Hi, I'm just wondering whether it would be possible for me to get a target licence for a mauser 98k as a first gun? Thanks SP

Longer answer, probably yes, depending on the details you didn't mention

Well, let's see. Are you a member of the VCRAI or the Midlands? Do you have a gunsafe with a monitored alarm? Roughly where in the country are you? Are you over 18? Have you any form of criminal record or had any kind of run-in with the Gardai in the past? Do you live in a high-crime-rate area? Stuff like that would weigh for or against your application (and some, like the gun safe, would be mandatory).
