Probably next year as it's proposed.

That’s all the article says Gareth

 pretty sure a few of the shooting organisations will be covering it. Now if only they would see sense and allow 22lr pistols 🤔. 
 

[GarethM]

.22lr pistol would be nice both for Olympic pistol and for animal dispatch.

 

But doubt it'll ever come back.

I'll be putting in for my FAC/SG in the coming months.

 

What sort of shooting are you into? What sort of stuff on the firearms app? Then we can all tell you you've picked the wrong thing.

I like to send the odd warning a shot at a clay, decoying over farmland when i get the chance too.

 

For FAC I'm a probationary member at a rifle club and hoping to get permission over land that i current control rats on.

Rats are great sport. I recently had a fabulous few weeks of 1-8 a night with .22LR and night vision at the allotment. What have you got for air rifles?

On rats, a band we've played with does an excellent song about a vigilante pest controller in Newcastle.

 

Lyrics for anyone who can't understand fast geordie in a thrash punk mix (most people):

 

Under the bridge and I'm scratching an itch with a rascal flea-bitten side hustle/Phosphorous glow and a Nokia phone to take photographs of my Jack Russell/Daughter in tow like Gandalf the Slow, I stalk the streets in my hi-vis jacket/Fresh off the dole, I control pest control, just show me a mole and I'll whack it.

 

Nice to meet you, I'm the rat catcher/Twenty for the first rat, ten for every after.

**************** your social services, just tell me where the ****************ing vermin is.

 

Birds at my feet and I fancy a treat, it's a Donner with chilli and garlic/Can't get the staff or the camera to flash, I exterminate just like a Dalek/**************** Rentokil, I'm no fuss and no frills, and I'm out here making a packet/Fresh off the dole, I control pest control, just show me a mole and I'll whack it.

Just got a Walther Rotex RM8 in .177 at the minute. The farmer has a Pard day/night scope I'll be buying from him.

I’ve got a Pard 008 without rangefinder. Wish it had one. Very hard to judge distance on a flat screen and with too much mag. For rats and rabbits on a .22 anyway. The distance and kill zone size makes it a headfucck with holding. Centrefire at foxing range, it’s fine. If you can see it, just aim on.

I'm gonna have a look at it. If the zoom is too strong it'll probably go on a centerfire.

 

I'll probably get a DNT Zulus 3-12 for the airgun instead.

3x much more reasonable. I'd have got one of those if it was available when I bought the Pard.

All this tech is passing me by. As it will do anyone who doesn't upgrade every six months. There'll be full on Eraser rail gun scopes available by the time I need something new.
