    Good read as always John... Had a bad one last night, not sure why we even bothered, the fog was bad, as we arrived Mr L set the lamp up just to see how bad it was, and first thing we saw was a fox..lamp with no gun attached ...lucky fox! Didn't see any more all night, actually we couldn't see more than a few yards generally anyway, early night! ATB!!

    Anyone who has AUTHORITY to give you permission. Guys, it isn't rocket science and you are not going to find the answer here, you need to ask the Gamekeeper if he has authority, if not the landowner!

    Just how high do you intend to mount your scope so that you can make full use of any iron sights fitted! Not clever for accuracy from your scope, it should be as close to the barrel as sensibly possible, therefore see through mounts don't work!

    There isn't a great mod for a HMR, or WMR come to that. I have tried loads of mods on them, including centrefire mods. I found the DM80 (older model) to be the quietest...JUST, the trade off was it was the biggest and heaviest! If anyone tells you I have an X, Y or Z mod and it is miles better than a SAK they have a problem with their ears! .....and you are right about the Whisper, complete waste of £125!

    It is of course, also one of the relatively few left handers available to!

    We all have a view but anyone who has any experience knows that is daft, the .22lr is the biggest selling calibre in the world. Any calibre can ricochet and you need to be careful with EVERY shot of every calibre, saying you want a HMR because it does not ricochet as much as .22lr is NOT a valid reason unless you can demonstrate unsafe ground. In simple terms, if you say you want HMR over .22lr to the FEO because it is safer, he will think you are an idiot who reads too many forums! ATB! thought it may not be a valid reason on it's own, surely it won't harm your application

    What's a URN number? Its basically the number the police assistance desk give you when you phone up to tell them you are out lamping. Normally I only do this if I am going to be out and about near a residential area. Thanks. It actually means... Unique Reference Number

    I may not have made myself very clear, I would NOT buy a T3 Lite in the .223 (smaller calibres). It doesn't seem to bad in the bigger calibres, it's all to do with the size of the hole down the barrel and the quantity of metal left, and of course the hollow rear stock, in simple terms the balance is s**t on the smaller calibres.

    .223 T3 Lite Stainless .243 T3 Hunter .308 Remington 700 SPS If I had my time again I would not buy the T3 Lite in .223, it would without doubt be the Hunter or a Remington. We all have a view, that is mine, born out of my experience!

    Just goes to show the worth of CZ/BRNO rimfires, they really are cracking tools for the money!

    You zero at a distance that most suits your land/quarry/ability! With a .223 this would usually be between 100-200 yards for field work! Physically check other distances by shooting after zeroing!

    Baldie Don't want to start this all going again...Oh..and the letter is pretty good by the way, but did anyone ever get to the bottom of this shooting at night business? I've been shooting day and night for 35 or more years and don't know anything about night shooting written permissions! For many, although not all, I do have written permissions, but please don't tell me I've been breaking some night shooting law most of my life. Deker We're all probably guilty of breaking the law - how many of us don't have "Game" specified on our FAC's yet shoot Rabbits at night? The classific

    It's not like me to say CALM DOWN, I'm usually in the thick of debates like this but I rather think this has run it's course, and frankly it's getting boring! ATB!!

    You have to remember they are public servants who are used to working at their own pace in an unpressured and non commercial environment. What makes you think they are in any hurry to do you a favour when they may be out of a job soon or get their pensions reduced to the level of the hard working ordinary man! Perhaps a nice low key phone call to ask if their is anything more you can do to assist them in their arduous task!

    They don't appear to have improved since they were first debated some months back!

    ye first fox with the 12g mate. the reason i gt assy with certain people was because the way the commentd on the post makin out like i was dangerous n stupid with a gun. if the comments tht wer made wernt making out tht i was an unsafe shot then i wudnt off gt assy. i cn accept critism as shud every1 Any chance you could try the spell checker, I was enjoying the dabate but I've got a bit lost now!

    Too true! Wouldnt have gone for the shot myself with a small load like that. Main thing is, is he did 'drop it'. Congrats with the fox, but probably wiser in future to have a bigger load in one of the barrels for an oppurtunist shot like that. Individuals cartridge selection for field work is just that, individual! Personally I have no use for a 28g 7.5 in the field, others do like them, whatever works for you, 30g or 32g 5 is my favoured size for General field work, many will probably argue with that. Whatever, I would favour and even heavier cart for a fox so I would ra
