Rez 4,961 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi all. The mrs and I are sat watching shit telleh, police interceptors in Lincolnshire, anyway, she pipes up and says she heard something on the radio, Jeremy vine show, about some 'urban fox sniper' running round London with a FAC air gun, shooting damn foxes as a pastime job... Is this true or is she just stitching me up. After a quick internet search there is some one doing this, it's just the air gun part that I'm interested in. I'm guessing its a safety thing, air gun over rimmy in confined areas. Quote Link to post
jeppi26 1,855 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 It true mate it's been on TV but am sure it's rimmy he uses pal Quote Link to post

Philluk 181 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Radio 2 on Thursday I think it was, you should be able to go to radio website on his page then missed a show and listen on line. Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 FAC air rilfe covers a whole lot of guns. If it's a 40+ ft/lb then it's no problem but a 20 ft/lber wouldn't be man enough for the job IMO unless you were going to beat the fox with it. I've seen a bloke on TV on the "Meet the Foxes" program and he defintely uses a rimfire. Looked like a left handed CZ. Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I listened to the programme the guy uses a rimfire with hollow point ammo ... He came across very well ....... Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Good. Thanks for the links chaps. Surely a close built up area would be ideal for the 303 DS. I guess the built up and aera and rimfire don't really work well in my mind, ricochets and such. Who's land is it? And doesn't current laws re actual bullets restrict such activities?
