What's on Santa's list?

[Tonit]

There's a very pretty Lee-Enfield .303 at my LGS for sale.

I think Santa is due a letter

What's on the cards for everyone else this Christmas?

[Prios]

The miserable bastards never brings me anything

[Beau Nottage]

M2 50 cal to shoot the pricks slay down, take his sack off goodies and mount his reindeer heads.

[Prettybird]

Since I'm probably not on his list anyway, I might as well ask for a Barrett MRAD.

[pucker]

Recent talks of new pistol shooting has been me looking there

[Vati]

Someone was talking about progressive reloading presses earlier which has got me thinking...

[Bugman]

Google Sean Morey "Dear Santa"...very funny........seriously I would like a Henry in .357...do they still make this cal?

[Boatman]

Yes I believe so.

You'd be looking at ordering one in though, I wouldn't expect to just stroll into a store and find one on the shelf.

Savage Model 10/110 BA



Can be had for a bit over $1,700, which puts it in the achievable dream category. Just not likely this Christmas.

I'm hunting large metal gongs at 700+ meters.

[horter]

I'm hunting large metal gongs at 700+ meters.

I guess that counts as 'thick skin' game?

It just takes time.

Once you've got your license you'll forget you ever had to wait.

[Eduardo]

What kind of wait times do you folks have?

What kind of wait times do you folks have?

In Victoria the process for a long arms license is:

1) Apply for safety course - takes 2-4 weeks to get in.
2) Apply for license - Must wait 28 days before license is issued.
3) Apply for first rifle permit - Must wait 28 days before first permit is issued (but can be submitted with license to skip a bit)

After that permits can be done online and take 3-5 days usually for additional rifle permits.

In short though about 8-10 weeks on average to get your first rifle.

A bit longer in other states I believe and those without online permits take about 2 weeks to get them back for additional rifles.

Pistol licensing process in Victoria takes 9+ months.

I applied for my license a week ago, called SAPOL Firearms Branch today and they are currently only processing new applications from mid August...

Sucks to be in SA

[MasterBlaster]

Yes it does...

[fordj]

Any reason given for the delay out of curiosity? Or just working hard to not give people their licenses I guess?
