Anyone with any experience with it? I don’t shoot air rifles normally but I’ve been asked to clear feral pigeons from a place a ferret and have been offered one cheap 

cheers

if it,s working it will shoot pigeons no problem . I had a little experience with a gas strut brake barrel not this gun , the gas strut started to leak so the gun lost power . Saying that when the gun lost power it would have still had the power to knock off some pigeons from a roof if the gun holds zero . If it shoots at full power you may have a problem with where the pellet goes after you shoot the pigeon  . if you don't shoot spring air guns to shoot it accurately you hold the gun very loosely against your shoulder and let the gun move how it wants to after you pull the trigger there are lots of vids on this .

Have a go with the rifle at some targets first to establish how it shoots, if it's pretty accurate then it's probably worth buying, you don't mention calibre, but in your situation, I would consider a flat headed pellet, to avoid over penetration .
