If the police think your safe is fine for the shotgun and granted you a licence as long as nothing has changed then they can't chuck their toys out of the pram with any FAC request you make. I picked up a cheap digital safe for my ammo and my gun cabinet isn't the best I've ever seen but to be honest the team seemed fine (didn't actually even bother to view my ammo safe) and I was granted what I'd asked for. Go for it. Quote Link to post

My safe is 47 inch tall will that be tall enought for a rifle with a mod ? Depends on what type you buy. Some are takedown models that will fit into a rucksack, others have 14-22" barrels. I don't store a rifle with a moderator on it anyway but my Ruger 10/22 is shorter than my shotguns and I don't have an issue with it lengthways. Just remember as it will more than likely have a scope you need to be careful that you've got enough room in your cabinet as it will take up more depth than a 12 bore. Quote Link to post

TheRealChuckNorris 42 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Doesn't takinging the mod off alter the zeroing Not on my air rifle and no more than a couple of clicks on my rimfire on my last outing. Always check on paper before doing anything so it's not an issue. Quote Link to post
bullx100% 681 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Ok mate cheers Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I always take the mod off my rimfire when i put it away. Never affected the zero one bit. A standard ruger 10/22 is about 36 or 37 " long - a lot shorter than a shotgun. Quote Link to post
Bunny Boiler 177 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Doesn't takinging the mod off alter the zeroing Only time my zero was off after putting the mod on was when I had pieced the baffles back into the sleeve wrong. It wasn't muffling the sound properly either. Came to the conclusion it was possibly the round hitting the baffles. Sorted it all out, gave it a clean and screwed the mod back on and my zero was perfect again. Quote Link to post
