Kay Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi , i have been given a webley Vulcan , it came with 2 barrells but the 22 one is no good , so it has the 177 on it at the min. What i want to know is 1 is it powerfull enough to take a rabbit out clean 2 should i let a gunsmith look at it to see if its safe 3 if the above are ok what sort of scope does it need Thanks in advance :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 get stuck in Kay. welcome to the forum and ask all the daft questions you can, as this lot will take this **** out of anybody :blink: as said, the .177 is the more acurate barrel, and gives a straight shot. try and do in as much paper as you can, so when you get out there, you know you are going to hit the button :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretman Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) take it to a gun shop and get the power tested .then you need to see wot pellets it likes as all rifles air rifles like a sort of pellet better than another.all the best. i also have a rapid 7 in .177 better than .22s by far.

Kay Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 i thought it was just me being a wench :blink: i will have to get some practice in then as it weights a ton & a wheel barrow to carry the bunnys home in :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
