2 firearms in same calibre

alex90

Buddy of mine is trying to get licenced on k95 in .243, already has his dads old 243 remington 700 i think, and the super wants him to give up the old gun before he'll grant the new licence. Any solutions? South dublin city. Hes 30 years plus with multiple firearms and never had any issues previously. Thanks

What is his reason for a second 243?

It is absolutely doable to licence multiple guns of the same caliber, but you do need a good reason for each.

IE a 308 for F class is an insanely heavy beast and wholly unsuitable for the field, so a second 308 which is suited for hunting would be very doable.

But 2 243s would beg the question(since it is primarily a hunting caliber), what reason would he need both that one could not fulfill?

fox shooting with 58gr Vmax in one rifle. 90+gr weight for deer stalking in the second rifle ? Different zeros ?

I had 2 restricted lever action rifles at the same time. One for open and the other for scoped competitions..

Just sort the reasons you need both firearms.

Iron sight target shooting with thr k95, not a suitable rifle for deer culling in woodland areas, and a rem 700 with scope for hunting, is what hes arguing. There is a precedent clearly from other users

If one is solely licensed for target shooting and the other is solely licensed for hunting, and they are demonstrably not suitable for the others purpose, then I can't see an issue.
