If you were going to go for deer legal and same rifle for fox, you would probably go .243, you would put the sound mod in the firearms you want to be granted section ( .243 sound moderator) as it’s a prohibited item and must be granted along with the rifle, you don’t need to put anything down for NV or scopes

you will put the .22 down as .22 long rifle

Just another note, you would need a digital day/night scope, you can’t shoot deer in the dark

Whats works in Sweden a person over 15y can borrow a rifle/shotgun under supervision of the owner as a part of hunting or education. A child over 9y can borrow a rifle for practice or competition under supervision of a shootingclub.

[Sausagedog 7,381]

Authorised lending and possession of firearms for hunting etc

6.18 Section 11A of the 1968 Act allows a non-certificate holder (‘the borrower’) to borrow and possess a rifle or a shot gun from another person (‘the lender’) on private premises lawfully, only if they meet the following four conditions and if, in the case of a rifle, the borrower is aged 17 or over:

• (i) That the borrowing and possession of the rifle or shot gun are for either hunting animals or shooting game or vermin, and/or for shooting at artificial targets;
• (ii) That the lender must be aged 18 or over, holds a certificate for the borrowed firearm and either has the legal right to allow others to enter the premises for hunting animals or shooting game or vermin, or has written authorisation from such a person to lend the rifle or shot gun on the premises;
• (iii) That the borrower’s possession and use of the rifle or shot gun complies with the conditions placed on the lender’s certificate; and
• (iv) That the lender must be present during the period during which the rifle or shot gun is borrowed. Alternatively, the borrower must be in the presence of another person who is aged 18 or over as described under either subsection 11A(3)(c)(i) or (ii) of the 1968 Act, provided that they hold a certificate in respect of the borrowed rifle or shot gun.
