bullet boy Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 What Airgun-have you shot the most vermin with?I would say it would have to be my old Feinwerkbau Sport 127 .22 with a cheap ASI 4x32 scope.I`ve had of squirrels,crows,pigeons galore with this very underated and accurate rifle.I bought it during the Miners Strike back in the mid-eighties-and it still performs well today. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumpersniper Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Definetley a Falcon lighthunter .22 that i bought second hand from gwynedd firearms when i was about 14 and part exed it covered in dints and scratches from almost daily use when i was 18 for a daystate x2, that i now want rid of after applying for an FAC. The new .22lr when it comes will have a hell of a lot of catching up to do to get anywhere close to the Falcon tally! Regreted selling it, and even went back to the shop the following weekend to buy it back for 200 quid that they had it for... but it had gone!! Anyone in north wales bought a tatty looking falcon lighthunter without the quick fill adapter but with a normal round silencer in about 2006??!!

Salop Matt Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Iv always loved the look of the falcon light hunter and as a teen really fancyed having myself one. It never happened though ! For me its the Air Arms S410 carbine in .177. its accounted for so many more chalkups on the tally board than the old .22`s we used to have ( pcp and springer) :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I `m taking my AAS410K every outing from now on-it`s super accurate and i think in time it will beat my tally of my old Feinwerkbau Sport 127! :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuftySnuffer Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 90% of my vermin has been done with my ye olde Webley Tracker .22 I.e. short to medium range Rattus Arboretus and Woodies. A really compact revolutionary side lever which was only really let down by the ropey trigger it had. Got it for £60 at Maskells guns whilst at uni and then got it resprung and tuned at Hopkins in Sandbach. It now resides at my mates house on constant alert for yet another rattus arboretus to cross into his garden. I hope that my two latest weapons can live up the trackers reputation.

blackthorn Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 the memorable ones hw 80k with a ray Neil silencer, 3-9-50 ag scope, took a lot of rabbits with that, should never have sold that fn 19, with 3-9-50 ag scope, 13 rabbits on a walk crawl round a field, sold had to concentrate to hard with this rifle found i used to cant it due to large palm swell. s 300 with 3-9-50 ag scope and by far this was the biggest rabbit taker had the s410 and s400 they were no better than the s300 a little bit more cosmetic sold a s400 a couple of weeks ago and in the afternoon bought another ss shotgun as you can se i did like the ag 3-9-50 shame they went to the wall am thinking of another air rifle, and it will be a hw 80k highly tuned in 177 hopefully ray is still about, i herd he had a gun on show that he made at Weston park a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbonrocket Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Keep up the good shooting on those Rats mate Cheers Bullet boy for the comment. Only problem with an unregulated Ultra is limited shots. Within the next 2 months mine will be regulated and fitted with a Scorpion barrel so I will expect 80+ shots at 11.5 foot pounds consistant. My rat count will go through the roof. The rabbit permission owned will also be very happy. Carbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrier Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 My formal HW97k.177 had the most rabbits thats for sure, Diana 48 .22 also had his number of bunny's. I shot a lot of rats, muskrats and ferals with the BSA Techstar.22 but the absolute rekord holder on flying vermin is the .177 FX Typhoon.

magpie_assassin Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I'd say my AAs410c, i've shot a few air rifles and the AAS410 is cock on for me, i have a mucker who shoots with theoben .177, and at the end of the day its each to their own at the end of the day.
