Morning everyone.

Morning everyone, after years of borrowing (obliviously in company of the licence holder) various rifles for stalking and shooting fox and rabbit from my grandfather, father and friends I thought it about time now that I have settled back in the UK after a stint overseas in Germany and Ireland that I get my own firearms and shotgun licence. I am lucky enough to come from a farming background so along with permission to shoot on various land and currently serving in the RAF i did not find it too difficult to gain my licence's. My first buy was a new synthetic Browning T-Bolt 22LR rifle which I am very pleased with and and seems to be highly accurate out to the 100m I set the targets at the other day using the mil dot scope to compensate for the drop over this distance. Now I am on the lookout for a s/h .222 or .223 for fox and roe that are coming in around the farm, (any advice on something in the range of £300-500 would be appreciated).
Rgds, Gordon.

I did Kinloss in '92, also did Bruggen and Aldergrove back in the day too. Ah and hit the sand with wide "green" eyes in 1990!!
