    You can have land passed retrospectively, that is shoot it whilst you wait for them to come and look. I would send my cert in to them with a letter requesting it be opened due to the fact you are losing shooting through them not being able to respond to land checks in a reasonable time. Tell them that you are being disadvantaged by having this restriction on your cert and that by opening it, it will not affect public safety.

    The manual for my berretta extreme2 says to use heavy loads to start with, which i did and it now cycles anything although i rarely use 28grm as i am not a clay shooter.

    I got a fac 1 week later with everything i applied for, .22, 17 hmr, .223 and .243 with no conditions apart from being closed. I had it opened for all calibres in less than 12 months and aolq added plus a variation for an additional .204.

    I use the extrema2 with kick off and it is certainly worth having, especially using 31/2" cartridges on the marsh.

    I presume the "buddy" system is a form of mentoring. Some area's try to impose this on you but it is not a lawfull requirement so can be refused, as i did. I don't know what the law is in NI so it may be compulsory, check though before agreeing to restrictive conditions.

    I dropped out of basc and joined sacs instead because of basc's stance on dsc1. It is a self serving organisation and should be made to toe the line by its members.I didn't do dsc1 to get my .243 either by the way.

    Adequate permo is only the start. You need adequate experience and understanding. Its all about proving yourself... My FLO said out of 700+ applications he's only granted one chap a cf first time round and that was because he had done his DSC1 and had 10'000 sapling trees to protect. Told me to put in for a variation for cf and open ticket in a year with as much relavent experience & references as possible to support it. Dunno what policy is exactly? I've always had the impression that it's a subjective matter which each force interprets different depending on local stats

    They cannot deny you a c/fire if you have adequate permision i.e good reason, i would be telling them i wanted one. Don't be fobbed off, it's your right.

    My mate had one of these, lovely looking rifle, unfortunately he couldn't hit a cows arse at 10 yds with it.

    There is a form you can get that requests the plod to send you all they have on record of you, it costs £10. I did this with my son as he had several run ins with them when younger and neither of us could remember what they where or when. Took a couple of weeks to come back with a print out of his misdemeanors which i duly photocopied and submitted with his application. A month later he got his cert, good luck with it.

    I have both A bolt and Tikka T3s and for me T3 is the way to go. I changed the springs in both rifles trigger units and they are both at 1 1/4 lbs.

    Digital n/v is only as good as the camera used and near eye display, for £400 i wouldn't expect a lot. It all depends on what and where you are shooting and of course budget. For add on currently i would be looking at pvs14 or envis both gen 3, but n/v is horses for courses and what suits one may not suit another.

    Thier tubed gear isn't that good and very expensive, there are much better alternatives.

    223 Tikka T3 light, blued barell 1-12" twist and sound moderator, sonic 45 modular. Slight mark on barell where mod has been. Very accurate rifle and benefits from a reworked trigger currently set at 1.25lbs pull. This rifle has had about 350 rounds through it. Rifle and mod + whatever ammo is left £450 will rfd at cost your end.

    It is best if you are reloading for either calibre and if you are it will pay dividends in the results. Takes me very little time to knock 50 rounds up and the saving is good too, although that is not the reason i reload.

    I like the 204 in preference to the 243 because you can actually see what is happening. With my 243 the recoil is such that you lose the sight picture, you know the one, have i hit it or not scenario. I also like the fact it is doing a little in excess of 4,200 fps they aren't as wind affected as you might think. Sure i like my .243 it's good fun i just like the 204 for foxing better.

    I have a .223 and a .243 but to be honest i would much rather shoot fox with my .204. It is flat shooting to 300yds, negligable recoil and you never lose the sight picture. So basicly put the dot on the target squeeze the trigger and see it go down a better fox round than either of the other two calibres. The hornet is also a good little round if you use 35 grn bullets it should do you out to 200 yds with a little hold over.

    I use 1-12" in my Tikka T3 and i shoot 40 grn federal premium for fox and it is a suberb combination.
  21. ianm
    I haven.'t tried Honady 40 grns but i use federal premium 40 grn and they are superb through my Tikka T3 light
  22. ianm
    I use 40grn federal premium and they are superb. I used to use hornady superperformance 53grn but ditched them in favour of the 40grn federals, my rifle is 1-12" twist.

    you wont be buying a pup then Is the correct answer, i wouldn't let anyone near my house that i didn't know really well. I have sold the odd pup in the past from a carpark but to be honest i try to find homes for them beforehand, usually giving them to people i know who will look after them.
