njc110381 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I finally got around to sorting out all my notes for my FAC to go back in. I've asked for .223 to be added, and have put in my letter requesting an open ticket. The letter from my mentor went with it, explaining that I've reached the point where I no longer need to be accompanied and I am a good judge of ground. After the last experience, I wonder how long it will be until it's back? Hopefully it will be soon, although I've got about 800 rounds in stock just in case Open or not, we'll just have to wait and see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks I have had one thought that's really bugging me. I forgot to write +mod on the .223! I'll phone them Monday and sort it, hopefully a phone call will be enough to ammend the paperwork? Either that or I could use the 6.5x55 mod on it? What are the rules on that?

What are the rules on that? the mod MUST be stated on the rifle in question other wise deep poo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Good luck Nick You should be OK with a phone call amendment to your variation, well mine have been no trouble but as you know they are all different. I share a mod on some of my rifles and my fac is worded accordingly along the lines of "the abc rifle, the def rifle and the xyz rifle together with the reflex c/f sound moderator, the xxx rifle and xxx sound moderator and zzz rifle and zzz sound moderator shall be used etc" Which .223 are you going for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Harry Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 As the others have said Neil the ticket must say that you can use the mod on the gun otherwise you commit an offence. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm not buying one yet, I can't afford to! When I get some money together I've got a few I like. I'm pretty open to ideas, as I've only got info on what I was looking at when I went for my 6.5. I'd like a varmint barrel. I may get a CZ, for the money they're pretty good IMO. I'm certainly happy with my 452 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'll take a look at them. They don't do a 6.5x55, so I haven't got any idea how good they are. I have a feeling a friend of mine has one, I'll ask him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Harry Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 My 14 year old nephew has a Remmington 700 with a heavy barrel and a big mod on the end. It's no louder than the HMR. Shoots tight groups and seems reliable with the right ammo. He got a deal with the gun, scope, mod, sling and case but cant remember how much. From Bredon Hill Neil. Worth a look.
