Stuart1985 256 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 is it not ilegal to shoot hares with air rifle Your right ...........it is not. like archie has said it is not illegal. a hare will go down just as much as a rabbit from a headshot or heart shot with a air rifle. As long as you dont go taking shots at mad distances. ps archie who are they two in your picture Quote Link to post
Stuart1985 256 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Nice one. Love the gun, hows the recoil on one of these fellas?

Stuart1985 256 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Good old solid Diana 52/48 mod it's a cracking rifle made even better Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,587 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 They are a lovely rifle and one of the best sidelevers Diana made. Good solid rifle with a great trigger and a nice heft. The V-Mach kit sounds a brilliant refit for this rifle of your Stuart. Nice couple of Hare at decent range. Well shot! Simon 1 Quote Link to post
