    Hi I am only looking at .22LR at the moment although i am also requesting black powder pistol as well, had a go as part of my training - was really good fun!, Our range is cleared for .17 HMR but i think all competitions etc are .22LR. Neil

    Hello there. I've got all the referees sorted out and the application will go in as soon as my membership of the club comes in. I don't intend shooting vermin just yet but am working on getting some land sorted, i will speak to the FEO when he visits, i can always ask for a variation later on if needed but to be honest its not a priority and i cant see myself having the cash for another rifle any time soon! ! Do yourself a favour and have a look at the BASC website and if you intend shooting you should really be a member of a shooting organisation. They have been very helpful to me wh

    I have looked at the 452 and that is what i have been using down at the range and i can shoot decent groups with it. I mainly chose the 455 as it has a TH stock which i liked the feel of when i tried it in the shop. Not being very experienced with rimfires i was thinking my first purchase would be for a new rifle as i don't know thoroughly what i am looking at yet and at least with a new unit you have a measure of safety with the purchase. If it was a shotgun i would be fairly confident in what i was doing! !

    This is what i cant understand why would you want an interchangeable barrel setup? I have shot a few rifles down at the range and ideally i would like an anschutz 1417 unfortunately the budget doesn't allow for that! I still like the CZ tho', i had a good look at one in my local gunshop. So i think i'll go that route and buy a .17HMR if and when i come to need one.

    Hi I am in the process of applying for my FAC. I am intending to start of with target shooting at my club (no land to shoot on). At some later date i may consider shooting rabbits and or foxes. I am looking at what is going to be my first Rimfire purchase, i am seriously considering a CZ 455 TH Lam 20". i have been looking on the Edgar Brothers website and it states that the codes it lists are for the interchangeable barrel version to change the calibre. So from this i would understand that (With a suitable barrel set) i could change the rifle to a .17HMR version? If so, does a

    I agree with all above. It's too easy to get bogged down with which choke is the best. Just learn to put the lead in the right place. I have been shooting English sporting now for 7 years and i find that i don't tend to need much more than 1/2 and 1/4. Learn your sight pictures you need for the setup you have; if you keep swapping and changing it can get confusing. The only time i would change my chokes would be the rare occasions that i shoot skeet then i swap them out for my skeet chokes.

    Hi. Started off with a bit of clay busting and then graduated onto beating on a game shoot (Pheasants) in a village not too far from me and get to shoot on the beaters day!. Got an English Springer Spaniel who occasionally works on the shoot with me. I've just started shooting .22 rimfire and am in the process of getting my FAC.
