Good shot? Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hi Julian, Only air rifles currently, but saving up and going for my SGC again and possibly FAC air for rabbit and pigeon etc. Hard to stop throwing the air rifle up at passing pigeon when I am out and about.Going to get back into decoying although I enjoy sitting out with the AAS400.

Julian See what RFD offers and I personally would try to sell it on here privately.Don't think that rifle would take long to sell. Good luck.
