RicW 67 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Talked to my friend in Brittany tonight, military calibres are still available in France, A lot of things are 'available' in France. The dealers don't care who they sell what to. A friend of mine moved over there 3 years ago and has been offered allsorts. 22rf, .410 with Brenneke slugs, centrefire rifles. No subsonic rf though and no sound moderators. He's had to make use of an 'air rifle' mod. Must be a different part to where you went, because he says there is just nothing on the ground except a few Coypu. Every Sunday morning, the woods are full of guns shooting anything that moves, no matter who owns the land. No bird song, no rabbits, nothing! Bloody French eat songbirds. Ric Quote Link to post

Ric Agreed, I was down in Brittany a year ago and you could hear the rounds hitting the side of the house every now and again, I was very glad it was stone built, down there they have what they call Ragodans, not a coypu but something very close to it, basically 20lb swimming rats, which are real good fun to shoot, I did get a 130lb boar that trip too, only trouble is, it was with the front end of my mates Toyota, oops. must remember to use a gun next time Quote Link to post
