bramble 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hi i have not done much air rifle shooting, so my question is which would be best for rabbit shooting. springer or precharged and what make. Ive been asked to clear bunnies from several paddocks, normally i use a 410 or 20g but have been asked not to because of horses, any suggestions would be grateful. also what scope rgds steve.

aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 if its not your first time with a gun then go for PC as they have less recoil and easy to shoot. ion the other hand springersare cheaper and for close to mid range work thwe are fine. its all down tio personal choice. for anything over 25 yards i'd say a PC but if your good shot a springer will be fine. aaron i havge got a springer and its fine Quote Link to post

celticwar 1 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 i would go pcp mate they dont mind the pcp i shoot in same field with horses they dont mind it but fire a springer there off big time ... you want a pure hunting tool .. how much you got to spend ????? scope wise as your new air rifle shooting id go for hawk map range that way you can down load there softwear to help you ...

hiho 5 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 get a springer less hassle just as accurate and cheaper if your gona spend lots of money you might as well get a hushpower shotgun on your SGC Quote Link to post
BBB 7 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 some of the best shot's i'v seen / done were with spring gun's i used to love em. but when my hw77 amputated half my thumb i moved over to pcp. Quote Link to post

Shooter08 0 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 If You Have a Decent Amount Of Cash, Get a Pcp, IF Not, Get a Springer, Personally I Would Get a Pcp! Quote Link to post
aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 alo a 4x40 scope does fine for me but you might want to go for something with a higher magnifacatiion wich will be a bit more expensive Quote Link to post
