Going by the thread about the psni's decision on a .204 for a
dedicated NV rig, it looks like could be difficult, unless you
wanted put your .223 down for target. ???
I've been looking into .204 lately and does look like a sweet
round.

Mate I'm having nightmares with the same issue, They will just
not budge. They said the reason against it is that they will not
agree as as far as they can see it is just for convenience
having a dedicated NV rifle. The best thing and easiest is just
trade in your 223 and get the 204. That said im still fighting
it, Well the BASC is fighting it. Id like to also thank them for
acting in my behalf.

Why would u really need to get. 204 for fox? But to be honest I
do agree with the FAO I don't think it's a good enough reason to
grant u a 2nd cal just because u don't want to change scope or
nv... I think it's a bit nuts the amount of guns some ppl own
lol they don't need them the simply want them and tend to make
reasons up as to why they should have them 😀

Well as i said I think if u have a good valid reason for having
the cals u have then good, (And no offence Geoff mate) but your
post kinda says it all lol u are on hear asking other for a good
reason to put on UR application form as to why U should have it
lol so there for u must not really truely have reason to have
that extra cal of gun mate!!but I honestly think there is no
need for people to have so many cals so close in size etc or the
same size! I no it's easy to want to collect lol I hold mysf
back 😜 I personally don't see why I would need more than
a rabbiting round , a foxing round and a deer round (if I
stalked) and maybe 2 shotguns o/u and semi auto I think that
more than enough for any one individual . I think the psni are
more than flexible and grant alot considering, I mean lets face
it they could say a 17hmr could kill all vermin including fox &
then that would be the only rifle we would all have as its more
than capable , u could only get a centerfire if u hunt big game
goats deer etc!! We get a good range of guns allowed if u have a
good reason,, If u wish to collect guns buy disarmed one.

Your argument isn't very good as its easy to obtain several
shotguns.
People like u who think you don't need or should have the rite
to have several rifles which are similar to do different jobs
dont seem to see the larger picture, how can you have a .22 and
a 17hmr or have a o/u s/s semi pump shotguns.
I doubt if there are many firearm certificate holders who would
agree with what you are saying.
Main land its easy to obtain a .22 .22-250 and a .308 when a 308
will do abetter job of the .22-250.
I know a guy who got one for long range rabbit control but don't
know if he already has a cf.
The reason I want it as I want the 204 for daytime longe range
pest control out to 400yards.
And the .223 will be a dedicated fox rig.

Geoff there is no argument mate,nor do I need or want anyone to
agree, I'm only saying what I think as someone asked. People
like me never said no one has a rite to a fire arm, I said I
think they should have a good valid reason to have it and that
was my point like u said its so easy to have several shotguns,
and I think most people don't really need them, it's want them.
I think having several guns in the same cal PERSONALLY is nuts I
don't think because u want a fancy one to keep really good and
don't want mud on it, then one for rainy days and so on so on.is
a valid reason And I think you have just answered your own
question lol put down on your app what u just said as if u
thought in the first place it was a good enough reason why would
u be asking on hear mate.. This is the point I'm making

Not meaning to be bitchy
I strongly disagree with the moat respect of course, if a gun
has it's purpose yes it may do the job in many different
scenarios, but its better practice to have a certain setup for a
particular role. Thus increasing accuracy increasing humane
kills and proving your a serious shootee who doesn't just have a
aray of guns for the sach of it.
But I cant see how in the governments eye's that having 2 rifles
to a similar calibre is any different than having several
shotguns
If this was different I would be happy enough knowing im omly
alound one cf

I agree with that mate for sure, that's why I got rid of my
rimfire and stepped up with a 223 for a better all round tool
for the job, 😃 but will the FAO really grant another
close cal just because a person (not meaning u) is to lazy to
change scope or nv?? It seems there not granting them for this
reason & I think there correct to do so,, but hey each to there
own lol but like I said mate I think the same for having
several shotguns , I think there reason for them should be good
ones.
