My view is they are different, .260 refers to a specific cartridge whereas 6,5mm is a generic. So if in doubt ask for a 6,5mm/.264"

I have had my interview with the FAO and all seems to have gone ok,he was happy with my choices and ammo quantities, he will submit my application tomorrow for the final yes or no.Fingers crossed should hear in a couple of weeks.

Bloody typical,you wait 8 weeks and just as you are packing the car to go on holiday for two weeks the post man hands you THE envelope :shakeshout: It has finally arrived i am now the proud owner of a virgin FAC and a new SGC.The bad news I'm on holiday for two weeks and when I get back the credit card will have been hammered so I'll have to go a little easy.
I was given all I asked for and 600 rounds of all calibers and 1500 .22rf .I am now on the look out for a couple of left handed rifles.

This may fit the bill?

I have seen it and it is mint.

Well done with the shiny new FAC, I assume cancelling the holiday and buying a rifle would not go down too well?

Good thinking, I was thinking the same

It was my Christmas presy from the wife. She booked it I paid for it wtfwtf and I like my nackers where the are, a rifle can wait two weeks

You've just reminded me of how exciting it was as a newby doing my probationary course.

And it just keeps getting better.

Back home now and like a kid in a candy store, I have found a .22lr target rifle I like the look of and I’ll have a look at it this weekend.

How would I stand?
I asked for my SGC to run along side my FAC, I was phoned and asked to post my old certificate back so my new one could be sent out once it had been received.
That would leave me a shotgun at home but no SGC to cover it if asked to produce one I was also going away and was unsure if a new certificate would arrive before I left.
I put the shotgun in to storage in a local gun shop before posting the certificate and have picked it up again now my new SGC/FAC arrived.
Could this have caused a problem legally had I not stored the gun at the gun shop or make no difference as I had a certificate but not physically able to produce it

After a few days wait i have now bought my first rifle.
In another 12 months time i hope to be able to shoot it as it was designed to shoot ACCURATELY
