Rim Fire Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Am i missing something or is it a FAC rated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Doesn't state FAC needed anywhere. There are some Daystate ads on Gunstar for FAC, but it says on the ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayDT10 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Can't really get what's so wrong. A rabbit at 70 yards with a sub 12ft ain't to unbelievable . As for the pheasant , if it's legally shot so what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Shooting a pheasant with a gun, ain't that what most of us do? Many a keeper asked me thin the cock birds down end of season years ago. Air rifle or lr did smashing jobs of it! No knocked about hens on those shoots! I don't care about the stated distance, just hear say! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willks84 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 If u hit a rabbit at 72 yards in the head with a 12ft lb air rifle it would be stone dead what is the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalmac Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Utt oh, we are in danger of another 'sporting' argument again... I'll do it for you: Game shooter: "Ah, it's not sporting to shoot a pheasant with a air gun or rifle or anything but a shotgun" Airgun Shooter: "But it's humane and better than wounding with your scatter guns yadda yadda" I know this is the sort of argument as this has been done to death a lot on here. A airgun can kill a pheasant, humanely if a head shot, so can a shotgun. Sporting is an opinion and will thus cause big arguments and name calling. As to the 72 yard rabbit - reminds me of the 702 yard hare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own I suppose it's a no no if you don't have permission to do so . It's a shame you feel the need to copy a post and paste it in here and assume the person a nugget on very little information. But As you say , each to their own I suppose.

FalconFN Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) If u hit a rabbit at 72 yards in the head with a 12ft lb air rifle it would be stone dead what is the problem? That's a very big if. It's the hitting it that's exactly the problem especially as the holdover at 72 yards is 18" and if you get the range finding wrong by just 2 yards the poi will shift by nearly 2", not to mention the almost half second flight time and the likelyhood of the rabbit moving. And all that is assuming the guy pulling the trigger has superhuman steadynes and composure and the pellets are unblemished and exactly alike. The chances of a clean kill are not in his (or the rabbit's) favour but chances of maiming are very high. That's the problem.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I think that pheasant committed suicide it has a tywrap around its neck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I think that pheasant committed suicide it has a tywrap around its neck! It saw some coming with a Day state and knew it didn't have a chance, so took the easy way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2000e2000e Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 The to easy to shoot comment seems really odd? What does he want more recoil, an overly complicated cocking system, less range? because he is stated that he is pushing the range of it already! anyways nice gun, hope some one who enjoys how easy it is to shoot with buys it!

tlennox Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 The bit that I like is, 'bit too easy to shoot for me', why doesn't he knock the zero off the scope a bit, numb nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
