Recommended Posts


I have a FAC for a.22rf its the only rifle i have on it.But on the conditions at the bottom it says

 

(a) for the lawful shooting of deer

 

So im a bit confused surely i can't(and won't) shoot a deer with a .22 rimfire.

Any help folks cheers :thumbs:

Deffo a misprint, but you coud still use it for humane dispatch.

As I thought, that's the standard condition that's applied to allow you to possess expanding (section 5) ammunition. It's a condition that works around a cockup in the post-Hungerford legislation where expanding ammunition was banned, before they realised that it was illegal to shoot deer with anything other than expanding ammunition.

 

Anyone who has any kind of quarry shooting on their certificate should have that condition to allow them to purchase, hold and use expanding ammunition.

No, it's not an admin cock up. Your .22 will be conditioned for vermin, or some other living creature. That means you will need the authority to purchase section 5 ammunition (expanding). That authority is in a prescribed form, and should ONLY be applied IN TOTALITY. Your firearms licencing department are entirely correct to state it in full. Anything else is incorrect.

I think there is a bit of confusion here ,when you put in for an FAC for target shooting they dont usually let you buy expanding ammo,but when you ask for it ,for hunting etc they allow you to purchase expanding ammo ............Mr tea pot ,the part you are showing on your FAC (A) is for ammo not the rifle .........what does the rest of No5 say ,is there any mention of deer ,if there is its definitely a cock up ,other wise its fine ,i,m sure someone will rip me to pieces if i,m wrong.

      Hello all.?
      Just an update as it has been a while.I have been looking for a subsonic .22LR hollow point that shoots well from a cold clean bore and have recently started using RWS subs which do well, typically from the first shot..I have used a few different brands of subsonic H.P.s and they all group quite well after 5 or so fouling shots, but RWS like the cold clean bore,needless to say I am a happy and for me, decent shooting.?.I have used the RWS before in the old Annie 1416 DG and it was equally consistent in that rifle.
      A couple of typical below all from a cold clean bore..My scope is a Hawke Vantage x2 -x7 32mm A.O. with illuminated reticle which is a great field scope but lacks magnification for target shooting so is sometimes difficult to deduce if a shot has been pulled, but I love the scope.
      Have a good weekend all.?

      Hi all, just an update.I have had this rifle for over a year now and still really like it a lot. I have not modified it in any way and it is as out of the box.
      It is an easy rifle to shoot well with a pretty good trigger (pulling at 2.6 lbs out of the box and very smooth), accurate, lightweight and utterly reliable.
      I now have the benefit of hindsight and  purchasing this rifle was a good decision and I would do so again absolutely.
      I use an inexpensive but very good Hawke Vantage x2-x7 32mm A.O. scope with an illuminated reticle. I sometimes use a SAK moderator on the gun, a very good mod.
      Have a good weekend.?.
