kev1986 0 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 just been reading through your recent posts mate and i think you may find it hard getting CF at the age of 15 personally i would get either 22lr or .17hmr/.17mach 2 and get out there and put some holes i paper and use up some rounds so whn you apply for CF you can prove you have been putting rounds out and getting experiance cos air rifles is the main starting point for everyone but it is totally different from shooting even 22 rimmy cos they do bounce a lot and after you have heard a few rikky off the ground and hit a few trees in the distance it does open you eyes a bit and make you think , sound like u in good hands with derboy so all the best and get them forms sent off Quote Link to post
lampingboy 214 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 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. Quote Link to post
lampingboy 214 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 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 Quote Link to post

hw100sniper 2 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Brad just make sure Derboy has an open slot for what ever calibre you choose on his ticket so that he can buy you the rifle and then the ammo although im not sure how that would go i.e. if he used an open slot to buy you say a 223 then sold you it ,so effectively didnt have a 223 on his ticket would he still be able to buy ammo? sorry if im being a est mate Quote Link to post
kev1986 0 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 if getting 22lr and .223 i wouldnt bother with 22hornet as 22lr for rabbit etc out to say 75 - yards and .223 for fox Quote Link to post

kev1986 0 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 any cz brno 22lr wil do the job mate ui bought a 22lr brno mod 1 made in 1950s shoots sub 1" @ 50yards no prob cost me £100 and since had barrel cut down to 12" for £60 and fitted silencer for £30 endless fun to shoot mate and will go for ever and ever (touch wood)!!! a 223 is going to be a lot more expensive and would be looking to buy a new rifle if poss with it being a hot round and you want the barrel in as good condition as possible and not soem gun that has had million rounds through it at a range and is on its last legs to get a nice set up for fox you prob looking at £1000 have a look at a tikka t3 around £650 then silencer going to be £200 then scopeand rings on that and ammo to try and see what suits gun best prive ammo only £10 a box of 20 but other stuff about £20 for 20 also going to need cleaning kit mate its all adding up aint it but dnt forget when you apply for fac and have it granted you dont have to go out and buy all the guns you have applied for straight away just buy one and stick with it and gets some rounds down ranges atb kev Quote Link to post
lampingboy 214 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 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 Quote Link to post
kev1986 0 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 the 22 ammo only £4 a box of 50 aswell Quote Link to post
lampingboy 214 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 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 Quote Link to post
hw100sniper 2 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 As Ive hinted at before Brad what open slots have Derboy got then you can worry about what calibres you can choose from unless you pay for any variations to his ticket so he can get the certain calibres Quote Link to post
