-Mongrel- Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) I currently have a couple of shotguns and the air rifle in the cabinet, but I'm beginning to get the itch for something new. I don't really need anything else shotgun wise, I feel the 525 is ideal for me on the clays and occasional other use. The Hatsan does me well on the marsh and I can see no reason not to use it on the pigeons and crows and i can't see it being likely that I'll find a better gun than the AirArms for a sub-12 air rifle. So, whats the natural progresion from here? I shoot rabbits on smaller permissions with the air rifle and have recently picked up a decent farm permission with crows and pigeons as well as rats and rabbits, but not fox, we co-exist with a game shoot and they do fox control...so, where do I go from here? I'm thinking FAC for either a .22lR, .17HMR or possibly a FAC S/A shotgun, feel free to throw other options in the mix though!

Will Poon Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 If I had the time and a club closer that does this I would take up PSG shooting looks great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigman Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 410 hushpower for a bit of rabbiting maybe just for a change , depending on you if like to eat the rabbits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) FAC would be the next step logically as you won't be shooting foxes rimfire would be the ticket for longer range rabbits. Sako quad perhaps? Return I am in a similar situation cabinet wise but don't have the time to shoot what I already own...... But doesn't stop me wanting others!

telf Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 22 lr would suit your rabbits out to 100yds + with practice and maybe a pump action shotgun for something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Get a black powder shotgun-when theres not much about they are great fun and so much more hands on than modern guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Mongrel- Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 If I had the time and a club closer that does this I would take up PSG shooting looks great fun It does, but like you I don't have a club close enough. think i'd put in for a 22lr for vermin.have you thought of target shooting? its nice to be able to nip for an hour or so when its not pactical to go out in the field.i shoot air rifle,rifle,pistol and black powder. I do some HFT as well as the hunting, black powder doesn't appeal at the moment although... Side by side? A nice Damascus barelled SxS hammer gun does quite appeal, just not sure when I'd use it!
