Cornishfowler Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Hello all, Strange request I appreciate that, but you never get without asking. Had a call from a family member where I am heading for the easter break that she has a lot of rabbits in their garden, whilst they live rurally they're in a collection of barn conversation in a walled garden setting so close neighbours but all spread out. While I have a SGC and FAC the correct tool for the job would be an air rifle. If anyone in Hampshire would be open to lending a zero'd Air rifle in return for some beer tokens for between Good Friday and Bank holiday Monday I would be very grateful. It doesn't have to be a fancy pcp but scoped as I would join it with my Pard Nv007 to shoot at night and not disrupt neighbours/ easter fun. I hold SGC/FAC/DSC1 and BASC (not needed for air rifles but shows i'm not a wally). I live in Southampton and they're in the South downs / West Sussex. Happy to collect and talk it through etc. Thank you, Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Hello, That sounds a nice place to visit over Easter, Where on the South Downs ?? , i have a single shot 177 PCP but the scope not ideal for a 007, just a Hawke day scope, no AO or SF unless you use a red lamp/torch, and i live South of Oxford, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 If you have no luck, have a word with your local RFD that you use. I know mine would lend me a secondhand one if they had one in stock. They may charge a small fee depending how well you know them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretlurcher1970 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Would a springer work. How about silenced 410 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning Ferret, I defiantly think a springer would work and probably would be my preference to borrow to keep it simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
