and doesn't look so good
