arveyboy 0 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) ive recently applied for a variation on my FAC to include a .243WIN for fox and deer. the initial application took 7 days from sending off my forms to getting my FAC (must have been some kind of record). anyway, i got a call this morning to organize the interview so thats happening next friday. he sounded pretty positive and said it would only take a few minutes as it would be very similar to the last interview (sounds good to me). will hopefully have my FAC back in a couple of weeks to spend money i dont have on another rifle so ill post up some pics but thought i might share my excitement with everyone still havnt decided on my set-up fully but looking at the moment like: Tikka t3 lite predator 8 moderator harris swivel bipod (the long one ) at the moment i have no idea on the scope i want. i had been looking at a leupold vxIII but id like target turrets as i want to do a fair bit of rangework with it as well and target turrets on a vxIII go way out of my budget. any ideas for less than 400 squid? Mr Logic also recommended a meopta blahblah (forgotten the name) but that also doesnt have target turrets. thanks anyway Mr L for spending your time on choosing a set-up for me. also entirely out of interest, does anyone or has anyone shot .243AI and whats it like. all i know about it is that the case was resized for a fatter neck to increase powder capacity and that its a bit of a barrel burner. cheers, Jack Edited March 19, 2009 by arveyboy Quote Link to post
