  1. Not everyone where I work who keep an eye on traps feel comfortable dispatching rabbits with there bare hands so to speak and like James says there's no way I am sticking my hand into a cage trap with a angry rat inside . Caught a stoat in one the other day and that was bad enough trying to get that nasty little shite out.
  2. the one I use at work is a Crossman 2240 think it was around £ use hollow points ( right way round) head shot at very close range have never needed a follow up shot to finish off , keep a note of how many shots you have had as there's no pressure gauge
  3. At work use a crossman co2 pistol in .22 for despatching rabbits caught in cage traps . But would put the pellet in the right way round use hollow points found it does a good job at really close range
  4. first cock the gun then try and fill , sounds like the gun is empty of air ,
  5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK6HEpmp5nY&list=UUthxJ7N1usTDbd4n_aSSO7g but compare it to this , maybe this is for the fac? 0.51
  6. And quite a bit smaller . After watching the guy from south Africa on you tube comparing the q-Tec to the tx 585 mods the q-Tec looks a lot larger and a bit longer and the last thing the extra fac needs is to be LONGER .
  7. or you could save yourself £20 and get the tx one
  8. try and swap it for tx585 mod , I have had no issues with mine
  9. At what range are you shooting . On my s510 @40 yards notice no real difference but at range I do think it groups tighter with the moderator on . Maybe the calibre specific mod scrubs some velocity off . Even though it's shooting 10 inches low is it still consistent?
  10. I agree with James , on one of my posh garden permissions which was over run with rabbits I managed to shoot four in very quick succession before the rest of them figured out what was happening and buggered off I Don't think a slightly quieter moderator would of made any difference they still didn't know where the danger was coming from. Save your brass and stick with what you have.
  11. using the tx585 on my s510 find it very quiet , I won't be upgrading just to get a couple of db quieter , I bet with the naked ear you won't be able to hear much difference and at 30yrds probably make no difference , unless I can try one and find out it's a lot better then I would probably get one .
  12. does your budget include a scope , seen a hw95 at around £260 won't go far wrong, but will need to buy a scope , hawke 3x9x40 will do the trick
  13. I had a hw 35 many years ago it was a bit rough so I sold it to buy a brand new bsa lightning. Won´t make that mistake again
  14. does the gauge on the dive bottle read the same as the one on the rifle , do they both stop at 100 bar
  15. maybe there's only 100 bar in the bottle , you say it's brand new did they fill it for you in the shop ?
  16. What's your budget fella. If you want a pcp you won't go far wrong with a bsa ultra in .177 Springer go for hw 95 .177 Top it with a hawke 3/9/50 milldot scope something like that. Shergar
  17. Don't bother with the walther r8 get something tryed and tested for a bit more money get yourself a bsa ultra se in .177 cracking little gun nice and light very pointable and stupidly accurate . You won't regret it Shergar Whatever you do don't get a lightning
  18. keep knocking on doors fella , like the lads say try golf courses , farms , plant nursery's and big private houses etc , first thing I would do is get some sort of shooting insurance like joining BASC or some other organisation like that .
  19. I think he means the gun in question not the calibre
  20. buy it , then lie to the wife about how much it costs
  21. whatever you do don't get a lightning there shite bsa ultra is a much better option , any calibre will do the job doesn't matter if it's .177 .22 or .25 when you hit them in the head there dead . I would go for the .177, in 12 fpe I think is the more versatile calibre if your quarry situation changes if you know what I mean. but if you want a springer you won't go far wrong with a hw 95 shergar
