steve_b_wales Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) Went out last night to zero the Tikka T3 Lite 308 that I bought last week. Got it 1 inch high at 100 yards after 8 shots. Went looking for a nice Roebuck after that, or even a fox, but nothing On the way back to the car, there was a nice rabbit at approx 80 yards, so I decided to christen the rifle on him/her. A nice shot, virtually no rabbit left. I was pleased but the rabbit was a bit miffed Edited August 12, 2008 by steve_b_wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magman Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 However, conditions for the possession of such firearms should allow the certificate holder to deal with reasonable eventualities, for example pest or game species or the humane destruction of injured animals on the estate. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm missing your point I think, Isn't that why people have firearms? For pest or game species? Mine does have the condition that you refer to; A; The lawful shooting of deer. B; The shooting of vermin or, in connection with the management of any estate, other wildlife. Covers all bases methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob , say that you don't have fox on the ticket for hmr but you come across an injured one, then you are within the law to put it out of his misery .

steve_b_wales Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 That's what I thought about the rabbit. Looked like to me he had an ingrowing toenail. He had a slight limp and was obviously suffering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilv Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 My gun went off accidently officer It was such a tragedy that the poor defenceless rabbit was in the direct line of the flight of the bullet : Ah - it went off accidentally did it laddie. Well then, let me see. That probably means you can't be trusted to have a gun without endangering the public. Hand it over here then like a good lad eh. Evenin' all.
