Pest control air rifle

Excellent bit of kit, used to use it for pigeon in railway stations etc but don't do that contract any more and don't want to leave it to gather dust.

Logun S-16, professional pest controller's air gun, great for rabbit, pigeon and rats. Almost totally silent, .22 calibre, straight-pull bolt. Filled from a dive bottle (included) and with a Nikko Stirling scope, cost is £450.00 and I'm happy to give lessons and deliver within reasonable range of Exeter.

Nice-looking piece of kit.
Got an air rifle already; can't really justify another.

Nice looking rifle, Simon. Would it be able to be upgraded to FAC do you think?....Just had my ticket changed to include fac air rifle in .22 format, you see.

Rabbits?

Would it be any good for Tahir?


As a casual observer, I wonder what the range might be against, say, rabbits, how one gets a dive bottle refilled, and what legalities surround ownership and use of such a thing... ?

I was thinking that but I honestly haven't got the time to do it yet.

Fine on rabbits and bottles can be recharged at almost any gun shop for a very small fee, although they last for years on a charge in most cases. Wink

This morning I went to my local gun shop, looking at FAC rated BSA air rifles. The problem is that it takes so much air to propel a pellet at those velocities that the air reservoir will only be good for 40 shots if the rifle fires at 24 ft pounds, compared with 230 in 12 ft pound format.

I can't imagine it would have enough oomph to do more than just annoy him really...
