    Cheers Deano, much appreciated! PMC

    How are you getting on with the NM800 Deano? I was looking at one of these with the red LED too. PMC

    Me and my shooting buddy both carry our tickets as a matter of course. I have mine in in a plastic wallet bought from a stationary shop, which conveniently fits in the pocket of my rifle slip. FAC is as pristine as the day it arrived and ready to reassure the uninformed copper that may wish to pull me over PMC

    Great workmanship! As said before, you may find you'll be a bit busier now! PMC

    Have a look on Gun trader, over 450 bolt action 22lr advertised for sale, at various prices to suit any budget: []=Rifle&Filter[NewMechanism][]=Bolt%20Action&Filter[Calibre][]=.22%20LR&perPage=30&sortField=Price&sortOrder=asc"]http://www.guntrader.co.uk/Guns-For-Sale/results.php?fetch=Results&Filter[NewType][]=Rifle&Filter[NewMechanism][]=Bolt%20Action&Filter[Calibre][]=.22%20LR&perPage=30&sortField=Price&sortOrder=asc PMC

    It always pays to make sure you're correct yourself before you correct someone else eh? Fair one, post in in a rush and pay the price!

    Or even a muzzle break?

    Good little read that, and an even better result! PMC

    I remember being told growing up to only shoot rabbits when there was an "R" in the month, that way they have 4 months without shooting to limit the chances of orphaning young. However, as others have stated if the land owner wants them gone gone and you are wanting to keep the permission then you best be providing the service. Sometimes shooting is all about pleasure and other times it's a bit more like a job I suppose. PMC

    Nikon Pro-staff 3-9x50 on my 22lr. I love it, think it's a great scope for not a huge wedge of cash. PMC

    Depends in part as to what calibre you are planning to apply for on your fac. If you're talking something along the lines of a rimfire or maybe a smaller calibre centre fire you shouldn't have too much difficulty. If you're thinking of going for something like a .270 or .308 then they might be less keen . Apologies if that's teaching you to suck eggs! PMC

    I think it's a probationary period set by the shooting club as a prospective member of the club, as opposed to a period of probation following a conviction of some sort. PMC

    Someone I know applied to Devon and Cornwall Police for his coterm FAC/shottie in october last year, waited til January for his visit and then finally got his cert on friday. The whole process took nearly twenty bloody weeks! Apply sooner rather than later as you never know how long the process will be made by your local police. PMC

    Let him see the information on applying in the "firearms certificate" sticky thread at the top of this section. It's got lots of really useful info. PMC

    You don't need to be a member of a club to get your fac mate, they are spinning you a load of crap there. If you have good reason to hold a firearm, which you do as you have pest control on land you have permission to shoot over, then club membership isn't required. Just apply for it bud. PMC

    NIkon Prostaff 3-9x50 on mine. I really like it, good quality at a reasonable cost. PMC

    As already said, the fact they are a teacher is fine but the problem comes if the FEO phones the teacher up and starts to ask questions about you etc. The teacher is in a bit of an awkward spot then, having to explain that they don't really know you very well, and can't give any info on you over the past couple of years.

    I think the 72 hour rule regarding lending applies to shotguns only. S1 firearms are a different thing altogether. There was a thread about the lending of firearms a couple of days ago with much more clued up people than myself answering that particular question. PMC

    Chances are that if you go on to the website of your local constabulary they will have a section on firearms application and it should tell you who to make cheque out too. In fact, if it's nottinghamshire police that is your licencing authority, then according to this page, right at the bottom, cheques are made payable to Nottinghamshire Police Authority: http://www.nottinghamshire.police.uk/uploads/library/11/firearms_advice.pdf Hope that helps mate.

    Definitely no I'm afraid PMC

    The prostaff seems to be sitting around the £175 mark currently so a few quid in the budget to get some decent mounts. Ideal PMC

    Ideal mate! Makes life a lot simpler. Go out and enjoy PMC

    I'm using a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x50 on my Sako .22LR and have to say that I'm really happy with it. I'm sure it would do all you wanted. Good scope for a reasonable price in my opinion. PMC

    It'll cost you £50 to apply for your SGC, or £60 if you go for a coterminous (SGC&FAC combined). This will last for 5 years and will then cost you £40 for SGC renewal or £50 for coterm renewal. Regarding what gun is good and how much, that is almost impossible to answer as it depends on what budget, what your after (over/under, side by side), what you want it for (Clay, rough shooting etc). Also how the gun fits you can make a lot of difference. Go and have a look around the gun shops, a few within a short drive of Plymouth, and have a chat with the people. PMC

    I don't see any issue with having your cabinet installed at your parents providing it's secured correctly and you are the only one with access. The thing to do would be to give your licensing department a ring, easier to find out one way or another direct from the horses mouth! PMC
