    Thanks guys,excuse my ignorance roughcoat can you explain why .22 for rabbits and not .17hmr?

    So,if I apply for FAC air for rabbits, .17hmr for rabbits/foxes do you think it would be granted?

    Sorry 17HMR for fox / rabbits but you might as well have both .22 for rabbits as its a cheap round and there's more left to eat, you'll get both on the first ticket.
    You will probably get the Fac air/17hmr if you applied for it though

    Dead right, I'd put in for the air/.22 and .17 though.

    £50 quid for FAC or SGC, if you apply for both its £60, so worth considering. They run for 5 years at a time.
