Chris-NZ Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Looking from afar, the whole system is farcical. All sorts of BS "local discretion" yet out-of-towners can bring their toys along and have a go. Very clever rules. Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spitzer1 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I have two CF rifles for vermin i.e. fox, rabbits (and mice if you can see 'em). Many years ago I made my request on basis of accurate range, not energy. A lot of my land has great topography and bashing rabbits across valleys at 250 - 350 is pretty easy and further on a calm day with 223 rem + handloads. The point being that Plod actually listened to reasoned argument and responded properly. I'm with Sussex who have in the past always seemed reasonable, anyway I have no complaints. On the other hand if we were to discuss Hampshire that would be a long discussion............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spitzer1 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Another thought...My mate and me have been shooting together for 25years and he has my 223 RemVS on his ticket too. My ticket is open with no use conditions. His ticket also open using the same rifle on the same land states 'high seat only' for my 223 but makes no high seat reference to his 243 and 270! I'm Sussex and he's Surrey. There is no logic with the rules, or the inconsistency of interpretation by our various plod forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orka Akinse Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I don't understand, The law clearly states there is no right of appeal to conditions on your FAC imposed by a CC and yet this is BASCs fault How come? I suppose its like getting caught for speeding and blaming the AA or RAC. It requires a change in the law either to get the CC's to agree standardised wording e.g. HOGtFL and apply it or a change in the law relating to the application of conditions by CC's The NGO or anyother organisation cannot help you, they'll take your money but it won't change a thing. Trench dug and the latest kevlar body amour worn tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperman223 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I have my .223 for fox and vermin, and deer where legal My 6x47 lapua for fox and vermin and deer My 6.5x55se for fox and deer, they would not allow me a 6.5 for vermin because its overkill, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 A simple thought experiment : Imagine for a moment that someone in Cheshire that already has larger calibres on ticket applies for a .204 Ruger for vermin and only vermin. Connect the dots.... Cheers, Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This topic has meandered usefully, but keeps wandering into pops at BASC and, under current circumstances, I really think we should draw a line under this resurgence of BASC slagging. There are one or 2 threads where slagging is taking place. Under normal conditions, such chat would be fair enough, but I think the events in Cumbria make it temporarily inappropriate . Not intended to cause anyone any offence. So: "United we stand" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
