.410 / silenced if you are doing urban work

I'll second that, I use a hushpower pedretti 410, with sub sonic carts, does the job, and quite too

If you need to dispatch in urban areas a shotgun could get you nicked big-time. Fuzz recommend sub-12 air rifle

I have used a .177 Weirauch springer air rifle with Bisley Vermin hollow point pellets a few times. Single shot to top of the head works every time and is more or less silent.

I've killed cubs in larsen traps with a shot from a sub-12 .22 air rifle in the back of the head. A couple more in the heart to make sure!

silenced 410 is ideal. I have a Bretton and Gaucher and its almost silent with a 2 inch cartridge.

Nice and discreet.

sub-12 air rifle do the police honestly recommend that. I have used a 410 and a 22lr to despatch fox but would never use a sub-12 air rifle to despatch any thing apart from rats and mink and corvids.

 

Have some respect for the animal lads kill it quick with a tool fit for the job.

I agree guys but that is what the law says. In public areas you should use sub-12 air close-up. Me, I'd use .410 2 1/2" point blank but the fuzz disagree.

I thought the law states you cant shoot a fox with anything less than 40gn?
