Cheers don;t know meself why anyone would. asking for trouble if you went out in the field with that gun you are asking for armed response units to to come calling.

Bombadil Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Target shooting, always wanted to own one, decent gun? There are a range of reasons some one may want it, and i see no harm. Provided they are safe and obviously show discretion towards it's assault rifle appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethevanman Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) I would guy one but something more like the walther plinkers, that is made to "look" like a AR15 style platform obviously, even having the same sized magazine area, which from a sistant police scope would look like the real thing If it was a scoped rifle they would think, "ok, maybe this dude in the field is a rabbit shooter?" With this in your and, it will be more like "Armed police!!...stay where you are, but the weapon down"..with about 20 red dots on you and marksmen looking from a distance ..to them it looks just like an AR15, which sadly wasnt all to uncommon amongst terrorist groups such as IRA ect...I tihnk they will go with caution and just go in heavy handed if they saw this I do understand that fast fire plinking is good fun, but I would rather a traditional scopes 10/22, these are generally poorly accurate and very highly priced.

Dr_Scholl Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Looks just like my newest one, except it's a 5.56 instead of a .22. I've got pictures if anyone wants to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webber Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Not my cup of tea. Purchased by wanabe Rambos in my opinion, and asking for an escalated situation in the event that armed response police ever become involved. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 To each their own i suppose.Not my cup of tea because i prefer older military rifles (hence the 76 year old Nagant i own) for target shooting,but i cant see a problem. Wouldnt life be dull if we all liked the same things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers There's a lot of collectors in the UK who also happen to be licence holders. Why would one want a Ferrari when it's just a car like any other in the sense it goes from a-b. In short it's called freedom of choice - one perk of living in a (once) free country. These sort of comments also remind me of the snobbery at (some) clay shoots regarding semis & esp. driven shoots, attire/gun type etc. Again, I stand by my previous comments that a polorized shooting community is a weak shooting community.

JonD Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) Personally I can't see the point. Yes, they are legal if held by FAC holders. The problem I see is that the general public would see it as an assault rifle from what they have seen in films. It's like putting a silly bodykit on a 1 litre Saxo but the general public soon know it's not a race machine when they see it outrun by a moped, however a .22 rimmy dressed as something else they don't have a clue. I don't believe banning anything prevents an issue but being seen in the field with something like that would spook joe public IMO. Jon.

Agreed it's all fur coat & no knickers ( a bit chavvy too imho) but a gun's a gun even if it's painted pink with furry ends. It actally might be a good thing (rambo looking guns) as it could open media debate which could then be used to explain it's only a .22 & that full bore semis were banned after Hungerford etc ect.

Graham M Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Yup!!!!! Lets all make a noise about someone else’s rifles…..and with any luck they will ban them and not ours. Jeeze, it happens every time this sort of **** happens. When Hungerford happened the shotgunners all said that they couldn’t see the need for anyone to own a semi-auto rifle. When Dunblane happened the riflemen said that they couldn’t see the need for anyone to own a handgun, And now this has happened and once again we get those amongst us slagging off a single shot rifle because it looks like something they wouldn’t want to own. When will you lads learn that divide and conquer will always be the way to destroy shooting. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Scholl Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 .22 lr is the way to go if you want to target shoot. It's a lot easier on the wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
