The rifle you are referring to which is shot by David & Bill Richards is the Swing Rifle, the predessesor to the RPA which is now used by a large number if British rifle shooters.

Does anyone know what rifle/action that is? It is featured prominently throughout the video and looks to be the same action every time they show a close-up of it, specifically the one that the host uses to shoot at around 20:30 in and on when the host is shooting in the `laying on his back` position, if you will, lol(IDK what else to call it).

It almost looks like a old-school Barnard but I just cant tell, never seen that particular action before.

So does anyone know what brand/model action that is, on the rifle the host uses(and in many other close-ups in the vid)?

Thanks.
Blake.

Military calibers were not really banned in France: you needed an administrative authorization to get them.
Since september 2013, restrictions remains for the pistol calibers, but all rifle calibers are now treated the same way (except for a handful of rifle calibers like .223, 5,45 and 7,62×39, .50 BMG…). It’s easier. Just took almost 75 years to convince or dear leaders…

weapons and ammo must be registred through all European countries, with some countries like UK banning handguns, other (France and Italy) banning “military calibers” like .308, .223, 9×19, etc.

I think handguns are banned in Scotland. Glad they can still have rifles although I believe the rifles and ammo must be registered.
