What kind out air rifle to hunt dear and rabbits and pidgeons?
Ok well im a beginner, i have shot lots of rabbits with my friends guns and have been tracking deer for several weeks, im wondering what kind of air rifle i should buy which can kill rabbits deer and pidgeons, my spend rate is around £150 any help guys?
Here’s the legal facts – A deer rifle In England & wales needs to produce upwards of 1700 ft/lbs for roe and larger deer species. 1000 ft/lbs for muntjac and chinese water deer.
An air rifle will NOT do the job and would also be illegal.
However your air rifle pushing out 12ft/lbs of energy would be more than suitable for rabbit and pigeon. £150 should get you a half decent secondhand springer.
Ian M you know as much about shooting vermin with airguns as I do about putting a spaceship on the moon!! That’s nothing in case you think I’m paying you a compliment.
