eccles Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Had a mate wanting 10 rabbits this morning to try and put on his menu in his restaurant . Could be a nice few quid in it for me. Went to a mates farm just out of town,was just getting dark when i arrived. Using the FAC Ranger awesome thing. Thought do i take Archer or lamp,thought i'd try the lamp first if spooky use the Archer. Lamped the first small field quite a few rabbits,they took no notice of lamp,iv'e not lamped this farm since last year. This farm is all up and down as most are in this area,you lads on these farms with flat fields have got it easy. Shot these in pics in no time,as there where to many on the farm i whacked i think about 15 more but left them. Could hear a few foxes above the wood other side of the road calling away. Will get to them very soon from the farm up there. Plenty of rabbits left here for another few night,will try the very top next time can drive down a track to it and save my poor OLD legs.

eccles Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Thanks Lads, got to say that the Ranger FAC 40lb using Bisley Mags is awesome. All of the rabbits shot tonight where head shot its a killing machine no doubt . I won't say how far some of them where shot as some lads on here would say to far for a airrifle. I know what this rifle can do and if head shooting you either miss or drop them stone dead. Few lads on here have seen and used my rifle they will confirm its power and accuracy atb Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camokid Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 if you confident terry why not mate...40lb is some pressure mate i bet it knocks them for 6 .. like the pick very old school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccles Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 if you confident terry why not mate...40lb is some pressure mate i bet it knocks them for 6 .. like the pick very old school Thanks Andy every time i leg rabbits and hang them up on gate or fence,i remember the time i had as a young lad going ferreting with my Grand dad. We used to bike it to the farms,ferret outbound hanging the rabbits out to cool and collect the rabbits on way back. Then bike it home no motor in them good old days,all the rabbits on the crossbar and handle bars of the bikes and sell on way home. Great times he was brill at ferreting and trout fishing. Kids these days don't know what they are missing sitting watching tv playing them daft games etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few lads on here have seen and used my rifle they will confirm its power and accuracy atb Terry i agree with the fac air rifle ranges terry,mines doing 32ftlb at the min, ive had it doing 40ftlb,just i didn't get as many shots but like you say on good nights the ranges you can shoot them is un real,its all i use for rabbits theses days as a rim fire to me just wont stop bouncing every were,cheers simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Good bag of bunnies there Terry and they all look in tip top condition to fair play. I got to get myself a variation for a FAC airgun, wished I'd done it last time if I'm honest, but I was put off after reading various posts about how their a waste of money and may as well have a .22 rim will do better but although that's true to a certain degree. An FAC airgun in my opinion would be a good addition into my cabinet, as I could use it where the rimfire would be out of bounds. As for the kids part then I totally agree with you, I spent most of my childhood climbing trees, building camps swimming in the river after building a small dam to make a deep pool. Hay bailing, sheep dipping, fishing and shooting around the local farms with my father. Life was great when I was younger and sometimes I wish could return to them in a way, just a shame you got to get older and work lol. All kids want to do today is a large amount of eff all mostly.

eccles Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Cheers lads . Gar well worth the money them FAC thats all i use now as well. Hmr only comes out now when iv'e got to clear a load off a farm and don't need to pick them up. Then it does get well used great for picking off them long range bunnies. But for just walking around small fields and want some for the pot the FAC are awesome. Well the ranger is anyhow. When Mark Bullet Boy comes up i can't get my ranger off him once he gets his hands on it. atb Bud Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its to my satisfaction then I may get one in FAC but I may go for the MK4, as I really like that gun too. I think the advantages of having an airgun in FAC out weighs the disadvantages of having one, after reading how many people actually use them more then their rim fires nowa days. May be a new year prezzie for myself as I can't see me getting my variation sent off and have it back with in the 5 months left of this year lol. Took 6 months for my last variation to come back, so if I send it now I should get in back mid January next year lol. ATB Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
