mr williamson Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I already have a sgc and i have a sqeeky clean background. Iv got loads of ground that i already shoot on with plenty of backstops. Would i still have to go through all the rigmorall of getting background checks done and references. Not a problem if i do but just wondering is it any easier when you already have a sgc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 No it isn't. Big sep up as far as the authorities are concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr williamson Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I already have alot of experience but i suppose its the diffetence between shot falling at 80yds and a bullet stoping when it hits something. I can see why it would be different. Im just thinking of getting an fac to get a foxing set up 222 or 223. Just the amount of times ive seen charlie but out of range of the 12bore!!!

Thunderbird Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 If you have land and good reason then go for it. However very much dependant on where you are located, you might well be looking at early spring 2013! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermincinerator Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 You need to show good reason for each rifle you wish to acquire, you will also have to show written permission for at least one named piece of land justify each rifle and obtain an expanding ammunition condition, unless you join a shooting club. The land you name will then have to be checked as to its suitability for the calibres you are asking for, if the FEO says no then you wont get the calibres you want. Ian.
