    Ha! That's what I came here to say. Now, to find the subject using THAT instead of WHO...

    PS - My dad's air rifle was great. No idea who made it though. I didn't think anybody bought air rifles, i thought you just found them in cupboards under the stairs.

    If you get one, can you let us know how you get on with it. Foxes in my garden are doing my nut in.

    Also as for brands, not that I know anything about it really, but I'd opt for a company that also make actual guns.
    They should know what they're doing.

    Just head to the gun shop in Welling and tell them what you want it for.

    I bought one to shoot millwall fansrats that were at the bottom of the garden.

    JiMMy85: your dad's rifle was (and is) an 'Original' from the BSA company. And it's still under the stairs.

    Rumour used to have it that Killer was the man to see about armaments.

    People kill people but it's quite an effort.

    People + guns kill people with ease.

    in fact by kimbo's ruling

    Trains should be banned (when you fall in front of them by accident they kill you)
    cars should be banned (crashes into you which kills you)
    alcohol should be banned (causes liver disease which kills you)
    bacon should be banned (causes cholestrol which kills you)

    Do you read the dailly mail Kimbo

    Ban all and everything that does any harm to anyone.

    Sorry rant over

    Personally there's nothing more macho than shooting an air rifle, if used safely and correctly. If target shooting, it's great fun, or if you are going hunting; rabbit is great in a stew! As someone has already stated, the gun shop in Welling is excellent.

    But if you're thinking about using it for pest control, there are probably better ways. Killing them removes that one animal, but in all probability there will be more than one so the problem will persist, and it only creates a vacuum for others to move into. Much better to proof or deter. Basically, pest control is like burglary, you have to make your neighbour's property more appealing than your own.

    Still wrong. Rifle as the verb wouldn't work either. Not correctable it's so bad.

    Ironic thread this. Well done Leftbehind.

    Strangely no, read the guardian, cannot see the point of them other than to hurt animals - and i am an animal lover. If you are using it for target practice then fine - very manly
