Quote me a Air Rifle

VeNT · 25 Apr 2006 at 13:29

need an air rifle to take care of some bunnys/magpies that are playing havoc with our garden (we're out in the middle of no-where), I've used air rifles before but not for a while and don't realy want to spend too much as I'm probably not going to use them much after getting rid of the magpies.

so guys, any ideas where to buy/how much to spend?

You're better off contacting a local airgun club and getting them to come do it for you. Nobody would charge for this and they'll be pleased to have somewhere to hunt.

yeah?
I'll have a look but tbh I'd rather be able to do it myself, is there any other stuff you need with the rifle?
like a box to keep it in or somthing?

Can you 99% guarantee to single shot kill these animals?

If not, don't even think about doing it yourself.

tbh, I am planning on doing some target work first to check I can still aim, and yeah used to do shooting with a m8 who owned a farm and I was good, we're not talking long range here or anything.

Plus rabbits being rabbits you can be assured there’ll be more.

I'll lend you my .17HMR....... no, wait a minute, I won't

Feek speaks the truth. If you're not sure of killing them with a single shot, then don't do it.

But they are furry and they hope around

Get a crossbow.

If its still alive it'll be pinned to the floor, not escaping through the undergrowth

You could jury rig up some sort of flame throwing device to your cabbages. Kill them with fire and all that.

Plus you get rabbit kebab for dinner.

Your name is the small rabbit.

Never knew you hated them

But I suppose.

KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Oh no, dirty little buggers the lot of them. I'd rather hve "Flopsy" on my dinner plate than getting on with rabbit-esque shennigans in a field.

you should see what the wee buggers have done to Australia.

Dust off and nuke your entire garden from orbit.

it's the only way to be sure

All the fault of some berk who brought a load of them over so he'd have something to hunt. What a colossal phallus that man was.
