Britishbull24 131 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Just want to say a big thank you to Sam, (Silvertip). He was kind enough to take me out last night with his .22LR. Iv only ever used Air Rifles untill now and my permission has a pretty serious rabbit problem, And they are just to far to take. That problem was solved last night, We went out for a few hours before Dark and managed to get a few. I was amazed what a difference the .22 makes. I had a really good night and i hope Sam did to. Going out again next week to get a few more. Just waiting for my FAC application to come through now! Thanks again Sam, Top Bloke 1 Quote Link to post

IanB 0 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 If I could have only one rifle it would be a .22 Quote Link to post

markha 99 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Nice work and good look with your FAC application. I still go out with my air rifle and enjoy the stalk to close range, its all too easy to sit out with hmr or 223 and pick them off from a long way off. Quote Link to post
Britishbull24 131 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Thanks pal, Iv just got to pick 2 references now. Do you think my Brother in Law can be used as one? he isnt immediate family is he? Edited August 6, 2011 by Britishbull24 Quote Link to post
The Duncan 802 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I must confess, I still love my .177 for many rabbiting situations, but when I first used my rimmie for lamping I decided only to use the rimmie for lamping the bunnies. Much more forgiving than air power, incredibly quiet and very, very effective. I would never off-load my pcp airgun though as there are too many situaions I have to deal with where a 100 fpe rimmie is far too much gun. Good luck! Duncan Quote Link to post

Hello pal, in Northern Ireland your brother in law is NOT permitted to do referee, it may be different where you come from, but check it out first. Good luck Quote Link to post
Britishbull24 131 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I fear it's probably the same over here, Quote Link to post
