Wot? Too much?? Get a hold of yourself man!
A small selection of my own little collection……
Carry you on!
I have gone from 8 - 2 in under a week, got rid of everything I didn’t need or didn’t shoot.
Multiple rifles for deer, good reasoning ?

**** me, another post telling the massive how many deer you shoot. If the man can get it past licensing, who cares. Nothing to do with me.

You’re a fortunate man, that’s a fine figger of a woman.That’s Mrs FB!
Does she have a broad minded sister?
It’s the same argument “ You only need one fishing rod” there is some truth in it but most of us want to own a few rifles and more than a few fishing rods, takes all sorts

Indeed so though more recently the beard has gone.
Sister you say? This could be your lucky day! Sadly she was tragically widowed a few years back - her late hubbie was found with 18 bullet holes in his back, the coroner (by coincidence her long-standing boyfriend) recorded it as the worst case of suicide he had ever encountered. Oddly he disappeared not long after that……
As a gesture so common amongst SD types I attach a photograph, though in fairness it was taken a few years back just before she
If still interested PM me your telephone number.

It would take a vast amount of beer to adjust my goggles sufficiently to tread that particular path…Odd indeed, though in a certain light………
Of course YMMV.

In my opinion you will struggle to justify obtaining another deer calibre rated rifle. Licensing departments are are becoming more stringent when it comes to good reason. The days of having 5 to 8 deer calibres are going and if you fancy a new calibre you most certainly have to move one on. You're argument re the 7mm will not cut it less recoil high seat etc is not good reason. You have plenty of back up rifles if you're desperate for the 7mm get rid of two others. Imagine if you come up against an feo who is an expirenced deer/vermin controller you're argument will fail. However shy bairns get nowt and your licensing department may not have an issue. I doubt it as there are new guidance in the pipeline there a few recommendations that will also need to be installed into the firearms licensing act. Good luck

Oh, So why didn't you say fright from the start. Take it from someone thats been there and done that already ?
I mean this in the nicest possible way and it has made me chuckle. looking back at your replies it reminds me of aspects of a reformed smoker. Been there done that.
Funny how you settled on a 7x57, as I said that was my initial choice on a 7mm. However as far as I can tell a 7mm08 is the modern equivalent and easier to obtain new.
So I am just possibly later on my journey to discover that ideal cartridge for me and may end up with just 2 and suspect it would be the 6.5 which would go. As for the .243, as long as it lasts but its got a fair shot count now anyway.
Thank you. Exactly the reason for the post.
Thanks all, some good replies that made me laugh especially so after a few beer late last night.
Um, I have 6 Deer conditioned rifles and have just had renewal
Exactly.
I’ve got .25-06, .300wm, .45-70 and 6.5 creed, all deer conditioned.
I’ve also got .222 for deer and fox, .22 hornet for vermin and a couple of .22s also for vermin.
All fully open, all also conditioned for target use as well.
If you want a new rifle then put in the request for it and have the discussion if you need to when it’s raised.
I know a bunch of people with well over 20 rifles, and if you want them and can justify it on application then crack on
Which round are you using in the .270?

Why so surprised?
With a 270 it’s one calibre does all jobs, the need for multiple calibres is completely and utterly irrelevant!
Pick one and buy and one end of subject, you do not need multiple calibres to do one job if you are of the recreational stalker if you are professional/semiprofessional you will need to rifles one as a back up!
Oh, it comes down to is this, I legally can,
so I will practicality in the financial side of things, just go all out of the window!
Personally I do not belong to that, I’ve got loads of guns I’m gonna **** over them regularly club, like I said before everything, I have a practical, nothing more nothing less is there to do a job, not sit there and get looked at.
