2 x 22LR Okay?

A mate in Shropshire is putting in for his first SGC and Ive suggested he may as well put in for an FAC at the same time as its only a tenner more , Ive advised him to ask for a .22lr as he has suitable land and will therefore not have to join a club , would it be acceptable to ask for 2 x .22LR ? I suggested he should as he can then get a B/A for more accurate shooting and a s/auto for plinking , is this acceptable for a new comer ? could he also add a .17 as they are also a vermin round ?
 
Yes I have 2 x 22LR one semi-auto and one bolt action
i would recommend he asks for a 17 HMR if he has good reason
Thereafter only limitation should be size of gun safe

​PS Add moderators for all rifles as well
 
So two it is then , Ive got 2 x .22lr as well but Ive had an open FAC for donkeys years , I thought they my be funny about a 1st timer wanting two of the same caliber.

Well they can only say 'no'
Best of luck with it
 
west mercia put 2 on my FAC. i asked for a bolt action and a semi auto, they didnt see a problem with it, might not so easy on your first FAC grant through,
but good luck

My shooting buddy has 2x 22lr, a semi auto for night shooting and a bolt for daytime, Gwent had no problems at all with this and he is fairly new to shooting.
 
Thereafter only limitation should be size of gun safe

never understood the gunsafe size restriction
all my guns fit a 3 gun cabinet top to tail

the moderator advice is very wise. whether you use them or not, bank them for later 1for1's
 
Hi johno100,

As per your first post. I would be very wary of stating his good reason as "plinking" for the semi auto.

I know what you mean , better one for N.V and the other for daytime use I guess , what vermin can legally be shot at night ,any?
 
I was given two so I can do a straight swap if I fancy something different without putting in for a variation and paying £
