Have a look at this and welcome to the forum

I use mine for hunting. Great little lightweight rifle and deadly accurate. People winge about shot count but it is perfect for hunting at 30 shots - unlikely you will need more than that.

 

Don't forget to budget for a pump or bottle as well though.

thanks mate i no i need a pump ot bottle shud i get it regulated

[oscarsdad 4]

Mine is not regulated-I would give it a go and see what you think of the standard rifle.

 

Reg will give you a higher shot count if you decide you need it.

Welcome to the forum

 

The Ultra is a very fine rifle, exceptional accuracy for such a small rifle.

It is more than suitable for hunting in the UK

Anything on the GL's will fall to it if you do your part

GL's are General License's

The GL's are what gives us permission to shoot our quarry.

do not no u need a general license for a air gun

[Phantom 631]

The General Licence are more a set of rules/guidelines, not a physical license on paper and they cost nothing

 

Have a read through them, because you need a reason to shoot any living animal because they are actually protected by law (wildlife and countryside act), so you need a reason, for example rabbits! They destroy lawns, crops, dig holes where cattle may fall and break their legs.

Wood pigeon, eat crops, seeds and cause damage.

Ferral pigeon are usually found inside buildings barns etc, they are a health risk.

 

Do you have some land to shoot over?
