    My post was not about the right to have a certificate but the fact that you do not have the right to own a particular firearm unless you have good reason. For instance, you have 10 acres of flat field surrounded on all sides by houses and you want to clear it of rabbits, you don't have the right to a .308 and the police are not being unreasonable by telling you you should look at something else. I use extremes here but hopefully make my point. I don't doubt that everyone is entitled to posess a FAC unless disqualified, my argument was aimed at what firearms you can posess and not expect

    Excellent on the .22 and adequate on the .17 (there are better for the latter).

    I sort of agree but it's not a case of what you have a right to, but what you require. If you have a genuine reason to own a particular calibre and amount of ammunition you will have no problems. If you just fancy a .223 or whatever because it is cool and you want 3000 rounds for the sake of it (slight poetic license here) then you will have to justify yourself. Oh, and I would suggest that a .308 is more dangerous than an air rifle, back stop or not

    True. We are lucky in N. Yorks, most FAC's are open from the start regardless of how you word your application. Others are not so lucky.

    Wipe it over with an oily rag after every use, job done. If you are out in the rain give it a good going over as the wet will settle inside the stock under the action and barrel. I very rarely clean the barrel, only done it once when accuracy started so go (about 3 years ). Watch out for wax from your bullets gunking up the bolt face and breech as this can lead to poor extraction but is easy to clean off. Just get it set up and zeroed and then get as many rounds down it as you can. Practice makes perfect and is fun too

    Look at the Ase Utra mods. A bit on the upper end of the price scale but some of the best out there.

    You won't go far wrong with that choice mate. I have the Style version but it is practically the same. Accurate no nonsence, reasonably priced tool. Good choice.

    Nice fox John. How long do you tend to wait in one spot before moving on?
