haha i think a 410 and 12 bore would do me mate not got much interest in anything more powerfull One question about referees,do they have to be local good guys such as mp's doctors police and stuff? if not i should have 2 straight away otherwise it will be a bit difficult as i havent known any police officer or doctor personally for atleast 2 years lol :/ cheers Brad.
-
okay lads,filled out as much as i can for the time being on my fac application forms,and im going with a coterminous certificate so im also filling out my sgc forms,what would you reccomend i put down on that ? a 410 and 12 guage or is that pushing it ? cheers lads Brad.
-
wow that is some rifle!! how much did that set you back mate? i think a .22lr is my first option ,then once theres some money saved a .243 or .223 cheers for the pic aswell mate, Brad.
-
good job mate,are you planning on selling these ?
-
thanks mate,still keeping my options open at the moment Brad.
-
hi kev is that second hand or new ? cheers mate, Brad.
-
ill pm him now asking what calibres he has on his ticket ,also how much is it to add to one ? cheers mate! Brad.
-
well i think for now the .22lr is the way to go,just to re consider the hornet,hwo much am i looking at all in ? Brad
-
hmm the .22lr is easily affordable ,but i mainly want an fac for fox,which is obviously going to be alot more expensive! is there any alternate calibres for fox ? a little cheaper. ill have to have a think and get some practice with derwin. deffinately want to apply still but maybe re consider my options lol cheers mate
-
yes mate i thought it would be great since theres large banks! let me know when your ready anytime in the next week,i cant do saturday mornings as i work untill 1pm and im clearing the rabbits on an allotment sunday night,But any other time is fine mate! also what price am i looking at for a second hand cz452.22lr and a second hand .223 what .223's would you reccomend?? im hoping to spend as little as possible! lol all help is appreciated as always! cheers lads, Brad.
-
no worries sniper mate!! id rather u bring up all the dodgy bits now rather than later!! i think that would be an excellent combo a .22lr and .223 im seriously excited now lmfao Brad.
-
THAT IS EXCELLENT MATE!! haha i didnt even know there was anyone else shooting up there,is the land declared? or just okay because of your fac? as you say! cant wait to get up there soon! let me know pal ! Brad.
-
hi kev i was actually wondering the same thing about a CF as my first fac rifle! but im hoping a few months practice and a good referance from derboy will edge it in my favour! after all they can only say no!. on my application im thinking off applying for a .22lr a .22 hornet or possibly a .223 Brad
-
you are infact correct mate, i will not be able to purchase my own guns or ammo untill the age of 18. i was going to get my dad to apply then me also but since he doesnt do much shooting anymore i really dont see much point . The only idea i have is derboy ''buying'' my rifle and ammo for me,im sure you know what i mean haha Brad.
-
i forgot about those photos lol ,just had a look now and wow if i ever get a bag a quater the size of that ill be a happy lad!! and thanks so much for offering to let me come with you,when are you likely to be out next ? Also im thinking of a .22 hornet or .223 ??? as said it will take fox out to around 100 yards ,and then maybe i could apply for a .243 or similar when i do my dsc1 and 2 ?? and yes haha the land is hilly its up through the american gardens at the top of penygarn,since my mum used to keep horses there and is good mates with the farmer and his wife,ill get her to ask if we
-
hi deker,as you mentioned another option is to apply for a .22hornet . would this be an easy enough firearm to apply for ? along with maybe a .223 or .243 ?? cheers mate Brad.
-
thanks for the advice all ,it is seriously helping me and im no end grateful! Its a fair wack to take in ( i only learned the majority of calibers yesterday lol) okay so at the moment im thinking of applying for a .22lr for rabbit and general vermin control ,and also a .223 but have a work with the FEO on the interview to see if he would grant a .243 . Do you think if derboy was kind enough..it would be a good idea for him to come with me saying the experience ive had etc. letting the FEO know that im safe handling rimmys along with centre fires . Sorry if it sounds cheeky derboy,but i wo
-
will do as u say pal, about having a shat with the FLO do i chat with them once ive applied for my fac or can i give them a ring and have a word with them,id just like to clear a few things up as it generally changes with the area as you know. but i would like something that is deffinately based on foxing as i will stick to my s410 for most of the rabbits pigeons and crows etc. .I would love to apply for an open fac! that would be bloody fantastic haha but i dont think its going to happen only time will tell thoug cheers bud Brad.
-
Thank you for the cracking advice mate,i was thinking about going for a .243 but i heared that the FEO'S arent the most possitive about one of these for a first firearm so i thought the .22lr would be a good starter firearm. Im confusing myself about what i want it for at the moment mate haha.i have my s410 for bunnys etc and i really do love the gun. But i do want to get into fox hunting and eventually do my level 1 and 2 in dear stalking which will obviously require a suitable gun such as a .243 . But as you say a CF is more suited to fox shooting but these arent the norm for a first time f

hi lads im hopefully applying for my fac this year probably towards the end of the year ,and hopefully getting out with derboy soon enough to have a shoot of his remington .204 and a few of his other guns.Im just trying to learn as much as i can at the moment so forgive me if i come accross and a noob lol. Im thinking of going for a .22lr for my first rifle as ive been reccomended one for my first firearms rifle. What are your views of the CZ 452 .22lr ? would this be a good rifle for my needs ? Im mainly wanting to do fox stalking along with rabbits and possibly some crows etc. all your

isnt it just mate, its ridiculous here. I was going to say sod it a bit of wind wont hurt but i went outside and there was no way id have got an accurate zero so lets hope it dies down for tomorow! Brad.

3 years ago when i was 12 i went to buy my first pcp,i tried the AAs410 carbine and hw100kt both .22 along with a bsa a few other guns in the end i opted for the s410k mainly because of the light weight and i prefered the bolt action to the lever,i also got a cracking deal,the gun was brand new with hawke 3-9x40 diving bottle 2 tins of pellets gun case silencer and a few other bits all for £570 i think it was.But i must say! im quite tempted to save for a .177 and i think i would go for a hw100 possibly the kt. I would say ,put 20 pound away each week and you will soon have one along with a
