    If you have good reason (i.e they're an issue on your shooting rights) and you have the appropriate calibre then there's little to stop the police in preventing you. The DSC isn't part of legislation to 'qualify' you to hold a larger calibre but the police seem to like mentioning it. I was recommended to do the DSC1 before I shot deer unaccompanied and I had a condition to state I should stalk with an experienced shot but that wasn't well defined and I'd passed by DSC1 on first time of asking with 3 weeks' revision and no previous deer experience at all (neither shot nor simulated stalk).

    Down the range my 10/22 loves RWS Semi-Auto ammo. Haven't had a feed issue with these well lubed rounds. Out in the field the Eley subs seem hard to beat in the Ruger or my CZ455. Must say that the Ruger hasn't been out in a while (since the CZ arrived) and I don't think that will change thanks to the difference in accuracy

    Love my club as it provides a good indoor range, good bunch of people to learn from and access to comps. I do more at my club than I do in the field now and have recently started shooting for the county in LSR comps. Wouldn't be without it.

    Should be a bit of fun for you A .223 should do you for the ranges you're looking at (and far beyond) without denting your pocket on the ammo front. For factory stuff PPU knock out some cheap rounds (Serbian I think) but they may not perform amazingly well in all guns - but plenty cheap enough to test and disregard if they don't do the business on the targets.

    ^ always one knob lurking around the forums Thank you for your valued contribution. Daft prick Just pointing the OP back towards the answers he got the first time he asked that question.

    Brick wall is best but doesn't have to be. Both mine are secured to an internal wall in a relatively newly built place. Out of sight of the common visitor and firmly fixed to the wall (also taking the skirting boards etc into account).

    Delivered fine this morning, looks great and want to thank Dave for such a good transaction

    No worries, I use an air arms S510 (with a PH mod for added weight at the business end). I find it helps with my stability and the noise a little too. Off hand is always a good skill to have in your locker

    Yep, this isn't just restricted to open cert holders. I have AOLQ on my .223 to cover me for Muntjac I might see if on the farm with that one instead of the .243 (Fox was my main reason)

    The ones mentioned on the rangefinder thread you started ten days ago look pretty good.

    For me it's 10 shots scoring 95+ on a PL14 centre target at 20-25 yards. I'd be confident taking shots at this distance all day long with my rifle

    Agree with Walshie here (aside from the last point). I have both of these and they do a good job, a great job even if you get the right ammo. My only gripe is that the 16" barrel on the CZ452 American makes it look and feel like a toy gun in my hands. I'm not a giant (6'3" and 16 stone) but it feels too light and small for me so it gets left behind when I go down to the permission and in fact it's off to a new owner within the next week or so. Good gun, solid and reliable but just ensure you're comfortable with it on all aspects of your shooting.

    I've been a member of a club for four years and have been shooting air and .22lr week in, week out. Haven't got bored yet down to the following: Good bunch of people down there to interact with and try their guns as well Targets have scoring rings, it's just a bit of a competitive nature in me to better my previous scores and look for ways to become more consistent Competitions provide good ways of channeling your focus. They can be shot in your own club and scores tallied by a nominated rep then 'posted' to a central point. I'm in three different leagues at the moment with a mixture of te

    Try The Stalking Directory, that's more of a focused deer stalking forum.

    If it were me, I'd get the dept to add it back on. Nowt worse than a copper asking to see your cert and you handing him a piece of paper with some biro markings to say you're allowed the mod next to the officially typed info from the dept. Shouldn't be an issue as they have it on their computer that you have the authority for it and should have noted that you purchased it as well. Just keeps all the paperwork above board and consistent if you get it corrected at source.

    The trouble is he's made a post using a real name (probably his own) where he states he doesn't have fox or rabbit on his permission. The FEOs use social media and forums like this to check up on applicants (first time and renewals) and this wouldn't help his application at all. OP - join a club, ride out your probation and then request the target shooting. You never know, it could be more fun than you expect.

    You need to tell them that you want another rifle, they don't automatically keep the slot open unfortunately.

    What do you mean 'used to'

    The thing to remember is that for foxing rounds (I'm talking centre fire rounds here - .223 and the like upwards) you're not going to be blatting loads of shots off in one session. A pack of 20 rounds might last you a while unless your place is overrun with foxes. Shotguns are easy enough to loose a few carts off and not think too much of it but you don't do the same thing with a centre fire round. For starters you need to ensure there's enough safety around the shot (clear line of sight and adequate backstop) and then you really need your target to be static. One shot from a big rifl

    I'd think about two different calibres and you'll be able to read many opinions on the best for each job but I went down the popular route of .22lr (for target work and small vermin in the field) and .223 for foxes and longer range target work. You can try to compromise too much by picking one calibre for all your work (that's if Glos will pass it). Ammo cost wise, .22lr from £3.50-£9 a box dependant on brand and I pay about £16-£20 for a box of 20 .223. You can get cheaper and more expensive brands but I stick to what works well in my Ruger and Howa. Have a look here by way o

    You've got to expect a certain amount of banter if you post a £275 pair of trainers for sale on a hunting site where the majority of posts are for camo trousers and fingerless gloves. People come on looking for a bargain against something that they might pick up in the gun shops I get trying to spread the word but you've missed your target market by a country mile by sticking them in here. Stick them on ebay with a 99p start and I'm sure they'll kick on to a modest price.

    I have some Fiocchi subs for my 10/22 and found them a little more noisy than other brands I've tried but the accuracy is still there. I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase them again but happy enough to use the three and a half boxes I have left. As they wouldn't break the bank I'd say a box or two would be worth a try to compare against your regular ammo.

    Nicely done - like the element of surprise too. Just make sure he gives you one of the geese for Christmas

    Knew the DSC1 training would come in handy for something other than the classroom and test! Totally agree, quality calibre. Fay - get cracking on the gun sites and find yourself a good one.
