Chaps. What are you thoughts on one of these?

 

I'm after something decent for minimal outlay that will allow me to do some rat control in areas that are unsafe for my rimmy. I might use it to do some treerat bashing as well. I'm not interested in a PCP.

 

All constructive advice/opinions and alternative options appreciated.

 

Cheers

Cheer mate. I'll take a look.

 

It is going to have to be a break barrel. I used to have an AA Prosport and while ago, and I managed to slice a piece of flesh off one day when I was repositioning the cocking arm after reloading. . I left my hand over the breech port. . I just can't be trusted.

 

As well as owning many Air Arms in the past, I've had a good number of Weihrauchs (springers and PCPs). I might take a look at the HW99.

 

Cheers.

I had a bsa supersport in the early nineties, used to good effect on rabbits and squirrels. It seemed fairly well made and sweet shooting but maybe later ones weren't so good? All I can say is, for the price, I thought it was fairly good. Having said that, I've got an hw99s now and that's a lovely little sweet shooting rifle that's well engineered. I'm well happy with it and would recommend one.
