hey, ive just turned 18 and i really want to start clay shooting or just general target shooting, not live things like rabbits or birds, just targets. I just wondered if anyone knew the way the law works on firearms in the UK, I was looking through the internet and found two possible candidates for my first rifle, the first I know is legal Franchi 712 & 720 Raptor at Impact Guns Home the franchi raptor, not a very powerful shotgun but a perfect clay shooting rifle, the next gun im not so sure about, its a sniper rifle from remington, this would be for target shooting, at long range of course Remington Law Enforcement - Rifles - M24 Sniper Weapon System the M24, is it even possible to buy let alone use a sniper rifle in the UK? If it is perfectly legal to use an M24 on a firearms licence Ill see if i can get one, if its not thats fine ill just purchase the frachi. thanks for reading, i look forward to some educated replies
