Hi,
a friend of mine who has been out shooting with me several times and has held his shotgun cert for the past 3 years just applied for his FAC. He has his own land and permission to shoot deer and all vermin. A nice parcel of 300 acres.
He applie for a 22lr, a 222 and a 30-06.
Now he has used my 270 and asked me if I were going for another calibre what would I go for I put my case for a 30-06. So he made up his mind to put in for that so he woud not be changing calibres in the near future.
He just had his vissit and they knocked him back on the 30-06 as my 270 is the lrgest calibre he has fired in private hands (he is ex army).
I have never heard anything so crazy. So if I sell my 270 and wan a 30-06 I have to provide evidence that I have actually fired a 30-06?
If this is the criteria, can somebody with a .50cal let him have a shot out of it, I wwill video him and then that opens a world of possibilities!
