Rabbiting - Scythe13 - 29 November 2012
Hi everyone
I'm starting a new job, so am going to be getting myself a sexy new air-rifle to get me some rabbits.
The Ratcatcher is brilliant and very consistent, but I'm looking for a bit more bang for the buck. Going to go for something to take out some rabbits.
Price range tops out at £350.
Recommendations please.

Ferrets and nets
RE: Rabbiting - Scythe13 - 29 November 2012
I'm looking at CO2.
Don't think spring is quiet enough, and leaving a spring under pressure can damage the spring.
PCP will end up taking ages to pump up, but will give me a crap first shot, and then 10 good shots, until I'm pumping again.
Ferrets stink!!!

Could you not use long nets?
RE: Rabbiting - Highlander - 29 November 2012
Looking forward to the answers here,..I was only talking about it last night,....
What is the highest calibra rifle that we can have without a licence,... is it just the air rifle
If you go for the CO2
Ooops posted too quick
If you go for the CO2 isnt that a canister that will run out quickly?
