highseas Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 ime going for a variation for eather 6mmbr 6mmppc or 6mm*47 depending on what comes up and when i have the funds. i dont whats to ask for say a 6mmbr then have to wait ages for a nice on to come along. so could i just put 6mm centerfire and it will cover me for the lot? i know a guy who had .22 centerfire and that was for 222 223 and 22-250, many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinF Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have heard of this before, but I think it will depend on your local licencing department, call your FEO and ask the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixer1 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 As mentioned i think it depends on the FLD you are covered by, i had the same dilemma with 22WMR and 22LR, although on recieving my cert they are both specified as different (i thought it may just say 22 rimfire or something to that effect) I would discuss it with your FLO but at the end of the day i think it may be down to the firearms dept. regardless of the FLO's recommendations..

njc110381 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I once had a slot for a .300 rifle. That was to allow me to get one of the .300 Magnums. I just sent in a covering note saying why I had asked for the .300 rather than a specific calibre and to call me if they had any questions. They phoned me to clarify and then printed it off. I would say it all comes down to how helpful or unhelpful your force are willing to be. That could vary wildly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weejohn Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I just sent in my variation form asking for a 6mm, 3 days later the new licence arrived back. 6X47 Lapua is the one to go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
