There's not a firearms licensing dept in the land that would accept 'vermin control' as a reason for permitting a .243 unless you
classify deer as vermin (causing damage to yours / farmers crop)... then you have a case!
Not doubting a .243 would do the job against 'typical' vermin... bang, and bye bye bunnies (yes, even you Big-Ears standing miles away!).
But unless you lived in the middle of nowhere and were an experienced shot, then no-way are you getting one based on shooting rabbits, rats and
pigeons!
The rules may have changed, so i could be wrong (frequently am!) - but from what I hear, they are tighter than ever before!
