VarmLR Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 How's the rifle been living up to expectations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevgun Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I Have just renewed my ticket and put in for 6.5CM i already have.243 and .22.250 the reason i used was on a windy night i wouldn't be sure of a humane kill shot, so i wanted a higher BC bullet and i would want it conditioned for deer, fox etc FEO said no problem and i didn't even get a visit. That was Hampshire firearms dept. Kevgun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertH Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'm in the north New Forest and had, last month, a variation for an additional rifle, admittedly "only" another 22lr back in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Tickle me pink with a rusty nail but my variation only ended up taking 3 or 4 days with Glos and the 6.5 came back with Deer and AOLQ (worded as fox etc etc etc...) as well as all cals opened, so well done to Glos.

RePete Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Yep, that's pretty fast........I applied late Nov 2016 for mine, due in March 2017. It arrived a day before expiry. Sounds like they're getting organised. They're a nice crowd at Winchester. RePete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvet Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Have a look in the home office guidance as the magic words are there....... Section 13.25 Although not set out in legislation, common rifle cartridges considered suitable for the shooting of foxes range from .17 Remington, and .22 Hornet to .22 -250 and .220 Swift, though there is a wide range of suitable similar calibres commercially available. In windy areas, where heavier bullets aid accurate shooting, or if applicants wish to use one rifle for shooting both deer and foxes, they may choose a rifle in 6mm (.243/.244) or 6.5mm (.264) calibre. so there you go....foxes in windy places where heavy bullets aid accurate shooting if they cough then direct them to YouTube where Mark Ripley does a fine job on Fox with a 260 Rem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
