chrisp Posted November 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 I'm near duns so the berwick/coldstream one would be local to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 you don't need to join a club, just get out with somebody with rifles to give you a bit of coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp Posted November 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 I can go out lamping with a local keeper but thought it would be better to join a club too ? In time I'd like to get a .303 lee Enfield and not sure is get that calibre for stalking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In time I'd like to get a .303 lee Enfield and not sure is get that calibre for stalking Try Vintage Arms Scotland if you're after a .303. They shoot down in the borders along with other locations. Some people have .303 granted for stalking, not sure how the local FLD feel about it and perhaps unlikely for a first grant but then again it's a case by case basis and depends on the land you have to shoot over etc. If you could say you would be out with the keeper then perhaps they'd like the supervision aspect of that.
