what you would probably end up doing, is getting it, shooting rats and birds, and find youd wana do a dash of rabbiting etc, and those king rat catchers are about 10ft lbs i think aint they? so it just limits your range slightly...go for a well know springer, loads flying about..my mate picked up a gas ram hw90k for 80quid, with just a few scratches, and it had a receipt with servicing a month before he had it...bargain
