Rabbiting

[Scythe13]

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.

pcp or spring pal

Ferrets and nets

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.

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?
