What is the best spring rifle for rabbit??

[stroller 341]

I dont want to jump through the hoops for a FAC so i want a good reliable accurate spring air rifle, not against the gas guns just prefer the spring type.

 

What telescopic sight is good in combination?

 

Any advice is gratefully received,I have never shot an airgun as a serious pest control weapon but they seem equal to the task in mind

 

Regards

With 500 quid you can have anything really.. Top springers are Weihrauch HW series, Air arms pro sport and TX200, and also a few more I cant think of right now!

if your budget is £500 , then get a precharge , so much better to shoot , and then you can get a multi shot aswell ,

Hi Stroller,

 

Some springers that you may want to have a look at with your budget i would say are as follows:

 

Weihrauch HW97K mark 2 Thumbhole - This is a dream machine.

 

AirArms Pro Sport or Air Arms TX200 mark 3, both very good and accurate rifles.

 

Weihrauch HW97K - without the thumb hole stock.

 

Weihrauch HW95K - Light weight but very accurate and full power.

 

Weihrauch HW77

 

Weihrauch HW98

 

Weihrauch HW90

 

Webley Longbow

 

Weihrauch HW80K

 

Webley Stingray II XS

 

BSA Lightning

 

BSA Supersport

 

All the above rifles are full power between 11 and 12 FP and kill all UK legal vermin.

 

For scopes i would look for either a 3-9x40 mm or a 3-9x50mm model as they are cheap and can be used for all kinds of vermin control.

 

A scope brand from Niko Stirling, Hawke, BSA, Tasco, SMK or from JS Ramsbottom are all useful scopes. The later 3 brands being the cheapest.

 

Being cheap though they are still very useful scopes.
