Fac Help

[slugbuster 4]

Hi I'm 30 in just over a year and want to apply for a fac for my 30th. My question is what caliber is a good all rounder for everything from rabbits to foxes. I realise this is probably the same as asking what caliber air rifle is best but the choices seem vast.

Thanks in advance

Depends on the land & your experience & what you are going to be shooting more of fox or rabbit

 

For mainly rabbits..

 

You wont be dissapointed with a 22LR, great little rifles and ammo is cheap but widely accepted (by many police forces) as NOT suitable for foxes

 

For rabbits and the odd fox..

 

Your best chance is probably a 17hmr, great for rabbits and many forces seem to accept fox with it, I think the ammo for them is a little bit pricey at the minute though.

 

If your going to be shooting more foxes than rabbits it would be better to get a more capable caliber like a 22 hornet or a 22-250

In all honesty to make things easier for you, I would be looking at two rifles, a .22LR and a .223 purely because then you have everything covered from Rats to Roe (in Scotland)

Just to be different a 22 LR and a 243 nice sized rifle for most things
