    Would you not think of going back to the 22lr the reason I’m asking is I had a 17hmr when they first arrived on these shores and personally I never liked it my personal various reasons due to Lamping in high winds etc and went back to the 22lr 

    Thought about a 22lr but just fancy a 17HMR this time around

    SH HW66 on your budget.  I have had Sako, Anschutz and others and the build on the HW is the best by some margin, they are superb.

    Do you mean the HW66 is within my budget or not, I'm looking at a used rifle

    I'm looking at buying a 17HMR but I'm just not sure what to go for, I have a budget of about £650 for rifle, scope and mod. 

    In 22LR I had a Sako finnfire Varmint which was great and wish I'd never sold it, the trigger was very nice. 

    I then had a CZ452 in 22LR but found that terrible on the trigger very clunky and apparently it had the trigger kit fitted🤷‍♂️

    Thinking of a tikka TX1 or a weihrauch HW66J

    What would you buy and why with my budget

    hi shawn you are confusing me with this post as you state in your previous posts that you surrendered your fac 12 months ago to lack of use and you are now reapplying for a fac. is it a shotgun you want someone to look after

    Hi

    No it will be my FAC once I get it back if we cant find a property to go straight into, still got my shotgun cert, sorry for the confusion

    The industrial estate is behind, the direction of shot is very safe as its open fields for miles, i am not stupid enough to shoot towards an unsafe, area.

    I think (hope) the concern here was about noise or have I also misunderstood.

    Correct

    I know this has been asked before but I'm really not sure which way to go. 

    One of my farmers has a serious problem with canada geese, and has asked if I can get rid of some of them. 

    I'm re applying for my FAC after 12 months of not shooting but had my ticket for 15 years prior to this 

    The geese will be shot at about 50-70yds away one issue is there is an industrial estate behind where i will be shooting about 150yds away. 

    My question is would i be better with a. 22LR with subs rather than a 17HMR as I pressume this will be noisy but I have never shot a 17HMR, i have owned 2 rimfire 22LR in the past. 

    What would you use. 

    We have tried for 12 months to deter these geese but to no avail so a cull is the only way and if I dont do it the farmer will get someone else to do it. 

    Thanks

     

  17. Where to keep my gun

    My house is going on the market this week and at this time we do not have a property to go to if it sells. 

    We are possibly going to live in our motorhome for a few months so we are in a betrer position as cash buyers once ours sells. 

    My question is where will i keep my rifle, it could be upto 6 months in my motorhome. 

    Would my local gun shop store it for me or could i put it in a friends cabinet with his shotguns. 

    Has anyone on here had this issue and what did you do. 

    Thanks

    Good luck with this. Nobody in their right mind should pass on this private No. You could be a disgruntled boy friend or worse. Ring Staffs firearms dept and ask to speak to her is your right course of action.

    Ive had Mandy's number for years but lost it when i lost my phone, she has been to my house a few times and she gave me her number as my FLO contact, hence why i asked for a PM, I'm not an old boyfriend but thanks for your concerns 

  25. Applying for a firearms ticket 2nd time around

    in General Shooting Matters

    Posted

    Hi All

    I gave up my firearms ticket a couple of years ago but kept my shotgun ticket. I had my firearms for 15 years and had an open ticket. 

    I would now like to re apply for my firearms ticket and wondered if you think i would be granted another open ticket or be restricted to the named farms on my application. 

    Have any of you been in this position and what happened do they take into account any previous certificates held. 

    I never had any issues during the time of me having my ticket and surrendered it due to lack of use. 

    Thanks

    Shawn
