Sgt.McMuffin 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hello, i'll be getting a BSA XL Tactical in May, i will be wanting to hunt fairly quickly so my first questions are, Should i get a 177 or 22, my main hunt are birds but i hunt rabbits too, my dad will support the rabbit hunts with his 22? Will May be a good time to hunt plenty or lack of birds and rabbits at that time? Some optional Questions also Are feral pigeons as good to eat as woodies? And is the BSA Xl Tac a good choice as my back up is the Bsa Lightning. Thanks in advance Quote Link to post
paddy.t 5 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Eating feral pigeons NO NO NO .177 or .22 would both be fine for rabbit or bird mate. Will May be a good time to hunt plenty or lack of birds and rabbits at that time <-- Dont quite understand that but. BSA are good guns mate, cant go far wrong. Just see what fits you best and which you like most. Quote Link to post
Sgt.McMuffin 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 No worries i havent ate any feral...just wondering though if people do, And in may (spring/early summer) i meant, will there be a lot of birds and rabbits around, or will there be a lack of them. Quote Link to post

Aren't they the same rifle with different stocks? The tactical being synthetic and the lightning being wood? Quote Link to post
Sgt.McMuffin 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 mad al, I meant the lightning xl, but its proberly makes little difference..and if what you say is true..this is good...makes an easy second choice then. Quote Link to post
