Well the FLO for my area visited this morning, ticked all the boxes and said my FAC should be with me soon.
She has granted me a .243 and 6.5x55 so Im quite happy we did have to compromise on the amount of Ammunition I initially requested with the proviso I give it a year then if needs be apply for a variation.
Now comes the hard part of finding a 6.5x55 rifle, none of my local dealers have any in stock (new or used). One of them informed me that most new guns are heading stateside and very few are coming to the UK.
