[QUOTE="Phil P, post: 9084370, member: 33598"] Ok, so just on with sorting my fac out and looking to get a 17HMR for vermin control (crows, pigeons, rabbits etc). And before anyone starts I don’t need a debate on whether or not I’ll a fac granted or not as already had the office out to check our land which he’s passed up to .243 and it’s the same guy coming back to do my interview in a couple of weeks and he said he can’t see any issues. So anyway, had plenty of air rifles in the past but this will be my first “proper” rifle so looking for recommendations? I know a lot comes down to personal preference but currently have no idea what to look for. Probably going to buy used to save on some of the expense getting set up and don’t see the point in spending a fortune on my first rifle that I may not get on with once in the field. So next question is anything to look out for when buying used? Doing a bit of Googling and CZ seem to get good reviews? Also local gunsmith also has a used Savage Arms 93R17 with scope and mod for pretty reasonable money, worth having a look at? And can we not turn it into a .22 is better than 17HMR etc thread as well please. Thanks [/QUOTE]
