  1. "I don't know what experience of Firearms Licensing you have Bob, but generally, the situation you describe is not the case, its far less complex and less stringent than that for an SGC." Probably more than yourself, you have mail.
  2. That may be the case in your area, but not in mine. Applications are checked with the landowner. Nowhere did I say that written permission is needed.
  3. So you have permission to shoot on land, in that case it will be no problem. Your FLO will check with the landowner, and if either of you have any convictions, put them on the form, they have them on your record anyway which they will also check. i have land for my airifle,but i know some farmers that need pigoen shooting and my uncle has a farm nearby, also clay shooting nearby aswell. i thaught for a shotgun you dont need land to get a licence. You don't if you are a member of a clay shooting club. Different Police areas have different ideas, but generally they have the idea t

  5. if u have no convictions you or your dad you have a god given right to own a shot gun. if you have been a good boy ur laffing if you havent forget it. ur wasteing your time.that is the top and bottom of it to be honest.. Afraid not, that used to be the case, but you now have to have a good reason to own a shotgun, the law now says; No certificate shall be granted or renewed if the chief officer of police: a) has reason to believe that the applicant is prohibited by the Act from possessing a shot gun; or is satisfied that the applicant does not have a good reason for possessi
  6. I use army surplus, though post bags ain't bad, some are swearing by SS's new carrier but I don't catch that much to justify one 'The One' and others are right, it's all about where you are, the weather conditions, also what you are running and how expierienced you are. Never be disheartened by listening to folk talk of taking huge bags (even for their average), most are full of shite, you'll learn that just as you'll learn about your ground, the weather, your mutt and all the expierience you'll soak up along with it. The only 'fly' is, no matter how keen you are and will persevere for
  7. It's been quiet around here, (NE Essex) but it has picked up in the past week. Plenty of mallard and teal. Wigeon starting to show over the last couple of days. No more geese on the move than usual, and that's not many! 9 greys and a dozen or so Canada's in the immediate area.
  8. I don't know from which source you get your sales figures on 222, but as an RFD, I have not sold a 222 for 8 years now, I have however sold a large number of 223's. Secondly, I did not say that there was anything wrong with the 222. Thirdly, as I said, there is a far better selection of ammunition for the 223, which in itself is a good reason to buy a 223 rather than a 222. UMC for example list 4 loads for the 223 and none for the 222, Remington list 3 for the 222 and 13 for the 223, Lapua list only one 222, and that's a FMJ. Winchester list 1 for the 222 and 7 for the 223, need I go on?
  9. That's magic, Mushroom, well done, I thought that I had a head for heights, but maybe not......
  10. Buy the guns that you like the look of, my choice would be Ruger or Remington for the c/f's, and a Ruger for the 22r/f, either a 10/22 or an M77/22 depending on whether you require a s/a or b/a, but you will get many suggestions from other people, these two will perform as well as any others,and better than most. The only thing that I would change on your list is to get a 223 rather than 222, performance is slightly better than the 222, but there is a better choice of ammo, and being a military round it's going to be around for a long time to come. The 222, once popular, does not sell very w
  11. I get a message saying; "This video is private".
  12. Averaging 40 to 45 rabbits and 3 foxes per trip at the moment, that should tail off sharply soon, you can't shoot them and still have them on the land! Best on foxes to date was 11 in one night, and five in as many minutes (all cubs) without moving.
