philpot 5,003 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Good on yer Mitch. Don't forget to put on the form that you require sound mods for each gun otherwise you will have to apply for a variation afterwards and the RFD will not be able to supply one until you have it listed on the ticket. Just a thought. Phil Edited March 31, 2017 by philpot 1 Quote Link to post

They are treated the same as any live ammo rifle but you can share a cabinet with a shotgun or two if space allows although many shotgun cabinets are too shallow for the rifle and scope to fit. They fit in both of my cabinets but I would not be able to get the same number of rifles as I can shotguns because of positioning them slightly at an angle.

Rez 4,961 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Obviously lost the nack of fieldcraft... Bloody ticket. v'man You can shoot game at FAC distances anyway... I've regularly seen your post of rabbits out to 60 plus yards. Those little pellets ain't going much further to be honest, even at 25-30 FPE. Unless your wanting it to pick off burkas in town... 2 Quote Link to post
