Thread: Air rifle

I'm using a .25cal Diana PCP (yep, the Chinese made, German tuned ones), and it's magic on Rabbits and Hares. Might not be the go for using inside a barn, as they carry a fair bit of energy, and will quite possibly put holes in the roofing / cladding.

I guess I'm lucky. The wife enjoys shooting the .22lr and air rifle in the back yard, and the neighbors want all of their rabbits dead.
As for having the boys in blue turning up for using the air rifle at home, the Arms code has the following entry in regards to this. You are covered by the code, so should have no issues.

"Airguns may be used safely at home by setting up a properly
constructed range in your backyard or basement. In this way
you can enjoy your airgun in a safe and responsible way.
• Your range must have a ‘backstop’ e.g. a solid fence or
wall.
• No one should be able to walk between the target and
your airgun while you are shooting.
• The target needs to be fixed to a ‘pellet trap’ e.g. a
cardboard box full of sand."
