i occasionally shoot rats with a BSA meteor,i recomend a wad cutter pellet what ever gun yer using.

 

 

If you want to shoot rats for a bit of fun or even professionally almost any .22 calibre multishot at full 12ft lb power will do, hollow point are best, then wadcutter then domed.

If you are really serious about stopping rats with an air rifle you will need a Theoben Rapid in .25 with a 12 shot mag running at 12ft lb. The smaller calibres, the .177, the .20 and even the .22 will commonly go clean through and ratty will often run away to die in your drains etc. The .25 hits like an express train and ratty rolls over dead. Problem is the .25 has an arc like a rainbow so you really need to know it well and whilst it is the ideal ratting air rifle it is almost useless on most other things...so thats a £1000++ package to shoot rats.

 

A personal view built on a big pile of dead rats over many years. Don't shout at me until you try a Rapid in .25 on a rat!

im out ratting most weekends at a couple of local farms and i find that my bsa superten csrbine really works well.i have 3 magazines and a logun gun lamp and you can get right into them without having to stop every minute or so.
