    Better glass and light gathering most certainly, it'll look a lot clearer through it on the lamp.

    Sounds like you're answering your own question there Geoff

    Have used one before now, Personally, I like the calibre. Good heavy heads available for it. If I were to have another stalking rifle, it would be a "Swede"

    Any photos of ones you've shot with a few calibres? Be interesting to see.

    We are, HMR is a cartridge not a calibre

    I've never known a calibre cause so many threads, questions, concerns, dangers, delight and controversy all at the same time. Mine worked fine, I just didn't use it with the reloads for the centrefire being cheaper to shoot than it was, mine was a bit ammo fussy, it much preferred Winchester to anything else.

    A Browning A or X bolt or a Tikka T3 are the only guns really to consider in that bracket. I like the Tikka personally, but you need to go and fondle a few in a shop and see what you think.

    With all the cuts to police staff around the country over the last five years and Theresa May's intention to cut that further, there are a lot of new FEO's around the country who are not as clued up as those stalwarts, many of whom have taken voluntary redundancy or retired while they can. Midge is absolutely correct in that if your certificate states "on land deemed suitable by the Chief Officer of police for the area" or words to that effect, then providing you are 100% sure that the land is passed for the calibre of weapon you possess, you can shoot there with the permission of the owne

    No legal requirement for written or verbal permission to shoot for a Shotgun Certificate. Only for a Firearms where it is to be used for land shooting. Email them is probably best.

    And obviously you will be the only one with access to any of the firearms held, no one else will know where your keys are apart from you.

    I dare say the original question has long been answered and before long this thread will be a dictionary, I think we can leave it there

    They're a grey area as normal, The so called "Estate condition" allows anyone over the age of 17 to borrow a rifle from the occupier of private premises or his servant and use it on that land so long as he complies with the lender's certificate conditions. Normally, this means the user is within sight or earshot of the lender. The difficulty comes with the interpretation of "occupier" which if the original legislation is strictly followed, it strictly means the owner/occupier of that land along with a servant in his employ, such as a gamekeeper. However, the firearms guidance that

    If he gets linked to unlawful behaviour then he could lose his guns, whether they're with him or not.
  22. SportingShooter
    He sounds quite sensible to stay out of it to me.
  23. SportingShooter
    It probably could be fixed but if it's a serious weakness then it will likely be more than the gun is worth.

    When he has his firearms certificate, then your rifles can be entered on there as "shared" guns and then he can use them, unaccompanied with your consent.
