    Hi . got a friend thats applying for his fac ..he has got a gun cabinet he wants to fix to the only solid wall inside a fitted wardrope. but if he uses the holes on the back of the cabinet the door would open in a way making it an akward access ... would it be ok to drill new holes into the side of the cabinet and fix it the the wall that way the door would be face on to him giving him better access

    I'm looking for a better scope. at the moment i have got a richter optik 3-9 x 50 ... and when i was zeroing this scope at 100 yards i had to walk all the way to the target to see the grouping . what mag scope would i need to see the grouping from the scope.? would a 4-16 x 50 let me see the grouping or would i need to go for a higher mag of 6 -24 x 50?... atb mark

    yes i agree ...i know the scope aint the best .. but it was a panic buy just to get me up and running ... i am in the middle of saving up for a better one ATB mark

    When i first thought about taking up shooting i didnt think it was going to cost me as much as it has. I thought yeah get my licence and buy a second hand rifle and go out shooting for about £300. but as i got more into reading about shooting i knew it anit as cheap i first expected ... licence fee £50 , brattonsound gun cabinet + a safe from argos for my ammo £143, sako quad rifle £600 , sak sound mod £35 richter optik scope £48 Rifle slip £15 total £891 ... oh and ammo at £11 abox ... but now i know its worth every penny did any body else spend more than they first e
