burnleydave Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 can't go wrong with the 410, but I have to say that my new daystate air ranger I picked up on the weekend is the best air rifle I have ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 It might be cheaper but shooting rats around buildings or squirrels in trees with a rimmie might be a bit hairy? Good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masmiffy Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Personally I would go for an old Titan or Falcon in single shot. Mind Falcon are available multi shot! I have had my Titan Manitou for years still shoots as well as ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinbox99 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I went for the s410 carbine. Very light easy to handle rifle. I found the HW100 felt massive, heavy & buky in comparison. Even my rapid 12 is like a tank compared to the s410 carbine. I use mine wandering the fields and have shot more rabbits than I can count with it. Also because its quite a short gun, its ideal to use from inside vehicles. You can pick them up now for £400->£450 mark, and they hold their value incredibly well. I bought mine in about 2009 and even now they are selling for the same price I paid back then. I use a pump to pump up mine, so costs nothing to refill, only takes a few minutes to top up between outings and I get more shots than i`ll ever use on 2 or 3 hunting trips from the cylinder on it. Had rabbits, squirrels, magpies, jackdaws and pigeons all with no problem. Another plus for me, is that the gun is easily rebuild-able, so when it comes to servicing, it only cost you a few rubber seals and 30 minutes of your time.

Just out of interest dose anyone use RF shorts for hunting I do not think that they are much more powerful that a good air rifle and with a silencer there are very quiet.
