    Crosman Ratcatcher?

    undefinedHiya can anyone tell me about these ratcatchers please?We have a problem with Rats at the stables,and a full sized air rifle isn't realy practical,so althought iv'e had many guns ,including pre charged,I'm not familier with the rc,will it kill a rat at 15 -20 meters? is the trigger heavy as on some other crosmans i've had,and are they accurate?
    Last ? if I may ,are they any good?

    If most are the same as mine I would say you would be pushing it at 20M.

    I have used it on vermin out to 15m with some success - and it is certainly accurate enough. The trigger is heavy - but can be lightened by polishing the sear and trigger contact points.

    If I am honest - I usually revert to my AA410K over 15M - but the ratty is easy to bring up - and great at short ranges.

    I have a modded ratty ( 18" barrel, TR Robb Ally breech and a tweaked trigger) complete with a sound biter silencer and during the summer on the farm where we shoot , I took out CLEANLY , ie single shot , 3 rabbits from standing shots in less than 10mins. The first was at approx 40yrds , next at 25yds and 3rd at about 33yrds.

    The 40yarder was an eye shot and it dropped like a stone !!! the other two were clean head shots.

    My Ratty is running at around 10.3ft/lbs during the summer, with about 20 shots per co2 cylinder, at this level before the power drops off

    Admittedly rattys are improved considerably with a bit of tweaking , especially the alloy breach, the nice thing with them is that with care you get a nice accurate very lightweight pointable airgun at a reasonable cost.

    JMHO of course,
