Red face This is my Rifle, this is my gun.....

I've been mulling over purchasing a .223 rifle....

It'll be pricey though for the one I want....I'll be saving up for a good while !!

This is what I'd like:

Anyone got any rifles or the like or any advice they could give me.....

I reckon I'll have to join a gun club to get licensed for a rifle though....
I'd also have to get a feckin' gun cabinet !!!

A friend of mine represents Northern Ireland in the Commonwealth games, hes the only rifleman from here, the rest are all shotty boys.

His club is handguns and rifles only and its about 20 mins drive from my house which is handy enough. I'll need to be a member for 12 months before they'll even consider me for a gun of my own.

You could still join a club though....see if you really like it or not...
Or you could just go down and pay a few quid to have a go for
an hour or two....

Not too bad I suppose...

When I applied for my shotty down here, it too the Super about 3-4 months to
get it sorted. It shoulda been done within a couple of weeks....lazy feckers !!

I can only imagine how long it'd take to get the rifle license....

Is ya licensed on it ???

The ones I'm looking at are .223 (5.56mm NATO) or
.308 (7.62mm)....

.223 will be easier to license...especially seeing as I want to take out a few foxes
that have been killing my fathers chickens back home......
