Thanks Harry, I don't intend to shoot in Surrey. I'll figure that out later. Will my son need to get a gun safe? After all I would just be bringing my gun with me and taking it with me when I left the UK. How do people traveling to shooting locations and staying overnight or a few days handle the gun safe issue?

Mike, I know nothing about borrowing a gun in the UK. Is it legal? How many pigeon guides have an extra gun to loan out? That might limit my choices.
