Totally agree an air rifle is a more suitable weapon for pests, but many years ago, I shot loads of rats and mice, around the buildings with an old webley .22 pistol, and I shot bucketfuls of baby rabbits in the garden, having rested on top of the garden wall with a cr

Crossman pump up .22.

 

It does sometimes depend on the quarry, the range and your skill, however I wouldn't do it now, because I have more suitable tools for the job.

i know im new here so might not be taken seriously but ive hunted for along time using air rifles but i also have a crosman 2240 pistol it has the stock of the ratcatcher scope ect but standard barrel and power !! i have killed countless rats, pigeons and 1 rabbit with it not at huge range but 10-15 meters 1 shot kills my old man is amazed how good it is ........

 

so coming from someone that has a pistol and has used it for hunting and told by the gun shop it was the only pistol they sold that would kill small pests i would recommend it highly ;) i also had the rat catcher before this and i also found that a great gun and with the extra bit of power was great hope this helps you a little

      Hi guys I and 2 mates are looking for some permission for some rabbit hunting in cornwall but can’t find where to ask. I and my mates are all greatly skilled with air rifles from just sitting in the back of our gardens with targets roughly 50-100yards and want to move onto small game so if anyone knows of anyone in cornwall that would give us permission please let me know.

      Hi, we're having a sudden rat infestation on our small holding in North Cotswolds. Wondering if there are any people around with ratting dogs who want a bit of work?
