048.jpg Roger Francis, 3456 x 2304 ORIGINAL ARTICLERimfiremagic.docSLUG: RimfiresHEAD: It’s a kind of magicSTANDFIRST: For one man, the magic of rimfires was so great he renamed his gunshop Rimfire Magic to deal in them. Charlie Jacoby interviews Roger FrancisRoger Francis, as you can see in the picture, has a slight interest in rimfires. That’s a CZ American .22LR isn’t it? With a 16in barrel? And do my eyes deceive me or has someone taken the time to fit it with a Hogue stock an – did I hear you say – tune the trigger? And would that be a Tasco 2.5-10x42mm Varmint scope aboard it? Yes, Roger has more than a slight interest in rimfires.While other kids Roger’s age liked air rifles and many graduated to centrefires, Roger stuck with rimfires for rabbits and, when he was allowed to, handguns for target shooting. For him, rimfires represent everything that stalking-shooting is about. They are light, manoeuvrable, powerful enough to despatch quarry and even objects of beauty and fun.Roger and his wife Sheila started South Yorkshire Shooting Supplies in 1985. They run it from their farmhouse outside Sheffield where it threatens to spill into every room. It was a handgun specialist but the 1997 handgun ban put paid to that and to 85% of the business. With the arrival of the Internet at about that time, Roger didn’t pull the plug, however. He concentrated his attentions on another side of shooting that interested him – rimfires. His shop is now better known all over the world now as Rimfire Magic.Roger decided to start base his rimfire business at first on the Ruger 10/22 as he felt that this little rifle would replace handguns for many shooters. That turned out to be the case. What he didn’t foresee was the interest these rifles would generate with pest control shooters. The business grew at a fast pace and now provides a complete service for pest controllers.Soon, it was not just little rimfires on the shelves. Roger started to sell all kinds of guns, ammunition

The thing about Tom Garner’s job is that it is almost all shooting, as Alistair Macgregor finds outImagine a job where you have to go stalking every morning and where the pressure is on to shoot foxes, rabbits and squirrels when you are not stalking. It’s the perfect job for a Sporting Rifle reader, surely.This is the day to day reality for Tom Garner, Estate Ranger for the Clinton Devon Estates in East Devon, where he is responsible for the management of wild deer, control of vermin and is part-time keeper on the owner’s shoot.It’s a family business with a professional management team running nearly 25,000 acres, most of it around Exmouth and Beer on the East Devon coast. There are home farms in hand, which have just gone organic – but much of the farming is let. There is one shoot with a fulltime keeper on the southern part of the estate and the other shoots on the tenant farms are part-time keepered.Tom took over three years ago from an estate ranger who had been at Clinton Devon Estates for 35 years. Tom’s arrival coincided with the Estate investing in its deer management operations with a purpose built chiller and handling facility, development of direct venison sales and conducted stalking.They are all roe deer here. The ground varies so much on the huge acreage that Tom gets all kinds, from woodland deer, through seaside deer to field deer that hide out in Devon’s’ big hedges. There are hills on the estate with gorse moorland on top and there is seven miles of the River Otter. There are farms on the estate that do livestock and others that specialise in arable.Cull numbers are agreed with the Estates Woodland Manager and are based on regular monitoring of browsing impacts within the Estates woodlands. “I hold the Forestry Commission as the leading light in deer management,” says Tom. “The way we do things here takes a lot fr
