moocherboi 8 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) Hello, im was just going to apply for my shotgun certificate but after reading the above forum posts about apply for such a certificate and that its cheaper to apply for both shotgun and FAC i think i might do both. As i would like both. But i have a few queries??? Can i put a gun cabinet in my garage? What 12g under and over would you recommend for a beginner? (Not too expensive) What rifle would recommend for beginner? Ground game/ Fox any other tips to help me through my first apllication would be great. kind regards Edited December 28, 2008 by moocherboi Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Cabinet in the garage. I would say no for a few reasons. A ) Getting your FEO to approve it is difficult in most circumstances. B ) And your guns condition in a cold and wet garage. Depends on your budget for both the guns you list. But you are highly unlikely to have a .22 granted for Fox. Vermin only in the vast majority of cases. If I had to choose two beginners guns. .22= A CZ 452. 12g= Any mid range gun Quote Link to post
moocherboi 8 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 okay .22 wont do for fox but what could i use for vermin and fox? kind regards and many thanks Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 .223 seems to be the easiest to get on an FAC first grant, and one which can be used cheaply and effectively. I'd say a .22 and a .223 personally. Quote Link to post
jac2007 0 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 If you are in any doutes or want to check about anything contact your firearms officer and ask his advice on where to put your cabinet in your house. You tend to find if you can involve them at the start they can be helpfull. Quote Link to post
moocherboi 8 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 May i ask why is a .223 easier than a .22 and also what make and model you recommend for a beginner? i see you leave alot of post and help people with advise on such topics, i am very greatful for your help kind regards Quote Link to post
Deker 3,477 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Go along with everything SS has said. A Coterminous FAC/SGC, it will cost £10 more than a SGC ...and a second set of photos (God knows why)..but it's cheaper than a seperate FAC and SGC Quote Link to post

Anyway. A .22 will be very easy to get on first grant, no problem. It's a rimfire as I'm sure you know, and with Subsonic ammunition and a Moderator, it has near silent ability and is a great Rabbiting tool. A .223 is a centrefire. And If you want a multipurpose fox round which can also be used cheaply enough to headshoot Rabbits, then this is it. But my advice as always, is if you can afford it, have a .22 and a .223 SS Quote Link to post
