Point taken Toby, some of the different laws in different places make me smile. For instance a .22LR is reasonably easy to acquire in the UK for knocking over rabbits but here in Spain with nearly 60% of the land mass still National park or Cotos given over to hunting you can only get a .22 if you are in a shooting club as it is illegal to use them in the country !!! Bear in mind there are no restrictions on numbers of rifles here, I have in my cabinet a .44, a .375 and a .500. I can use the .375 on rabbits but not the .22 ! Apparently they were used in poaching a lot and also back in the 1950´s there were quite a few ricochet accidents so the rimfires were banned in the field, shame. best, Mike
