I used to have one and used it until the novelty wore off, which was about ten minutes. They,re inaccurate and illegal to hunt with.

Save your money Moz, they're boring and will cost you a fortune in bolts

No way!! I might plum for an air rifle then, Used to have a few but havent owned one for a few years now.

Now your talking

What do you guys recommend as a good air rifle?? dont want it to cost the earth and will only be used for targets, the odd rat and general fun use!!

crossbows are lethal mate, mick and dean are right, i always wanted one all my life, my dad would never let me. i have always had airguns and bows. i was given a crossbow:scared1:would go through a metal men at work sign at 50 yards. i fired it about 5 times, lost the five bolts, had a really dodgy ricochet. so cut the string and binned it. i have had an air arms for about 20 years, great rifle. hardly use it, but i would never part with it, i think if you spent a few hundred quid you would get something really nice with a silencer and scope, but i think mick would be the best one for this:001_smile:

I,m well out of touch with airguns Stevie. The last I had was an Airarms S300 single shot precharge, deadly accurate and can be modified to fire at 30ft lbs. Swapped it for a Bruno .22 rimfire.

Son nagged and nagged for one,so he got it xmas morning. I had it back in bits and in the box by dinner. First shot went half way through yellow pages book. Second one was at a target against the fence.It went through the target and the fence,the horses water bath was at the other side of fence where they were drinking. Luckily the two horses stand about 4' high so it missed. Hate to think what could happen if you got a few lads playing around with one. Bought him a push and pop air pistle instead. He can just about hit a 6'x6' fence panel at 5 yards but he still thinks he's rambo..lol
