Thank you for your replies guys.
I think i will look into a .223. I have heard good stories about Remmington 700?
Remington is good, have a look at Howa too, very good value for money and good reports about them

The farm is about 80 acres.
The only reason i mentioned .243 is in case i take up deer stalking in future (e.g. i didnt want to buy a smaller calibre rifle and have to upgrade in a years time).
You will get 243 for fox, I have on mine, but will struggle to get vermin on it too. I am trying with the support of BASC but it is not easy.

Can you get an open licence to shoot anywhere or is it fixed to a specific location if you are a newcomer so to speak?
Your FAC will be closed to start with, normally that is the case for 5 years but you can get it opened up earlier in some cases. All land you shoot will have to be cleared by the firearms people for the calibre you are using.
