Blodnob, you can do anything to any gun just with a simple Fire arms licence……no laws oln silencers either.
the test is F%#^ing easy too.
and they more or less help you through it if you fail.(have to be a downy to fail).

also done abit of shooting with the 6mmbr as lama refrenced.
i dont see why a .308 is needed unless you want small game and large game capabilites.
also the .338 lapua is a great round taking down rabbit sized animals at 800 yards.
your choice

if within 100 metres headshots all round :D.
