Hi, as anyone got an Air rifle for sale, capable of killing wood pigeons & squirrels.

Just lately they have become a pest in my garden, I live outside the village/town

of Melbourne Derbyshire with fields at the back so should not be any danger to the public.

I did see a topic on Air rifles some time ago, but not being able to come on line very often to use this forum, I do not know how to bring up the post.

Hope I am not being presumptuous as I am not in the wood cutting business.

You really should not be using an air rifle to kill anything unless you know what your doing and judging by your question you dont really sound familiar with guns ... no offence intended but you should know what you are doing to kill in a humane manner

get in touch with jp beaver on arbtalk, he knows a lot about air rifles.

Thats a very good point. I'm not adverse to shooting the odd fluffy or feathery thing myself but will only do so if I can be sure it will be a nice clean kill. I've been shooting for 20 years, I wouldn't recommend it to a novice.
