Hi, mate.

 

You'll need a licence for any type of gun where you are, Hunter.

 

Not really a good idea to ask for loop holes on a public forum, mate, don't know who's watching....

 

Give us an idea as to how much you want to spend, then maybe someone can help.

 

Cheers.

Are you NI or Eire?

 

In NI all air rifles are on ticket, with no exceptions.

 

Give us an idea of your budget and we can recommend a few options!

£100 wont get you much mate, you will be looking at a cheap break barrel for that sort of money.

In Eire, it's illegal to use airguns for hunting!

 

Air Rifles

Firearms certificates for air rifles are granted by the Superintendent of your local police district. These weapons are dangerous and can only be used for target practice purposes; they can never be used to shoot small animals, birds or protected species of wildlife. You will be required to complete an application form in the presence of the Garda on duty who will forward your application to the Superintendent and make recommendations on your application. The Superintendent will grant or refuse your application.
