    I think it is only some counties that ask you to do this now, I did not have to to do this on my previous FAC renewal.

    Hello all, I wonder if any of you have had any experience with this..... I am in the process of renewing my FAC/SGC and as part of the process I have to write to my GP to ask him to send a medical report to Kent Firearms dept. I have written to my GP twice now using the generic letter that is enclosed with my FAC application form. I have no problem paying for the report but when a invoice landed through my letterbox for £128 ! I was shocked to say the least. I presume as soon as I make payment then the medical practice will send my report of to the FAC dept. Wh

    Hi I am thinking about buying either a Kahles Cbx 2 - 12 x 56 or a Swarovski Z4i 2.5 - 10 x 56 scope. I wondered if any one had either of these scopes and their opinions on either one / I have nt had the chance to see either one as yet and i know it could be down to personal preference to which one wins it. I think i am right in saying that they are mad in the same factory as Swarovski but is there much difference in quality or performance or would i be paying that little bit extra for the Swarovski name!

    Evening all ! I have a 17hmr and am looking to replace my scope with a better quality one possibly a kahles if schmidt. I do a lot of lamping so i want something that sucks as much light in as possible so a 50 or 56 scope. My question is should i go for a variable scope or a fixed ? i have always have variable in the past just curious to what you guys think or can suggest. Many thanks, Nick

    Thanks Tegater, Thats interesting what you said, what i dont understand is why removing the moderator effects the rounds zero as the round has no contact with the moderator !

    Hi All. I have a 17hmr, last night i turned up at the farm where i shoot and saw a Rabbit as soon as i arrived, i quickly loaded my gun , I did not bother to fit the moderator due to time and i was nt shooting and i did nt intend to shoot in that pert of the farm so was not worried about noise. I took aim and pulled the trigger but just missed the rabbit, I thought this may be due to excess oil in the barrel from cleaning. My friend tells me its because i did not have the moderator fitted to the gun,( my rifle was zeroed with moderator fitted) my question is does a moderator e

    My FAO didnt like the fact that I wanted to store 1000 rounds so he let me store 750 and buy 500.

    I used to have a ASE Utra on my HMR, great silencer very quiet, a pain to clean and heavy but very robust. I exchanged the ASE utra for a wildcat whisper about £120 which is a a very similar design to the DM80 an over the barrel design light weight and very easy to clean. To conclude, very pleased with the whisper

    Ive got a Sako quad thats fantastic its accuracy is outstanding, more expensive than a CZ but i preferred its build. But CZ are great guns pick up as many guns as possible in shop and get the one that feels right for you its personal preference. Ive got a bushnell 4200 scope fitted, sportsman gun centre were doing some great deals on Bushnell scopes. Good luck

    Just me shooting and the neighbor can not see us due to her property being situated in a very large garden and being surrounded by a partly walled garden and a very dence hedge
  21. niffkin
    Its a very dence hedge , the house actually sits with in a partly walled garden as well as being surrounded by a lot of land away from where i am shooting . I am using ballistic tips. I normally shoot the rabbit from a different direction but due to the wind direction changing i had to approach the rabbits from a different direction. I am always very careful where i shoot , hence why i like shooting from a landrover because the increased elevation of shooting allows me to shoot into the ground. In future i will go back to shooting the rabbits from the original direction. Thankyou to

    Hello All Has any one ever experienced richochets with a 17HMR ? I ask because i do a lot of lamping standing on the back of a landrover pickup, there fore i am shooting downwards in to the ground. I am using Hornady 17gr vmax ammo. I shoot on a farmers land and his neighbours are complaining that the rounds are going through there hedge and across there property. I have never had richochets before but the neighbour says is has happened a lot. Could this be because of the ground being so hard due to lack of rain ? I would love to hear your thoughts. Nick

    Your right colster, the gun shop took it off my hands. The ASE Utra Moderator was very good and to be honest probably just as quiet as the wild cat. I think most people are obsessed with trying to find the most quiet moderator as possible but im sure you have all shot rabbits one after the other which were in close together.

    Hello All Just thought i would let you know i have now put in for a one for one variation for a new moderator. I had a ASE utra and i now have bought a wildcat whisper. Very pleased with the wild cat, because its an over the barrel design it makes my rifle a little easier to shoot from a vehicle as it is not as long as the ASE. Its lighter very easy to strip downto clean, very well engineered. And as quiet as the ASE. Happy Shooting Niffkin
