Thread: Couple of pics of my rigs

Here are a couple of pics of my rifles, both are factory rifles used for rabbits, foxes and birds. Varminting is big in Ireland, we have ridiculous numbers of bunnies and red fellas that its a sport in itself. I'm saving for a deer rifle and to do some work to both of these (upgrade glass etc) but times are tough and work is non existent! Anyway, I keep them pretty clean, I'm fussy with my gear, both are great shooters for factory rifles!

This is a little CZ style in .22
Hawke eclipse 3-9x40 IR
Parker hale mod
Harris bipod


Remington 700 in .17REM
AGS 6-24x50 IR
Reflex T4 a/r mod
Deben bipod

Cool rifles Marc. Not so sure about the orange paint? Nearly blinded me!

Always good to see rifles being treated well

Nice rigs Marc, see you use 'suppressors' as well....are the firearm laws pretty strict over there as a consequence of 'the troubles'?

as an 'ex pat' from Liverpool, it was impossible to get 'any' firearm when i lived back there in the 70s/80s........

do you shoot on private land?

I was curious about the same question so looked up Irish laws:

Guns in Ireland: Small arms policy, firearm injury and gun law

Got a trade behind you, immigrate to NZ - Christchurch rebuild needs a heap of trades people, already lots coming out from the UK.

Haven't got a trade, went to college studied automobile and transport technology, no bloody work using that!! Pity, I'd come back to nz in a flash!

The gun laws here are a bit obscure, you must have a separate license for each rifle/gun. To have a mod, you must apply, sometimes you may get granted the license for the rifle and not the moderator!!

We also have limits on ammo purchasing I.e for my .17 I can only hold 60 rounds in my possession. The balls about that is you can't buy in bulk, which means I'm paying 30/35/40 euro a box! However the silly thing about it is that you can take your license to a gun store, buy your limit of ammo, go to the next store and do the same!!

Reloading is also banned, this IMO is a direct result of the troubles!

Same as in my home country, South Africa.

Thought four-leaved clovers were lucky, not Shamrock?

The Leprachaun's come out after midnight and put a fourth leaf on all Shamrock's making them just as lucky as Clover but the spell wears off when a non believer approaches.

Greetings and Welcome,
I take it from your opening statement, that the Local M.F.H doesn't hold you in high regard then.

Very tidy weopons Gorman.
