    Ya its a bit senseless, Here when You 16 and have your gun licence you can buy all the cartradges you want as long as you have a licence, Although our system is F**ked up and a pain in the ass. :sick: Good work getting your gun and the best of luck with it, I got over 130 rabbits in 15 days using 7.5 clay cartradges and my trusty quad, Love shotgun shooting Atb Stephen

    Thats Fare bad, I'm 16 and was able to purchase my own cz452 .17hmr silencer and lot at the local gun shop, put a request in for a licence after 3 1/2 months I got word that Im been granted it so I've to wait maby 2 more weeks and My shiney new .17hmr will be at home in my safe The law in Ireland is if you are 16 you can apply for a firearms licence which includes Shotgun, rifle or air rifle Then when you fill in all the details The cert is sent to Dublin and then back to your local Garda Supt. He/she is the 1 who either grants you the licence or dosent, Simple as , I wish Its painfull

    Hi All, Just to let ye know that Lidl in Ireland are selling A Night Vision monocular on Thursday 22.07.2010, I purchased this monocular 2 years ago and found it very good, It was cheap, light, small enoigh and great for watching the hen pens and hunting at night.It cost €139.99 and I think its well worth it as its alot cheaper than other brands. Tought it might be of interest to some of you I dont know if the same offer is in northern Ireland or Great B. but just google Lidl or www.lidl.ie, www.lidl.co.uk and you will know. All the best Stephen

    I have owned a .22lr for the last 4 years and its a great rifle for day to day shooting and handy for farmers as it kills all there pests, but always laked that extra bit of knock out power, Got a loan of a .22 mag for a week and it was unreal!! Was picking rabbits off at 140+ yards got a fox at about 80yards and it fell flat didnt stir. When wathching the neighbour shooting rabbits with the .22lr sometimes the rabbits dont drop straight away but jump around for a few seconds but with the .22mag When impact the fur the rabbits drop like logs. Dont stir afterwards. Personally I think the

    Nice 1 fair play, Two nights ago on Channel more4 there was a programme called urban fox attack and the pest controller used a .22 with subs to shoot the foxes so it must be fairly good if a licenced pest controller uses 1, mind you it was only at 20-30yards so I would want to take charlie down I have never had a fox come withing range for my .22 so I wouldnt know how they handle the red fella All the best Stephen

    Oh yes pen is 100% Charlie proof it has to be something tiny, like what you say a mink or stoat. All we have left is 4 big hens so I wont need to worry about them for a while. Thanks, Steve

    Ya loads of feathers. still there frame and heads left but all the rest eating, intestines left behind. Cant seem to find and exit entry point. They would have to have got through the inch mesh or climbed it and jumped in What ever it was it was hungry. The hens are about 4 times the size of the ones in the picture above. Stephen
