vole Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I know alot of folk are after one gun to do everything but; I am target shooting on a 100 yard range but if I get my FA cert I would like to use my rifle for vermin as well as the range. Quarry would be at up to 120 yards or so,thinking of the size of the fields I go on. I love the club Anschutz bolt action .22rf but would like something with a bit more range in the field. Think WMR would be granted on my application? THanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 There is no need to specify which rimfire you want (apart from calibre). If you apply for .22rf, you can get whatever .22 rimfire you like, .22lr .22short or .22wmr. hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 When your FEO comes round run it by him/her as some constabularies will want to know why you want a 22 magnum , explain it to the FEO and i am sure you will get what you want without getting the firearms department calling you up when you buy a 22 magnum all being it still is a 22 rimfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 .22 WMR was my first... Hi, me too. Might just pay to have a look at page 2 (gen. shoot. matters), half way down, .22lr/.22wmr. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 My initial grant consisted of: .17 HMR .22 LR .22 WMR .223 .243 now exchanged for 6.5x55 .308 All with moderators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 check with your feo first mine told me that although my cert said .22 rimfire, if i wanted a WMR it would have to be stated on the licence, otherwise i would be breaking the law. no reason why not though, some police might be a bit funny about having so many small calibers to kill the same prey, i cant say for sure what your feo will say, but here in norfolk i was told that because i had 22/250 down for fox/muntjac they didn't see the need to grant me [a] a.243 for fox/muntjac, and a .22 WMR for vermin/ fox, as i already have 3x 22lr's and a 17HMR. however, if you are a member of a target club then this opens things up quite a bit as they dont seem to mind what you have as long as its permitted at the club. hope this helps and dont jump on me if its wrong, this is just what i was told ok.

rjimmer Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Check that you will be allowed to shoot match cards with a WMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
