This ^ +1 , meaning Enfield spares previous post . What a lot of UK shooters perceive as stalking rifles , would get you jail time here . Moderators in any form are considered a prohibited device , possessing one will get you jail time . Shooting at night is also a chargeable offence and using NV gear while in pursuit of game is also a criminal act . Perception is the only difference .
What some of you call a proper stalking rifle , moderators , bipod , etc . would be decried as a SNIPER rifle by the anti hunting/ shooting crowd over here . According to them , the mere sight of one will cause hard men to faint and cattle to spontaneously abort . My point being , they don't like guns and they don't like people who do . They're not interested what style of firearm you own , or if it's traditional or not , they want them all gone ! It's quite simple , we all shoot , the more of us the better . When you start feeding each other to the Wolves , we're all done . Stand together or hang alone .

dissapointing comments, if you think that you will be safe in enjoying your type if gun if you allow other types to be vilified and banned then you deserve what will inevitably come to pass as yours are banned too.
i thought most mature shooters had got their heads around that fact after the last 30 years.

I have to agree with Druid
if you don't like other peoples styles of shooting perhaps you should give up your own guns and take up knitting with
blunted knitting needles !!!!!

You can say and blame who you like but the current loony labour have every intention of banning all private ownership of firearms.
I can't tell you right now where you will find this in writing because I'm just off to the pub! But I can assure you it is.

Won't matter to me what his policy is. If he gets in I'm going to join the brain drain and find a country that will be worth running a business in.

Doesn't it worry you that me a gun owner and hunter / target shooter of 30+ years finds people who like Rambo look alike firearms scary?
If I think its an issue, what do you think the anti shooting crowd will make of it?
Its a bit like the anti car campaign with Chelsey Tractors. Gas guzzling monsters right? Except my Sohgun did more MPG than my wifes Saab 93 Turbo and had lower emissions but she never got "have you baught the right car" stickers on her window. Its all in the perceived image.

No. They are just fellow shooters who have a different taste in what they enjoy shooting to that I currently do.

The public are scared of all guns Chasey, there is no need to sacrifice the scary ones to fend off criticism.
that was done in 1988 and 1997 and did not help shooters at all.
this sport is increasingly becoming an old mans pursuit and I can tell you that my boys get far more interested in using something like a military look alike than a wooden stocked blued masterpiece. If that makes them try and appreciate shooting then I don't give a monkeys if it looks scary to the pathetic people who would ban it on looks alone.

Chasey, you are an anti's wet dream. I saw your likes in '87 and '96. Shooters desperate to condemn other disciplines in order to make their own look 'reasonable' to the baying hordes. It was despicable then, and still is now.
Maybe you should take up the knitting as suggested above. The shooting community has enough enemies as it without the likes of you fighting their cause from the inside. We can do without your ilk.

Don't you know a wooden stocked, scope sighted rifle, in the media, is a snipers rifle ? The media have a vocabulary of their own, specifically for firearms, and pandering to it gets you nowhere fast. A 50 year old rusted up webley air pistol, used in a robbery, becomes a deadly 9mm glock or mac ten.

Mmm, not so sure. Post Dunblane the tories were in office, but not in power. Hence the knee-jerk reaction in an attempt to improve their rating.

Yes I know the coment wouldnt win me any love in this crowd but it remains a genuine concern.
It was highlighted when I put a Arc Angel stock on my 10/22 as I am left handed and the pistol grip was easier to use. It probably the only rifel I own which always has the mod attached as well
My daughter whos used to seeing my several other rifles and shot guns, instantly declared it as scary looking.

People whos counter is I should take up knitting should go get a life. If I say I don't like hard core rap music does that meen I should not listen to any music? But its the masognay violence rape and drugs in the content that people like Tipper Goore use as a tool to tar all rap music with the same brush.
Kids are desensatised to it and think we old folk are idiots
In the gun community are desensatised to the effect a supposedly legal fire arm like this:

has on people who see it
I have a Gevarm E1 takedown rifle wit a red dot scope- to the anti gun crew, this would probably mean that I have unfullfilled dreams of becoming an assassin!
I disagree with a lot of things that Chasey posts (sorry Chasey, just a different perspective) but even I have to admit that, very occasionally, he does seem to make sense, even if it is in a convoluted and round-about way!
Perhaps, Chasey, if your rifle were painted pink (Hello Kitty design), your daughter might not find it so frightening, or threatening?
That was not intended as a ****-take; as has previously been mentioned, perception is everything - a biker on a 'Hog' wearing black leather looks threatening, the same biker on the same bike, wearing pink, would not!
I do not own any firearms that look like current military style weapons, but I have, for some time, been thinking about taking up practical rifle and/or shotgun competiton (not because I want to be John Rambo, but it is another challenge), and if (when) I do, then black/military style firearms would obviously be the most practical style to use.

The media has a lot to answer for, re perception. Prior to the handgun ban, the only clips of shooters were of those dressed in army surplus cammo, firing fullbore pistols at military targets. Within minutes of the Commons vote to ban hand guns, the first clip was of a dedicated smallbore target pistol being fired at a normal competition target.
