  1. Hi, are you still looking? I have a a-tec for 125£
  2. As in what am I shooting and in what conditions? In what order should my priorities be? If I raise the comb my eyeline will be higher and will therefore be able to have higher mounts and in turn can look at maybe a 3-9 x 50
  3. Greetings Just got myself an a-bolt .223 and im now looking for a scope, but because I have to have low mounts I can only fit a x40 scope. Any suggestions? What do people generally have on theirs? Im also on a budget, around 80 to 100 pounds. So second hand might be the way to go. Would I be better off putting a comb raiser on the stock so that I can get a bigger scope? Help me please! Cheers
  4. Dont be silly. The Black Crowes. Ha ha ha
  5. Sorry i know there is a sticky but it's to a different page on BASC The entity to which cheques are payable has changed recently hasnt it? With regards specifically to Norfolk Constabulary, can anyone tell me who I need to make my cheque payable to? Thanks
  6. Congrats! Put in for your FAC now if I was you whilst they are obviously in the middle of a 'quiet' period.....
  7. Update 2, missed a call from the FEO on Sat to say he has my certificate ready to deliver once he has checked my ammo cabinet. Woohoo. He only works weekends though and one day in the week! Doh Hopefully get it tomorrow. Anyway, point is, just over 3 weeks start to finish is pretty impressive work by Norfolk Police, so hats off to them!
  8. Oh and also, I believe these convictions will simply no longer be divulged on CRB checks for job applications. I am unclear as to whether Police will have to wipe records from the Police National Computer all together, as they could quite rightly argue that it is in the public interest that they retain this information, even if its only the Police that have access to it.
  9. My understanding is it is only the records of non serious crimes that will be purged and only in instances where there is only one conviction. Repeat offenders will not benefit from the change in legislation. Further, if you are an individual with one minor conviction that has since become been spent, the sentence you received at the time is unlikely to prohibit you from firearms ownership under the terms of the firearms licensing act, and one would assume enough time would have lapsed for you to demonstrate to the Police that you are rehabilitated and not a danger to the public. An FEO is likely to take a dim view of someone that has decided not to declare their solitary conviction on the basis of "I thought it would have been deleted under the terms of the new legislation" as it hardly smacks of honesty and genuine remorse. In my view you are far more likely to curry favour if you are open and honest with your application. If in the unlikely event an application was declined as a result of a minor spent conviction and that individual had not since come to the notice of the police, i would say they would have pretty good grounds for appeal.
  10. Well I'd say that would be fairly draconian. One may not remember the exact details, particularly if they were 15/20 years ago. Rest assured the police dont just 'take your word for it', they do check the PNC. Really they are looking for honesty here, so long as you answer to the best of your knowledge and provide a covering letter to explain if you dont have all the details/dates etc then that is satisfactory.
  11. Update: They received my app on monday the 13th of May, had a visit from the FEO over the weekend.
  12. Just submitted my FAC application last week. They were really quick with my SGC last year, very efficient 3 week turnaround. Does anyone know what the wait times are like for FAC applications at the moment in our area?
