    Just to be picky, argumentative and splitting hairs (tounge in cheek!). I had a Tikka T3 Varmint in .223, I now have a Remington 700 VL SS also in .223. Blindfolded I could outshoot that Tikka with this Remington General statements are always targets Now, for the proper reply Stringer, I can't really see you going wrong with any of those three brands of rifles. If you get a Remmy, stick a Jewell trigger in it Much better than any factory trigger. Stick a good scope on top using good mounts. Run it in properly (there is debate on that, some do some don't, at the end of the day t

    I have been considering my options since I applied for my FAC a couple of weeks ago and have narrowed my choice down to either Tikka T3, Rem. 700 or the above mentioned Sako 85 Hunter. (in.243) My current thought is to go for the Sako but I just wondered if it was really worh the extra cash. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Stephen

    A mate in Kilmarnock has said that he was contacted about a visit around 2 weeks after sending in his forms. I'm also in Kilmarnock and sent my forms off just over a week ago, so hoping they are as quick with me. It wont do any harm to make a call mate. I spoke to Pitt street when filling in the forms and they were very helpful. Let us know how it goes, like wise if I hear anything then I will let you know. Stephen

    If you have a closed FAC then yes you can only shoot where the land has been approved. If you want to shoot somewhere new then you need to contact your Licensing Dept and ask if the land is approved, if yes, great, if not then an FEO will have to inspect and pass the land first. Most land has already been checked but some stil remains. Thanks, So how do you get an open certificate?

    Once you have your FAC can you only shoot on the land named on your application Do the police have to inspect every peice of new land you aquire? I'm in Scotland if it makes a differnce

    Hi Just looking for a little advice. I am thinking of applying for a shotgun and firearms certificate, but 20 odd years ago as a foolish youth I was caught poaching hares with an air rifle (sub 12lb/ft) and was convicted of game without a game licence and tresspass with a fire arm (I think). Duly paid £50 fine and have been a model citizen (well almost, couple of motoring offences) ever since. Gun was not confiscated. I held a shotgun certificate at one time which I think expired before this happened. question - is it worth my while even going through the motions or am I wasti
