no, but i currently have .223 and .243 for foxes and deer, but i have got hold of another permission that is only cleared for .22lr and .17hmr so have asked for them back...i had them before but i did a seven day variation on both so lost the rimfire and got the centre fires instead...ive been using the shotguns on this new perm but they are too loud and dont have the range of the rimfires either so as i had a renewal looming i thought i would kill 2 birds with one stone...still only 6 guns lol...oh and the dusty old weihrauch springer that hasnt seen the light of day in about 6 years really lol, but thats chained to the side of a cabinet so doesnt really take up any space

because "Women are irrational and without a man in the house to keep an eye on things she couldn't be trusted"

He actually said/wrote that?

I know my old woman is completely irrational, she ran me over once for not going shopping with her but in her defense she is German so I guess it's normal.

Unfortunately yes

Unfortunately yes

I suppose it's easier to write than "I am a misogynist"

bit late, but they are aerated concrete blocks aka celcon aka thermalite (insulating and lighter due to the entrained air)
you can cut them with a woodsaw and screw straight into them
You do get plugs designed for them, look like a plastic twist bit,
I have thermalites in my place, drill the holes smaller than needed and use more fixings...the substrate isn't as strong as regular dense blocks so fixings can rip out if took much load is placed on too few fixings...

it only needs to withstand a few tugs, its sat on top of my gun cabinet for support so weight isnt going to pull down on the fixings. there are 4 bolts in there and all 4 are tight, i drilled 11mm holes for the plugs which had 12mm written on them and hammered them in, took a bit of force to get the bolts in when they got down to a third left but they are in now.

Could have bolted it to the gun cabinet too?

could have, was going to be my last resort if i couldnt get it into the walls...didnt really want to start drilling holes into my cabinet though

I know they dont look much, but believe me these are the very very best for soft "thermalite " style blocks, nothing else will compare, believe me. they will even take a coach screw, fasten a sub plate to the wall if neccasary like 3/4" ply and then screw what you want to the 3/4 ply
