This is just the sort of advice the antis love ! eye/ear shot my arse. Although you are spot on with the get a ticket and a more suitable foxing tool (.223 is best for most applications). Air rifles are not suitable for anything other than vermin / FAC or not. Quote Link to post
aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 an fac air rifle (40FTIB) would would be a useful tool for clearing fox snares i think. but obviously it would have to be a straight to head shot. Quote Link to post

Ok if thats your attitude, the op asked if a FAC air rifle would kill a fox, he got the answer and the advice that yes it would, but get something more suitable. Shove that up your arse.

RAMCAM 4 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 THIS MIGHT BE OF SOME USE. DO NOT Discuss the taking of unsuitable quarry, with air rifles. Talk of shooting foxes, or deer, are strictly off limits and will see your account deleted. Anything that will bring us into disrepute will be removed from the forum. You are not as anonymous, as you think you are, and these forums are covertly monitored by various legal, anti, and journalistic bodies. See Guideline Number 2. Quote Link to post
