ian_in_the_midlands Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 They would not condition my hmr for fox. Had to get a centrefire. Did have WMR for fox,.but this was 8 years ago and things may have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_in_the_midlands Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 There is your justification for a centrefire then . It will be interesting to see what they think to the .17 Winchester Super Magnum Rimfire if it takes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marki Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Good to hear they have improved. If memory serves me correctly it took around 5-6 months last year from receipt of application to actually getting a SGC. Nice enough FEO though.

team tractor Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Havent improved as good as i thought as its now taken 2weeks for a letter to still not get here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 The wording on your ticket will say something on the lines of... 22rf and 17 hmr shall be used for shooting vermin and for zeroing on land deemed suitable by Chief of police. Fox are classed as vermin, so in court it would not have very strong foundation's. You will have more of a problem if found guilty of causing suffering by using an inadequate caliber.
