I can't help you with pellets that have already oxidised but I can recommend spraying pellets with lubotechnics lt2 to prevent it. I bought every box of premier.20 that I could find here and on trips to the states going back 15-20 yrs back , they are still as new . One atomiser will do tens of thousands of pellets

James the owner and his wife constantly complained about the rabbits eating his crops and was going to employ a Warrener full time the problem was so bad , would I please go shoot them , when I said yes he asked how much was the rabbit shooting worth to me . Having said that if your struggling for shooting there's certainly pigeons to be shot on px farms, I noticed that he's farming land next to the 603 now

Benjamin maurader but it's going to be double your friends budget, then he's going to have someways of charging it. Unless he's going to be using it in a sub division or city limits a 22 rimfire might be a better idea

Clemfandango are you saying that roost shooting is now illegal?

I rebuilt my 124 a couple of years ago, I used a welsh willy tuning kit . It shoots really well

Ratworks do a postal collection service. I used them during the lockdown to service a r10 they were very professional to deal with , I'd use them again

Chris whistler would be closest to you at swavesey , if it's 100% the reg the guy with the best reputation would be Kev g in Doncaster Rapids unless they've been butchered are so reliable if you have a loss of zero always run them over a chrono first . Join the rapid 7 forum you'll get loads of useful info

Run it over a chrono it sounds as if you've got a seal going or regulator if your rapid has one , shooting low/ increased groups both point to this .

Try Chris whistler he's only at swavesey 07836233501 , he's serviced several theobens for me

As longbower has stated some forces will you'd need to ask yours. If it's was me I'd keep what you have and buy a good used fac or sell what you have and buy one . A local gunshop has a secondhand 410 extra in .22 for I think it was 400-450 with a really nice thumb hole stock and scope , factory set at 28-30 flbs , at least with the extra you'll have a higher shot count.

The pard 007 is a excellent add on ,the on board illumination is good for 100y plus, if your going to be using it on other rifles with more range than your airrifle I'd recommend a Solaris srx this will give you 350 yds plus

Another 79 to add to the total since I last updated, ended with 171 for the year . Just picked up another beat where there's a real squirrel problem 2105

If your going to shoot rabbits beyond 80yds I'd recommend a 22rf and if your seriously going to be shooting at them at 120 yds get a 17 hmr. You'll need perfect conditions and know the range to within a yard or two using a air rifle at these ranges, inside 80 yds a fac air rifle makes perfect sense but if you look at mat dubber struggling at 60-90 yds trying to shoot rabbits with a fx impact in 30 cal in blustery conditions you see what I'm talking about . A cz rf can be picked up for £200-£300 look what a fx airrifle will cost and the rf wii run circles around it

I don't know if any of you guys were shooting on swathed rape/ stubble back in the 1980s -90s but back then turtle doves at times would have outnumbered wood pigeon, things have certainly changed since then . I've seen maybe 5-6 this year . Stock doves were on the quarry list up until the early 1980s I used to get 5p each , I think pigeons were around 30p at the time
