Davy:

What gun do you recommend I get?

I think it's time I look into specific models not just the makers

hi callum

its all down to budget buddy I'm afraid,my advise would be get a springer rifle first learn how to shoot a recoiling air rifle first which you could pick up for about £100/£150 scope n all.

 

then you need to decide if you want to stick with springer's as many do!

or go for a PCP ( Pre-Charged Pneumatic Rifle )

then your budget can go from £300 to £1200 if money is no object,as you will need a pump or a divers bottle to fill it ( the rifle that is )

 

but you will need insurance! to if you are going to do use it on some ones land,most peeps wont even think about it,if you haven't got it as it shows responsible shooting

if you can get to a shop who will let you try before you buy then thats defo worth it,as the rifle has to fit you.and if you don't feel right shooting it then don't buy it,its all down to personal preference and budget I'm afraid. but don't be shy to ask others there opinions as there are many lads on here who use budget rifles & mid range priced rifles with good results.

me included

 

its not to say if you spend £900 on a rifle then it will do everything you require, as one a quarter the price will do the same ,just technique and experience will make you a better shooter!

Thanks!

I have permission and I don't really like the springer because it's too noisy and I'm not too good from shooting just normally with no rest and apparently if you rest it on 2 different surfaces it loses zero.

I have a crappy SMK springer thats like 5 ft/lbs and a 4x32 scope and I can't find other decent ones

Any ideas but if I practice i'm sure i'll get better etc;

And do you know what I could rest it on?

Many thanks Davy!

And another question:

When you shoot a squirrel do you release the urine as you would with a rabbit or not?

Thanks

if you practice your groups will get better,you need to do some paper punching.so get your self a cushion or small beanbag,your arm,rucksack,but never a bi-pod because of the recoil

if you need some A4 size targets to print of let me know,i have some designed my self and very useful

when grouping

if I'm selling it on yes! if I'm eating it myself yes!

Ok thanks!Just checked out your youtube videos they are very good!

I didn't realise how much movement the scope would make when shooting (not saying your bad)

But maybe I won't be as bad as I think.

It's not all static like on the games

 

What do you think of the BSA Lightning?

I saw it on BAR for i think it was 214 pounds and I might be able to find one for about a hundred if i'm lucky

hi callum

yes they have had some good reviews,and also another shooting buddy of mine rob(spike25blue) who owns the air gun site i gave you the link too! he had one of them me tinks.and nice to shoot too!

go for it callum, and grow from there!

 

and scopecam shooting is not as easy as it looks,took me a lot of time to biuld up the confidance to shoot live quarry this way,but is still affective if you know what ya doing!

Thanks alot big help!

I have 20 pound in my fund so I think I may start to look out for some second hand lightnings!I'm pretty sure they are powerful enough to kill woodies etc; and I might just be able to get an extra 15 quid very soon to my fund!

Thanks again
