Doesn't really matter what they choose to believe they "allow". The Police uphold the law, they do not make it! The fact they may not "condition" it on your ticket is neither here nor there. If you shoot a fox with a rimfire rifle it is legal. If they take you to court for shooting a fox with a rimfire (which they won't) they would look pretty stupid ignoring H.O guidelines which all Police forces claim to follow. Proving effective range limits for R/F would be a nightmare for them, otherwise they would stipulate them. I've shot plenty of fox with LR and HMR and if common sense is use

Fair points. However I wouldn't be inclined to admit online taking a shot at those sorts of ranges. My own hunting range limit is 120m anything beyond I try and stalk closer to or await another day.

:hmm: What may be easy for some is impossible for others, don't be too hasty to jump in. My furthest rabbit with a HMR was 258 yards witnessed and confirmed on a range finder, another pal took one at 285 yards. These are one off shots and I would never suggest that was the norm, the circumstances and situation came together to allow these shots. I have taken many a rabbit at 160 yards with my HMR but I would again suggest that if anyone considers they need that distance regularly they should consider something more than a HMR, possibly a .17 or .22 Hornet. Most of my shots are

Actually I don't think they are posted to wind anyone up. People new to these calibres are bound to ask the same questions. Just because you guys are familiar with 17hmr doesn't mean new guys joining and posting questions are, also not everyone wants to read old posts/threads, this is what forums are about...Not being a select clique of posters. If the question bores you don't reply to it. However the forum would soon dry up and become stale.. Cheers

Here you go. This is worth reading through and very good advice is given. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/117636/firearms-security-handbook.pdf

Hitching onto this thread, doe's anyone know if a 10 shot magazine is available for an Anschutz 1517. I cannot find one but wonder if there are any aftermarket versions available? Cheers

Hi, I'm new to the forum. My main interest is air rifle hunting (mainly rats) I have a couple of HW 100's in .22 & .177 an Ultra in .22 and just ordered a FX Verminator with the intention to be able to collapse it down and cycle to my permissions (in the spring) allowing enough shots without needing a pump or bottle for the day/evening. I've lurked from outside the forum for a while and thought it might be fun to join in. Cheers Agent Orange
