First time poster, I've been reading over this forum for a long time now and a few months ago I decided I would get my Cat A/B long arm license. After weeks of paperwork and waiting I finally received my license and permit to purchase, I bought my 5 gun safe and later on went and bought my first rifle. I ended up with a Savage Mark II F .22 and am very pleased with my purchase.
Next up is buying a suitable scope, are there any recomendations for the certain magnification brand? I am looking to start hunting for rabbits, as well as spending some time at the range.
I've also convinced a friend to apply for a license, unfortunately he is renting so he will be unable to have a safe at his place, is it legal for him to store his guns in my safe?
Am looking forward to spending many hours lost in a forest struggling to find anything!

Have you been out shooting it yet?
You're ahead of me. How did you find the whole process? Any tips for someone about to start? I'm yet to do my safety course and apply.
How did you fix your safe? To concrete? I want to attach mine to a wooden beam in the roof. Yet to figure out how that will work

I've fired a lot of .308 overseas and was thinking of getting one but .308 is a lot of fire power and I probably will want to fire off 100+ rounds at a time to get practice aiming. I was always going to get a cheap .22 but now I'm thinking I should get a better one and wait on the .308.
