woz 260 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 you will probably need atleast 60 acres and good reason to have each rifle...22lr is a good bunny bashing rifle out to 70 yards...(sure people shoot alot further with them) 22 250 dont quite understand why you would want one on a first grant?? they normally put a condition on your liecence that you are with someone with expiereance with a centre fire rifle..if i were you id have a 223 for fox control..iv had one for years and it drops fox very well out to a good range....22.250 isnt a brilliant round..(sure im going to get stick for this comment) Quote Link to post

Deker 3,491 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 how much land do i need for a 22 250 and a 22? im jus waiting on my form cumming through the door and any help would be great There is no answer specific answer. Every region looks at it differently and area, topography, neighbours etc are all important.... EXTREME Example... 2 Acres in a Deep Valley with high sides all round and no neighbours for miles, you may even get a .5inch at 6000ish ft lb. 100 acres of flat open land completely surrounded by schools, housing estates, playgrounds, etc, fair chance of getting nothing!
