dazza Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I put in for my .22lr at the start of January and am still waiting. I had my FEO visit six weeks ago and have been told not to expect anything until the second week of May. I was told a shotgun takes eight weeks to process and the .22lr anything from twelve to eighteen. Apparently the backlog in Lisnasharragh is taking months to clear.

Jimjim Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I waited 6 months for my shotgun to clear and then a further 12 weeks for the hmr to be added. I have over heard the local dealer saying its much quicker now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazza Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Don't tell them your going to shoot foxes with the .22lr you won't get it. FEO told me that when I had my visit. They say that the the .22lr is not a suitable calibre for foxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 .22 wouldnt stand as a clean kill, thats why i applied for the hmr great for rabbits and suitable for the foxes, your land pretty much as long as its more than 20 acres you shouldnt have a problem.
