Shooting Rabbits

[454697819]

I have been given a very small permission to rid a neighbor of some rabbits, now the down side is where there situated is very difficult to sneak up on them and when i do fire the 12gauge they scarper for their little lives, and my springer airrifle woudl be more use if i lobbed it at the rabbits, underarm, like a wuss.

 

So I either need (smaller quieter feet)

 

or a pre charged or a hushpower 410

 

I am not so keen on the idea of the air rifle as they are more expensive than a good pre charged air rifle and the filling whilst not mega expensive, the pump is best part of £100 on top of any gun I find.

 

Hushpower, still doesn't have all the stealth of the rifle and will possibly still ruin the meat, but are cheaper and no need to faff with a pump or keep a mahoosive divers bottle in the house.

 

Other pro's and cons appreciated or advice of any nature.

 

many thanks

Sounds like you need either a better springer, a mate with a rimfire or some drop longnets.

If you are not keen on an air rifle and you are worried about meat damage you only have a few choices

 

1; Find the sets and use ferrets (young about so be carefull)

2; Get somebody with open fac to come and sort them for you

3; Pre charged air rifles are not as dear as you may think, I got a full setup Rapid 7 with all the extras divers bottle lightforce 170 scope mounted lamp for £150 keep an eye out bargains are there to be had.

 

No other choice really as anything else will cost alot more , ie apply for fac buy all you kit and gun.

Not realy much help I know but the choice is yours.

Do you know any more Rapids 7's around at £150 quid? PM me very soon and very quietly

Not hot at all still have the recipt for £1175 which he paid for it brand new some years ago, must admit though it was very cheap and thats why I bought it.

 

This is the gun as it came to me.

Youre problem permisson souds like my smallholding. A use a PCP - AA S410. Paid £350 for it - ideal tool for the job. Ultra quiet, drops them easily at 35 yards and the neighbours dont even know I'm shooting.
