Which should i get?

[Parabuteos lad 878]

i have permission on two golfcourse's to control rabbits, i would like an air rifle but im unsure which to choose. i want to do it properly and understand you get what you pay for. i have around £300 to spend and would like to know which you feel is the best pcp for the job. i would like it to be quiet and accurate. also i dont want a second hand gun p.s. i apologise as you must see these topics daily

A second user Air Arms S200

Olympic grade accuracy with UK hunting power Deadly. However I would suggest that you begin on paper targets at differing ranges before attempting the tiny kill zone of a bunnies brain

 

Enjoy

is it a multishot? because although i said i dont want a second hand gun, i would consider it as i like the look of s200.

i also have plenty of time to practice as i wont be going untill the babies are grown

[Phantom 631]

There are both single and multishot versions about in the S200 range

Didn't see the bit about second hand.

 

Still mine is 2nd user and its taken thousands of bunnies. If you do your bit it will reward you every single shot

I've not heard of hardly any AA's developing faults. My own had developed a leak at the cylinder at one point, but that was down to the actual age of the gun (its a fair age, well actually its a very old bugger) A simple reseal with a bit of PTFE stopped it and Its still holding the charge that I gave it before xmas last year. It should have been emptied a million times over since then, I've just not had the chance to get onto my permissions and shoot this year

 

Without wishing to stir up a hornets nest, I'd say the AA range is the HW of the PCP. Built to last and very reliable

had no trouble with mine

after pretty much having my heart set on sweeney's s200 my mate gave me his brand new, only 40 shots fired, BSA Ultra multishot, my intentions are to purchase a twink, a decent scope and a pump. what are your thoughts on the BSA?

[Phantom 631]

I have both in .22

 

Both are excellent tools for both hunting and precision target work

And if your up to it, very long range target work. Check out the vids Si (Zini) and I did with the Ultra in Germany back in January

Have you got a link?

Here you go

Hi Para.

 

You wont go far wrong with your Ultra mate, excellent rifle.

As I said, give davyt63 a shout for the Twink.

Good luck with your new rifle buddy

 

ATB.
