I have .22 air rifle and a few of us go shooting on one of their relatives land, currently not able to use my rifle as i think I've pushed it over the limit threshold. my friends is registered as a firearm as its surpassed the limit.

As for the getting land problem, most farmers will be more than happy to allow you on their land if you say you're only shooting pests and get insurance. There is a rifle association (i forget the name) that you join for 40 quid a year and it provides insurance cover, show the farmer the card and they'll more than likely say yes as it shows you're not a complete pikey and he's going to make some money should anything happen.

I've only recently got into it and its bluddy addictive, not after a shotgun but would like to progress onto a proper rifle in the future. My rifle is kill effective over about 80-90 yards so it packs some punch, upgraded to a 3-9x50AO scope on it which I'm yet waiting to use.
