JimLondon Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Hello all I have on my FAC .22 and x2 .243 now I'm thinking of getting a second .22 the rifle I'm after is a H&K mp5 purely for having a bit of fun with. Now my question is would I need to specify what I'm after and why or just ask for a 2nd slot for the calibre and then decide what particular rifle to buy. Thanks Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootgun Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 As far as i'm aware, you need to state the caliber and the rifle type (bolt action or semi-auto) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 the rifle I'm after is a H&K mp5 purely for having a bit of fun with. Don't put this as the reason! Just play for a second slot, you will need to justify it, ie dedicated night vision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 As Kyska says, the form does not ask you to put down action type on applications or renewals. You just put down caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just play for a second slot, you will need to justify it, ie dedicated night vision Thanks for the replies. That's what I put down when I asked for 2nd .243 slot, I think my concerns are that I ask for a 2nd .22 slot for NV and then fill it with the H&K. I don't want it to look like I've been devious in my variation request, or am I thinking about it to much (a first for me). Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Depends what your FAC type is, if you are a member at a shooting club you can easily justify a bolt and a semi for fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a club member but do have an open ticket if that makes the slightest difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Target? or live etc Id want it for target,but not really looking to go down the join a club road,I'd not shoot live quarry as I don't want to put a scope on it, I already have a scoped .22 for that.

CharlieT Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yes Can you though. The standard fac field shooting conditions never say target shooting, just zeroing. I would have thought to get target shooting one would need to belong to a club. But as I'm not a target shooter or club member what would I know.

I meant 'yes' as you'd need to be part of a target club Charlie, poor post by me, no clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bang bang birdy Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 No reason not to get another I have two .22rf and can use them both for target shooting at a club and vermin and AOLQ shooting ( cz452 and s&w mp15-22) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
