loopy bunny blaster Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 dont go for the cometa then, you need something as close to 6ft/lb as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanomk3cje Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 dont go for the cometa then, you need something as close to 6ft/lb as possible yeah im thinking of steering toward that one aswell? maybe because it looks alot better made and not cheapie plasticy think i may have been swaying toward the cometa is because it looks so well presented/own box etc.... deano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveieP Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 There's also the Co2 -v- spring powered argument, with the Cometa being the latter. Buying Co2 bulbs on a regular basis may affect your decision if money is tight. I'm going to stick with my Webley Hurricane which is 27 years old & still shoots like new....they don't make 'em like that anymore.

loopy bunny blaster Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 IMHO the only pistols i would reccomend for hunting that we have available in this country would be the weihrauch hw45 and the falcon precharged pistols. and even then nothing bigger than rats.

As a previous owner, definetely the HW45, and the shoulder stock. Its the mutts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Crosman 2240 and it's excellent for whacking rats and plinking. Edited January 28, 2008 by paul65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timelord Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I had a sheridan pro .20 calibre some while back and it was fantastic for rats as well as very accurate, it also worked great for plinking too. I had a laser beam sight on it for shooting rats with ease I know this didn't answer the said question above but this is my experience, and other than the added cost of CO2 capsules that was the only drawback, but no biggie for me as this pistol got me back into the sport and made me buy a Theoben 12/200 in .20Cal..

The Sheridan was not really designed to have a laser on it but it's not impossible either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
